points sales

I am a member at RCI, and have been told that if I sell my points through another company, I can be banned from them as a member? Any thoughts on this?

I am not a lawyer, but if you own the points, then it sounds like a restraint of trade issue, unless you agreed to those terms when you purchased the points. Stan.

Raintree is the actual company which handles Club Regina and they are 'somewhat' affiliated with RCI - at least that is what their sales people and literature say. RCI will not bank their weeks directly and Club Regina was unable, over a 6 month period, to find a resort in Maui (from a list of 68 resorts) for an RCI exchange. So...infer what you want. If Club Regina or RCI get 'on the muscle' there will be litigation and very bad press.

We have 434,000 points to sell with the home resort being Fairfield Kona Hawaiian Village. I read somewhere that a competitive price would be 25% - 33% of what we paid which would be $12,540.00 at the 33% level. For you that have been using this site for a while, does that seem like a good price? Also, Do I list these points for sale under Timeshares for Sale or Rent or is there another place specific to points. Thanks for any input.

Hi. List your property as Fairfield Kona Hawaiian Village with 434,000 points undivided interest. The price is up to you obviously, but I can buy 540,000 points on ebay for $8000.00 at this moment. Admittedly, not in Hawaii, but in Las Vegas and Arizona. Good Luck, Stan.

Thanks, Stan, I have decided to rent these points for this year for .065 per point which would be 2821.00. Should I call Fairfield and get some confirmed weeks and then post the weeks or just put the entire 434,000 for rent and the renter can choose where they want to go. Thanks for the help. I am new and just want to get this done.

Hi. I don't know whcih is best. Your rent for the points is on the high side. Check the Redwishes, there were other ads for point rentals at lower prices than yours. I would suggest that if you are not successful, in renting your points or weeks that you deposit your points with your exchange company before your use year is up. You can get many weeks if you deposit non "red" week. I also suggest that you make your exchange deposits as a combination visible on line deposits and some off line deposits. That way you can search for vacation weeks using the computer. Good Luck. Stan.

Since you are in a position to make a reservation at Kona up to 13 months ahead, why don't you reply to some of these folks we are hearing complain here that they can't get Hawaii via RCI? You can also post "to rent" on Redweeks leaving the dates open. And don't forget to check out the Red Wishes for folks looking for Aloha time!

Are you talking about "RCI Points" or the points of some other system such as Fairfield or Bluegreen? If they are RCI Points or on deposit with RCI, I suppose they may be under the same rules as weeks that have been deposited with RCI and can't be put up for rent. If the points are from a resort or resort group and have not been deposited with RCI, I don't think RCI has any control over them . They certainly don't with Fairfield points.

I would hesitate to say "This is a lie" without a lot more clarification. Again, is Candy talking about RCI Points or some other kind? Big difference.
