RCI is owned by Wyndham Corporation. And Wyndham Corporation is in the business of making money. And if the real truth was told in a timeshare sales meeting, no one would ever buy a timeshare. You are right. It is not fair, but it is reality. If you want to have some "fun" - go to Youtube. Search for "Wyndham." And look for the guy with the red shirt. He has a 7 minute video where he complains about Wyndham and their fees. The real insane part is that the video is EIGHT years old. It has been going on for years, and Wyndham stock continues to rise - in part thanks to RCI fees.
