Palm Beach Resort Annual Red RCI/II Florida Timeshare

Q: This would be the first time purchasing a time share. I had a trial membership for 2 years with Celebrity Resorts in Florida, which gave us access to RCI, with 40,000 points for two years. We used the last call on several occasions, and are looking for a way to again get access to RCI. With buying this auction, would I be part of the RCI? What costs are involved? Is there any difference in using the Last Call with points, vs weeks, or do both have the same access to last call.

A: We do have RCI points timeshares available also. This particular timeshare has the ability to join RCI or II or both. Each exchange company has its own fees. RCI is $124 annually. Yes you can use last call I do not know if there is any difference between RCI points last call or RCI weeks last call. You can verify that with RCI. I would imagine not. Another option to consider is buying at Wyndham Resorts as they are owned by the same company as RCI. Because of this relationship between Wyndham and RCI your RCI membership is included in the maintenance fee. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.

126,000 Wyndham Points Annual South Carolina Timeshare

Q: Will I be able to use the points this year 2010.

A: I am going to try to explain this the best way I can. These points are considered 2011 use. However the use of these points begin in April 2010. I am not really sure why the points at Wyndham are done this way. The year the points end in is the year they consider the usage. I hope this helps explain it.

8,000 Bluegreen Points Falls Branson Missouri Timeshare

Q: Do you have to wait until 2012 to get any points if you purchase this auction or do you get some points to use before then?


A: You get your first use in 2012. That is correct. You can borrow from the next year, but that means that you will have that much less points to use the next year. We do have other deals with points that begin before that. Check out our other auctions or tell me exactly what you are looking for and I am more than happy to provide you with links to auctions that suit your needs.

item #220546404024 - Disney Florida 84,000 RCI Points Odd Years Timeshare

Q:

You are misrepresenting the maintenance fees. They are approx 950 dollars and have been for years.

A:

We send a paper to the administrative office of the resort. The paper is called an estoppels. This paper is filled out by the resort with the information such as maintenance fee amounts, what is owned, if there is anything owed and so forth. I have the paper on file stating that the maintenance fees we have listed are the correct fees. These fees are charged annually. The use on this particular unit is biennial. That being said the total amount for one years use is $942.74.

Thank you for your interest,
