Hi
Just joined TUG after sitting through a HGVC presentation - luckily, because of learning about TUG a few years ago, I was already aware of the Resale market and have managed to avoid getting burned in the past...
Currently doing my research on buying HGVC resale.
In reviewing the [Marketplace] area, I have come across a couple of ads just selling RCI points that are valid for a certain time period.
Can someone please help me understand how this works ?
1. How would I be able to use these points if I am not yet a member of RCI (looked at their site and looks like you can only become a member, IF you already own a TS) ?
2. Is this kind of purchase advisable - are there any caveats/restrictions I would need to be aware of ?
3. What fees would be involved in making a booking through RCI (assuming there was a way to do so) ?
Thanks
Mike
