Jun 10, 2021. #1. Has anyone else received a phone call to purchase the extra weeks through RCI. We'd purchase the weeks and then they would buy them at a good profit to us. He said we could buy up to 6 weeks per year. Basically paying $2,600 total of the 6 weeks and selling them to him for $10,000 total. Any help to determine if this is a SCAM ...
Location. S. CA. Sep 1, 2022. #1. Hi, I got a call from Show vacation rentals offers to rent RCI GATEWAY WEEKS. They said they need a lot of rentals for November in Orlando Shows. They said RCI are welcome these rental because they can get those renters to go to the presentation. All I have to do is activated the rental contract fee for $399/week.
These entities may offer to assist in the sale or rental of Owners' timeshare interests for an upfront fee (e.g. offering rental services for Owners' "Getaway Weeks" or "Bonus Weeks" for an up-front fee), or they may invite an Owner to attend an informational "RCI Update meeting" to discuss updates to RCI exchange programs.
RCI and II both prohibit you renting out getaway weeks. This company is lying to scam you out of money. Looking at their website, they appear to be an advertising/listing company for owners to sell or rent their weeks.
Sep 26, 2024. #6. We've owned since 2002 and have been getting these scam calls and other timeshare scam calls for years. YEARS! As long as the scammers continue to sell the lists of owners phone numbers to other scammers it will never end. These mythical extra weeks they claim you get don't even exist. END THE CALL!
I think the pitch is that they want the timeshare owner to pay THEM the $399 RCI fee. $399 X 12 is $4788. THAT is their "upfront" fee. They will then "rent" the weeks and send the owner $1000 for each week. The owner supposedly stands to NET a $7200 profit for the 12 total weeks. Of course that only happens in fairyland.
Aug 04, 2013. RCI does not allow members to rent out or sell Extra Vacation Getaway Weeks. Those weeks are usually weeks that owners at various resorts deposited for exchange and no RCI members have claimed these weeks for exchange. Likely these weeks that you have you have to pay a small fee to use.
Westin Nanea. Feb 24, 2021. #1. I received a call from Interval International asking if we are using our "getaway" weeks this year. They are asking us to pay $399 per week (4 weeks total) in exchange for renting those weeks at a rate of $1,800 to $2,100 per week. Seems like a no-brainer, so immediately I had my doubts.
This scam is still running. 2023 - I was offered $1400 for each of the 6 "bonus weeks" that I am allowed to get through RCI. Darryl said he would just need for me to pay the $399 reservation fee x 6 weeks =$2395 to him!!!
Its not fair to the 3.5 Million RCI members who were promised an "exclusive" program for Timeshare owners only. Then RCI simply created white labeled websites like TripBeat and give similar services for FREE. I'll tell you why they do it. RCI is not very efficient at renting all its weeks, so it must look for other sources to make a few extra ...
