Re: raintree vacation club (by Clive B.):

bobp110.... Close, but not quite all the story.....I deposited my Whiski Jack Ironwood fixed weeks with raintree in the last couple of days. This was after the agreement with WRAC was terminated.Recieved full 320,000 points in my Raintree Vacation Club as always (I have two Holiday weeks I purchased on the resale market for just over 10c on the dollar ). The Raintree booking rep told me the fixed weeks will continue to operate exactly the same as before, wasn't sure about any floating weeks with RVC membership. If you had a non RVC membership week you used to pay your maintenance fee to WRAC. Not RVC. If you had a RVC membership week you still paid your maintenance fee to WRAC, but, there was an additional line item at the bottom of the statement showing they collected a fee on behalf of Raintree for the RVC membership and assumably forwarded it to RVC. Bottom line is at this point it seems like nothing other than a positive change as far as I am concerned? I also contacted TPI ( WRAC's replacement) and they tell me I will have access to all of there membership benefits as well. I have zero connection whatsoever with RVC apart from my Whiski Jack ownership. I could not be happier with my membership/ownership experience to date. My maintenance fees total $1,600 a year. This year I have spent three weeks on Isla Majures, am going to Cabo for a week in November, Palm springs for two weeks and used my points to pay for five nights hotels while riding to and from Palm Springs. For $1,600...... That's damn near free ( $32 a night ).
