Resale RCI Points Properties (by Nancy S.):

We recently attended an "owner presentation" at one of our timeshares. (We own 3 RCI points timeshares.) Our "presentation" got off to a bad start when our sales rep reviewed our properties and told us that 2 of our properties would eventually be "caught" by RCI and reverted to weeks since we purchased them on the secondary market (Ebay for $1 each) and points to do not transfer to non-relatives through a resale. He said that RCI would contact us and expect us to pay a sizable fee to continue on the points system. (He said this was the disadvantage to using the secondary market and most buyers are not aware of this.)

We felt very threatened by his demeanor, as if he was obligated to notify RCI of our "issue."

Is this true? With so much activity on the secondary markets with sales of RCI points properties, I was convinced that he was not telling us the truth. We have owned the properties for several years now and have had no trouble using the points.

We'd love your objective opinion.
