Conversion to RCI Points (by Lance C.):

Hi, The Park Plaza just went to RCI Points and I sat thru a presentation today. I liked the flexibility of the program, but was really disappointed when they told it would cost $4500 to "convert" to RCI points.

I'm not currently a member of RCI because I've always used my floating ski week at my home resort and have seen no need. I was wondering if this exorborant fee was typically or is there a way around it. I was wondering if I bought another Timeshare that was already enrolled in RCI Points could I just add this property to my account.

Any help would be appreciated!! I'm really struggling with shelling out thousands of dollars just to be granted some additional flexibility.

Thanks in advance, Mike

There's no need to shell out thousands of dollars for this. It's just another way resorts are trying to raise cash and empty your wallet. If you feel the desperate need and urge to own an RCI points property, I'm sure there are plenty available on E-bay and elsewhere for peanuts.

Like almost all things being offered by the resorts or their developers, they are not worth the price. Besides, if you usually use a floating week at your home resort, why pay for this conversion?
