The following experience was shared via a reader of our website, and is an account of both their stay at the Luxor hotel and their timeshare presentation at the Grandview Las Vegas
Our experience was a total joke. This must be the most unprofessional bunch of Dorsal Fins we have ever met.
Here is my letter/email to the Luxor informing them that Grand View is totally running them down when they are using this location to promote their product.
Still waiting to hear if the Luxor took any action. We did make a joke of it and laughed in their face all the way through the presentation.
If you have the pleasure of meeting the Plastic Fantastic Antoinette from RCI remind her what a b**** she is as I did. That was totally worth the 4 hours of the most disorganised tour ever – this was September 2011.

Here’s a short message from a contributor to our website, which was sent to us via the Submit Your Timeshare Experience form.
“RCI is another crook in a long list of crooks in the Timeshare industry. They colluded with the Mayan Group, who lied about being able to sell one of our timeshares. We were told that if we would agree to purchase a Mayan timeshare (that was not worth near what they said it was) we would be rid of our timeshare. What was not explained to us was that we had to use RCI credit to make the purchase.
Then RCI credit duped us by increasing the interest rate prematurely from what they said in previous conversations. The RCI point system looks like it will be disappointing to us to the point that we are planning not to renew. What really is disappointing is that all this stealing is done from behind legal jargon.”

Timeshare resale agents operate the same way as a real estate agent – they get paid only when you sell your property. A legitimate timeshare resales agent will charge a commission after the sale is finalized and take a fee out of the net proceeds from the transaction (which helps to explain why there are very few timeshare resale agents in the business right now with timeshares selling so low). Also keep in mind – there are never any upfront fees or advertising costs to be paid by the seller in this type of timeshare sale.

There are many people out there that have succumb to the high pressure sales tactics and fuzzy math used by timeshare salespeople. If you are too late to take advantage of the timeshare rescission period (a period after a timeshare sale is complete during which the purchaser has the ability to “return” the timeshare usually lasting 10 days – read Timeshare Rescission, Can I Return My Timeshare?), and are really interested in making your timeshare an asset, here are a few important things to keep in mind.

If you were unfortunate enough to buy timeshare as a result of high pressure sales techniques or misrepresentation of information you do have options. Even though you have signed a legally binding contract there are protections in place for timeshare buyers that change their minds during the “cooling off” period that follows a sale. An unhappy or misdirected timeshare buyer should be able to file for a rescission of timeshare property purchased given that the following 10 steps are followed:
