A website has been created – RCI Class Action Lawsuit – to help inform consumers regarding the latest RCI settlement proposal, and effectively spread the word on exactly what RCI is proposing. The site is an excellent source for information for all RCI Weeks members (both past and present week owners) looking to decode the complicated legal jargon RCI is pressing to have passed through the court system. I urge all weeks members to visit the site and carefully digest all of the facts presented, and make an educated decision on whether or not to accept or reject the settlement. This suit is time-sensitive and if you are an objector you must act before November 20, 2009.

Make sure you know exactly what your timeshare includes, so you can utilize the time to its fullest potential – rest assured that RCI will not go out of their way to remind you of any bonus time you have left over. Once you know what kind of time you are working with, you can explore the many ways RCI has for members to utilize extra weeks or points they may have accrued.

RCI members have access to a variety of different extra vacation offers, including the ability to purchase airfare directly through them. This is not always pointed out at timeshare presentations and will most likely not be listed on a standard list of ‘timeshare benefits’, but the ability to book flights directly through RCI should not be overlooked. Since RCI is booking hundreds of flights a day (and most likely has partnerships with a few of the leading airlines), they are able to pass on the savings of buying in bulk to RCI members.

The two most common types of timeshare ownership are “deed and title ownership” and “right to use ownership“. “Deed and title ownership” usually refers to timeshares where use of the timeshare resort is divided up in weeks. The fractional owner of any set week in deed and title ownership has rights to that real property and can use the week, rent the week, give it away, or leave it to their heirs. “Right to use ownership” is a type of contract, not an actual deed, and the timeshare owner has the right to use the property in accordance with the contract for a specific number of years. Both deed and title ownership and right to use are found in vacation clubs and points programs.
