I've become pretty adept at finding deals and travel hacking (we fly to Europe nearly for free 1-2x a year), so I'm not concerned about the costs to travel shooting up when I sell my timeshares. Airbnb wasn't a thing during the 2007-2009 recession. I suspect it will be even more of a thing in the next downturn, as more people will try to supplement their incomes that way. If it weren't for the fee gouging, I think most of us would be happier. RCI HAS to be well aware they're losing people due to the increases, but it becomes a bad cycle: you raise fees and lose people, so your revenue goes down, so you raise fees again, and then lose more people...the process perpetuates until you go bankrupt. I saw it happen at a swim and tennis club we belonged to as a kid. Once the value proposition is gone, so is your customer base and then your business. RCI is going to price themselves out of business.
It gives me something to think about.
