Looks like RCI is padding their list. If I have to pay for an Exchange Plus then it's not a timeshare, it's a hotel. Wish there was a way to see the true number of timeshares in the RCI system and/or weed out the Exchange Plus listings when doing a search.

I'm pretty sure I was able to remove the Exchange Plus units when doing a search. When the results come up on the left there is a way to see Exchanges only.

I found I can eliminate almost all the exchange plus results by choosing the room size filter to be a 1 bedroom or larger, since nearly all Exchange Plus units are just hotel rooms. Also, looking in areas where there are no timeshare resorts such as big cities... will eliminate those results. The locations of timeshares are easy to see on the map version of the online RCI directory.
