Is this just weeks that RCI rents out dirt cheap or do you have to bank points/weeks with them, etc? How does it work.
You have to have an RCI weeks or Points account to view what is available but if you find something you would like to reserve, you pay only the specified price (plus about 10% tax wihich is added on during the payment process). You do not have to give up your week or use any of your available Points to book it. It is bascially a straight rental.
You are also able to rent a Last Call week and pay an extra $59. for a "guest certificate" in the name of a relative, co-worker, or friend etc... which will allow them to use the unit for the week. You are not, however, allowed to rent the week for a profit.
Sometimes close to the check-in date, very desirable weeks will become available, usually because of a last minute cancellation by the person who had previously reserved the unit, or due to a last minute deposit of the week by the owner of the unit. But it is more common for the Last Call inventory to consist of off-season weeks, or prime time weeks at a very mediocre resort.
