Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Lena P.):

My husband and I received the following invitation last week:

"Dear Manhattan Club Owner, You are cordially invited to attend our second New Jersey owner meeting at the Holiday Inn in South Plainfield, NJ designed to communicate important information about your current ownership, changes in the industry as a whole and how you may be affected. We will start with new ways to help you get reservations into the Manhattan Club along with the choices available regarding exchange companies, including RCI Points. In about an hour’s time, we will get you up to date, walk you through the new online resources and reservation options and assist with any aspect of your Manhattan Club membership that is not meeting your expectations."

When I called to RSVP, I was told we received the email in error, because we are already points owners and the meeting is to convert weeks owners into points. I asked if we could still come to complain and inform the potential "convertees" that while being a points owner does allow you to reserve Manhattan Club at 11 months, you must use RCI to do so. This means paying RCI dues (currently $125 per year) just to use your points to book your "home" resort. The only thing I dislike more than my Manhattan Club ownership is my RCI membership. Needless to say, she told me not to come to the meeting and to bring my concerns to an owners meeting at the Manhattan Club.
