Re: RCI Weeks Class Action Settlement Decision Required by Nov. 20, 2009 (by Lee W.):
I am concerned about the constant delays and most likely appeals that will drag this lawsuit and claim on for many years without any real value coming to RCI weeks membership that we must continue to pay our yearly dues to even partake in this settlement...I stopped depositing my 3 timeshares I own with RCI because even putting a search over a year in advance gave me nothing and I had to settle for timeshares I really did not want to exchange for just to get the usage of my deposit. I have since started using Red weeks, joined DAE( which you can search prior to deposit), Trading Places and Platinum Interchange...If more of us would use these free or minimal cost excahnge opportunities RCI wouldn't have the grasp of the industry they control now and might have to rethink their exchange and rental programs to be useful again to timeshare owners and not the monopoly they have now as owners of timeshares, exchanger and rental conglomerate they have become.
