RCI Points Demystified

(Apex Professionals LLC) April 4, 2009 — Resort Condominiums International (RCI) runs a timeshare points travel exchange program called RCI Points, which allows members to take vacations in more than 3,700 resorts in more than 100 countries, around the world. Founded in 1974, RCI has more than three million members.

RCI Points are accrued through timeshare ownership of an RCI-affiliated resort. This system has attempted to increase flexibility for timeshare owners for their vacations with this in-network currency. It is a great idea to fill unused capacity by linking the entire RCI network together.

RCI resorts have been categorized as either Gold or Silver Crown; the seasons have been divided up in red, white or blue sectors. RCI point values have been established for all RCI resorts. RCI Points can be used for different sized units and time ranges for many different recreational activities (casino gaming, beaches, golf clubs, health spas, water sports and snow skiing).

The RCI Points Partner program permits redemption at airlines, car rental companies and hotels. In order to use the RCI Points, they must be deposited with RCI when setting up the reservation. Call the RCI Points toll-free number to redeem. Non-members can purchase RCI timeshare resales from RCI Points brokers.

While RCI Points seems to have addressed some challenges in owning timeshares, they still haven’t solved the core problems. Timeshare owners who are having difficulty selling their timeshare should turn to professionals like Apex Professionals to sell their timeshares.

Dave Ramsey has discussed the torture and imprisonment that many timeshare owners feel. Dave Ramsey said that a timeshare is not an “investment” because people “can’t get rid of them”. Timeshare owners are “just stuck”. He even criticizes the entire “timeshare model”, calling it foolishly “prepaying for a vacation”.

Usually, timeshares take valuable property and divide it up (establishing communal rules) for all involved. Sometimes, the rules benefits some at the expense of others. Most timeshare owners expect to use the place for two or three weeks, then lease it out for the rest of the year. A manager is expected to maintain the property for the owner.

Apex Professionals LLC knows that people may not have much say in the management of the timeshare after purchase. Management changes, maintenance fees increase, facilities deteriorate and new “hot” tourist spots emerge – Apex Professionals can help timeshare owners unload their timeshares.

Apex Professionals LLC knows that increasing maintenance fees can quickly drain financial resources, while the property’s value is decreasing. Most vacationers want to stay at “new, well-maintained resorts”, not “old, dilapidated timeshares”.

Lifestyles change and people may not want to spend two or three weeks at the timeshare, anymore. Apex Professionals are experts in the timeshare market. They know that timeshare resale is difficult, due to oversupply. Apex Professionals LLC saves dissatisfied timeshare owners from increasing high-interest mortgages with instant title transfer.

Furthermore, Apex Professionals LLC realizes that some “deeded” timeshares can be inherited by parties who want to liquidate this asset. Apex Professionals are in the business of relieving the timeshare owners of this asset. Apex Professionals is not a timeshare reseller or listing company. Apex Professionals LLC is in the business of providing viable solutions for overburdened timeshare owners, helping you escape “perpetuity clauses”.

Apex Professionals LLC is in the business of rescuing timeshare owners, providing freedom from a lifetime burden of timeshares that no one wants to buy. Not even RCI Points can change the financial burden that many timeshares have become. Turn to Apex Professionals when you want to be free of your timeshare burden.
