RCI is an exchange company. It does not sell timeshares. Do you perhaps mean that you bought a timeshare at a resort that's affiliated with RCI? If you've just bought a timeshare, are unsure about your purchase, and still have time to rescind, then I strongly recommend you follow the instructions for rescinding exactly as shown in your contract.
Those instructions may be cleverly hidden or in very small print. But by law, they must be there in your contract. Look very carefully and thoroughly for them.
Then, follow the instructions exactly as outlined including how and where to send your rescission letter. Somehow this sounds a little like the PRL scam. They use RCI's name to sell a wothless timeshares and then disappear after making all kinds of promises. I agree with Lance. Better to err on the side of caution. If it is a ligitimate company they will always let you buy back in if you change your mind. If it's a scam you just saved thousands of dollars.
One rule of thumb is to never buy from the developer as you can get the exact same deal for pennies on the dollar via resale. You need to cancel ASAP It doesn't have to be anything other than a note stating " I changed my mind, please cancel my contract".
It's the post mark that counts not when they received it. RCI has a points system but they also have a weeks system. My only complaint is that they don't have enough resorts in cities and too many "country" resorts but other than that I have had very positive experiences. I have been with rci for years, now have the opportunity to switch to interval. I prefer staying in cities and love European and US travel. What do you recommend I do? I recommend you check each exchange company's website for its respective inventory and resort affiliations and then decide which of the two has resorts more to your liking.
These companies lie to you about anything to get your deed away from you. You have trouble booking anything and they stay overbooked.
They think we are idiots. Go online and look. A few of the most common links here on the forums for newbies and guests! JavaScript is disabled.

Interval International vs RCI, cost of membership, ease of use, resort inventory, extra fees when trading, does one standout in value? Or is there a thread where this is already discussed?
This probably depends very much on what you own and how it is valued in each systemand for that matter whether you even own something that is dual-enrolled, because not everything is. It also depends on what you are looking for. Overall Interval might have more higher quality resorts and slightly lower fees and slightly less likely to have resort fees, but I find less summer availability at resorts within miles from where I live.
So even if it is an older resort with slightly higher fees it is worth it to me if I can book through RCI. But I also agree if you already own something even if it is dual affiliated the trading power in one system might be much better in one vs the other. Joined Mar 24, Messages 5, Reaction score 3, Points Pick your top resorts and see if they fall mostly on one exchange company or another.
Once you know that, you can research the best traders for the system you may favor. The cost is relative to the traders you have and you can get good advice with that on this site. To me, if you want higher end resorts and larger units, more flexibility with changing your reservation Eplus you go with Interval. If you do not necesarily need a large unit, you are not very picky on the quality of the resorts not that there are not some nice resorts in RCI , want more locations, want the flexibility to book shorter or longer stays than 7 nights, may appreciate the last minute discounted exchanges, have a lower entry budget, RCI could be your pick.
It also depends where you live and where you want to go. DannyTS said:. RCI could be your pick. This is a way to see some things that may have been filtered out of your first search. Just like Interval does, this will filter out the items that require more trading power than what you have.
The logic is that they do not want people to be disappointed by depositing a wonderful high-value timeshare, and then discovering that they have exchanged it for something worth much less. RCI has no equivalent filter. Even if your deposit is worth 52 trading power, you can still see exchange weeks worth just 4. Some timeshare companies on II notably Marriott and Starwood have a company priority.
When a Marriott unit is deposited, for example, there is a time period where it will only be displayed for people exchanging other Marriotts. Only once it passes that period will it appear for everybody else who is searching for exchanges. Interval International filters everything for you , whether you want them to or not. Their goal is to show you only the best exchanges for you.
This could be a good approach for some people, since it is simple for the user. RCI has a different approach , with greater transparency. They show you everything, and leave it up to you to figure out what you want and can get. This is the approach that I prefer, since I like having all the information, and making my own decisions.
What do you think about the different ways that they filter your search results? Which do you prefer? With II can you exchange 2 of your weeks in different seasons for 1 nice week somewhere else or 2 weeks at one time, or is it straight exchange week for week? Hi Lori — With II, there is no way to add two of your deposits together to get 1 nicer week somewhere else. You could exchange your 2 weeks in different seasons for 2 weeks at one time, but just by using a week-for-week exchange.
Good luck with it! This way you can buy up. We have one unit that is worth 60 points and often are able to get three or more trades with it. That ability to combine trading power from more than one deposit, or to split one valuable deposit to get multiple vacations with it, is a great feature of RCI.
We currently own one week in a timeshare in Vegas, and trade through II. Hi Chrystal — Thanks for your comment. That is an excellent question! Of course you want to know how much value you could get in a different system before you make the switch. If you have an RCI account, then you can definitely look up how much your resort would be worth. You could then do some sample searches for exchanges to see how that compares with the trading power required for exchange vacations you might want.
I own 4 weeks of timeshare long time owner and RCI Member. I am very educated how the systems work and happy to help you. How do I get in touch with you directly? Deanna, Can you please put Crystal in touch with me? They can contact me directly on my email and then we can get in touch personally via phone. Hi Wendy — Thanks for your message! Thanks again! Hi Rick — Thanks for your comment. However, you do have to pay for 2 memberships this way, so you need to use it enough to make that worthwhile.
Hi, was just a little confused normal I think. We own rci and II. II seems so easy to use. We have a 1 bedroom that we can trade with anything that comes up on II weather it is bedrooms.
Super easy. Been trading from Az to Hawaii for years. We own Hilton with that one. Hi Katy — Thanks for your comment!
Whatever you can see, you can book. The trade-off is that though this may be more confusing, it provides more information. Some people may prefer one way, other people the other. Happy timesharing! I own a timeshare in Orlando ,interval is soon easy a they trade rooms soon easy. Hi Katy — Thanks for your comment, and good luck getting the vacations you want!
I know very intricately how interval international works and I like their method. With Interval: You have one exchange fee price, you can book lower quality than your own unit and it does show up in searches if they are available, and you can book higher quality than your own unit, and it also shows up in searches if they are available. Not sure where you got your information from.
Naturally, it does not have quite the same buying power as a deposit that was just done. You can also take your week with II and change it to 2 shorter weeks days long if you are a Gold or Platinum member. You can also buy Getaways at discounted prices.
