Jerry R TUG Member Posts: 2 From: Registered: May 2005	posted 05-17-2005 17:21 Dumb Question but I thought I would stick my neck out anyway. Is there anyway to get a RCI membership withgout actually buying a affliated time share unit? If not what is the cheapest way to get one? We just backed of a purchase for a unit in wells Maine. I fully realized I have no way of knowing whats going on till we get our feet wet. Bottom line is we live in Maine but enjoy Vegas. I also travel there once a year on Business. Any reponses are fully welcome. JR IP: Logged

We may make exceptions in cases where existing RCI members no longer own their timeshares. This may be the result of a sale, divorce, or right-to-use years being exhausted. RCI has always believed that timeshare ownership is a key element to participation in the RCI exchange program. It is important that we protect the exclusivity of RCI membership and the use of exchange products like Extra Vacations. ------------------ ~ Madge IP: Logged

Owners there don't have the option of an independant RCI membership. I like the idea of being able to see for myself what is available on Last Call and Extra Vacation. But I'm unable to search any RCI offering because I must use the Club's counselors. ------------------ Bill IP: Logged
Madge TUG Member Posts: 3716 From: Carmel, IN Registered: Jan 2003	posted 05-23-2005 15:30 Bill, The services that RCI can provide timeshare owners depend upon our agreements with the resorts and clubs. In the cases of Hilton and Club Intrawest, the agreements are very specific with regard to the types of benefits available from RCI and how those benefits will be accessed. Even though this may seem limiting, it is the intention of these clubs to provide more and broader benefits to their owners. ------------------ ~ Madge IP: Logged
