You Are Correct, Sir.
The thing is, though, that some of the haters out there are distinguished & otherwise knowledgeable TUG-BBS participants with such strong & deep-seated feelings on the subject that simply to mention what it says in the fine print of RCI's terms & conditions for timeshare deposits is to get yourself lumped willy-nilly into the RCI Can Do No Wrong crowd.
As for us, we're basically OK with RCI, flaws & all, otherwise we wouldn't keep using it -- even though we'd like RCI better if its fees & dues were lower & if fewer of its el primo deposits got shunted off to the rental market.
One RCI feature we specially like is Raiding The Weeks Inventory via RCI Points, particularly Instant Exchange for no more than 9,000 points + exchange fee. Never mind that the Instant Exchange offerings are mostly the off-season dogs & cats. And pay no attention to the fact that points raids made using points from PFD aren't so much actual Weeks Inventory Raids as they are straight-weeks reservations that happened to take a procedural detour into & then back out of the points system. Some raid.
You typed a mouthful there.I do not deny rci rents some member deposited units, its the scale some of the RCI Haters on here that would have you believe that I find insulting to anyone who has more then 2 active brain cells.
