Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Dru M.):

Like Rogers334, we bought for cash in 2005, also joined RCI in '14 , but have not been that thrilled with RCI. We have been mainly Manhattan Club users but find it highly annoying that RCI/tmcny owners are treated like ordinary RCI folk whose home base is NOT tmcny. Previous to joining RCI we could book our largely 1-nite stays 9 mo. in advance. Now we must make reservations through RCI 11 months in advance. Also, if one goes on "Booking.com" or similar outfit, there are always hotel rooms available at tmcny, but we can not get a reservation as RCI members. We have considered giving up the RCI points, since many tmcny owners report that it is relatively easy to make reservations now that so many owners are not paying the annual fees. We have found that only RC:I Gold Crown resorts have the quality that we desire. Some of the reviews of non Gold Crown resorts are rather grim. We don't know quite what to do re the Zimmerman, Esq proposal. I guess my gut is to wait out the 3 year AG-Manhattan Club agreement and hope they really do sell to a respectible outfit. But it does make us wonder if there are any "teeth" to the AG settlement. Seems it may be like winning $X in a law suit but collecting the $ is not possible. We also find it extremely unfair that the board with Eichner as Pres is continuing to run things. Seems to us that he should have had to relinquish all control immediately with an administrator appointed to run the place as well as figure out how to dispense the penalty funds to owners. Dee
