Very helpful analysis. Thanks for the broad picture of this merger.

I have found RCI to have become more and more useless as the years pass. ten years ago they could match requests for the past 4 years they have not been able to match 1 request . I have just deposited with DAE, let's keep our fingers crossed.

As we are now nearing the end of 2019 - any updates of this would be good .

So Club Wyndham South Pacific is now allowing owners to only exchange with RCI, and not DAE or Interval, so it seems that DAE hasn't done well out of this change.

I have been with DAE for years but since RCI took over the website has changed drastically for the worse and no longer showers reviews. All very disappointing. I have 2 weeks with them, and will not place any more after I have used these. Would rather they sat empty!

Ever since RCI took over DAE the customer service has gone way way down. I purposely avoided RCI and have been depositing with DAE for years and they would always go above and beyond to fulfill a request. Since RCI has been involved all they want to do upgrade to "Gold Status" for better exchange options, which naturally costs more. In the past two years I have not had an exchange request fulfilled. So disappointed with no real options out there.
