This begs the question of what the situation is when the week is NOT deposited with RCI. As Jay Jay points out, there are other exchange companies out there. I know that at our Quarter House resort, we can have the resort rent it for us and RCI is not involved. (Our Quarter House is with II - I need to check if our Hilton Head timeshare could be with II as well or vice versa, QH with RCI - it occurs that I am paying two exchange companies when maybe I don't have to.)

Many resorts are affiliated with both RCI and II .... you don't have to be members of both.

So, back to the question: what if the week is not in RCI's bank or II's bank? Of course that was not brought up during the SHR/PRL/VSI presentation we attended but is it possible that they have some (legitimate) one-time arrangement with RCI to "take over" the deposited weeks and, from then on, the weeks are deposited directly with PRL? Please understand - i am NOT "defending" BJ or PRL - I am trying to understand.

RCI would not affiliated with PRL or VSI ..... they would be competition with RCI,

The idea that RCi rents out "timeshare" exchanges to the public which removes it from the exchanges available to me as a timeshare owner is new to me and seems to be pretty well accepted as fact on this forum. While someone apparently justified that as a business practice, it seems wrong.

If you're alleging me of justifying RCI's renting deposits .... I said plainly that I did not condone RCI for doing this .... I merely said that it has always been in RCI's Terms and Conditions that once you deposit a week with them then that week belongs to them and they can do with it whatever they wish. It's been there since I first started buying timeshares and became a member of RCI:

quoting directly from RCI's Terms and Conditions 6C:

"By depositing Vacation Ownership with RCI, you relinquish all rights to use that Vacation Ownership and agree that such deposited Vacation Ownership may be used by RCI to conduct exchanges, inspection visits, promotions and for OTHER PURPOSES at RCI's descretion".
