OMG, if they delivered what they promised, it
might be a good decision. But what they give us - on paper does not match what they delivered.
1. On paper - We can book any 1 bedroom RCI unit during any season for $499 + $200 exchange fee
REALITY - OURS COST $1150 IF we wanted it. We didn't.
2 On Paper - they give us a 7 day cruise and all we pay is taxes and port fees.
The Reality - It is a limited number of weeks off season for lower inside cabin rooms and we pay an additional $400 in admin fees.
3. On Paper - they have a travel booking service that beats anything we can find on trivago, easyclicktravel, etc.
The Reality - Out of several hotels we tried to book through them, their prices were only lower in 1 instance.
4. On Paper - they agreed to cover both the resort fee and sth all inclusive fee of our first reaort stay.
The Reality - They only paid the all mandatory all inclusive resort fee.
Bottom line, had they done what they said they were doing, it would have been a good decision. RCI does have good deals for its members, but the $7995 price tag to join through My Dream Shares does not offer the value they said they were offering.
