Read one owner’s experience with buying a Sedpma Pines Timeshare:
When I bought my time share at Sedpma Pines, RCI assured me that availability was not a problem because only members of the program can access the timeshares. I have since learned that availability is a serious problem, RCI engages in the practice of skimming a large percentage of the timeshares from the system, including many prime timeshares, and renting them to the general public at a profit to RCI, or selling them to vendors who then rent them to the general public.
As a result, no matter how meticulously one follows RCI’s rules and procedures, and no matter how far in advance one begins looking for a desirable exchange, one simply cannot find available destinations.
Since RCI does not allow extending points into the following year without a $99.00 payment one is forced to either forfeit the points or pay an additional $99.00.
Have you had similar difficulty exchanging this particular timeshare or another timeshare location? Let us know in the comments below!

Below you will find the terms and conditions of the settlement benefits in their latest form, which are subject to change. I will keep this post updated regarding any changes or development in the settlement, and what exactly this could mean for RCI members.
