May Newsletter Q&A: Second Market Timeshare Owners 'Caught' By RCI (by Theresa S.):
As a former timeshare salesperson and a timeshare owner, I can tell you that when you are in a timeshare presentation the sole purpose of that presentation is to get you to buy something. You walked in as an owner, so the salesperson had to invent a "problem" with you ownership that would require you to purchase something to "fix" it. By saying your properties' would be "caught" by RCI he planted the seed of doubt and now you are afraid to call RCI to verify what he said for fear it will alert them to the problem. Do not believe a sales rep! They are schooled in ways to make you buy. Simply contact RCI and ask to verify your properties' points and never, never go to another "owner presentation". They are ALL Sales Presentations! You will talk to a sales rep every time not a resort rep. BTW, I congratulate you for buying on the secondary market.
