So, we are new to TS's and bought stupidly from the developer and were sold the salespitch. Anyways, we have what we have and are trying to make the best of it. We own 21,900 points and have a maint. fee of $657 every other year. So, the problem is we want to vacation the end of April but only 1 resort showed up as being available and they want a $50 housekeeping fee. So I went to book and then saw the RCI Exchange Fee of $79. What?? None of this was mentioned from the salesperson (or the yearly suscription fee!). So were would already be out $129.00. This is for a 1 bedroom with no kitchen on Cape Cod.
I went online and for the same resort I can get a townhouse unit for only $88/night with no housekeeping fee. So, it seems almost silly to use the 10,250 points they want from RCI (half my points!)for something that would only cost me $289 to begin with.
It seems RCI is only good for long 7 day vacations..we had hoped to vacation twice a year for a few days at a time so as not to take time off work. Any suggestions as to how best use our points and limit fees to get short vacations? Or should we just plan to have a long 7 day one?
