Hello

I'm trying to know availability and prices of rci resorts (without book) but i haven't a membership.

Maybe someone can share me his credentials to see that information. I'm not interested in booking, because i use another engine to book with my own credentials, but it would be perfect if can compare before buy.

Also if the price is better, i prefer to have my own credentials or share the cost with someone.

Just let me know if you want and can help me

I'm not sure what you are really asking. RCI is an exchange company and you have to have something to exchange. The "price" or cost is in terms of trading credits; either RCI points or TPU (Trading Power Units). But these two (different) "currencies" are not immediately tied to a dollar amount. The underlying cost is the purchase price and ongoing maintenance fees of the unit you own and are exchanging. Probably you know all this. If you just want to look at RCI resorts and see what it would cost to rent units without owning an RCI resort, go to tripbeat.com where you can rent a week (usually not a prime week) at many RCI resorts. (used to be called Endless Vacation) Sorry if I have missed the point of your question.

Thank you a lot for your answer and references. I'll take a look of the links provided, and no, i don't really now how it works. I suppose i could see the price of the week as that. Can you put a screenshot of the availabity list of cancun mexico, just to understand? Thank you.

Regarding your first request: If someone gave you their password and let you log into their RCI account, it would give you complete access and control over their account, so that would not be a prudent thing to do.

We have a forum called Sightings and Distressed for this type of request, but it's a member's only forum. For the low cost of a $15 TUG membership you will have access to the forum and and be able to post a "Sightings Request."

That being said, I don't know how helpful a Sighting will be, because the online inventory is just the "leftovers" after all the ongoing requests have been filled. An ongoing request is like waitlisting, and it happens behind the scenes. The best inventory is snagged with an ongoing request, and never appears online.

tripbeat.com is an open, public website with no login required. Note, that while weeks in Cancun show as starting at $299/week that is only for the room. Most will also have a mandatory "All Inclusive" (AI) fee calculated per person, per night. Be sure to read the entire resort information to find the AI requirements.

I don't know what you are talking about and what your objective is. Do you own a timeshare? Do you WANT to own a timeshare? Do you want to rent a timeshare?

The guest stated in their profile Resort Owned: RCI.

...but then promptly indicated having no RCI membership or access, requesting RCI account access from others.
Of course, no one would ever provide password / direct access to their RCI account to someone they don't know.

I for one really have no idea at all what jechaviz is actually seeking to accomplish. :shrug:

After re-reading his first post I believe he may be a prospective buyer of RCI and he is looking for some independent verification of resorts and availability.

but it would be perfect if can compare before buy.

Beyond that I don't really think he has a clue what he is talking about or how TS really work. at least not with RCI.

I think the OP thinks RCI is just another booking engine, like Tripbeat, or Trivago, or hotel.com, or whatever else.
