However, I strongly agree that this is a lot of expense to walk into intentionally by buying at a resort you don't want to use. You pay the external exchange fee to the exchange company. It has nothing to do with what the resort gets from you in maintenance fees. As Patti says, use it or rent it. Don't complain because you can't swap a frog for a prince. MDoh...and the only reason "millions and millions of people would walk away from their maintenance fee"if I am right....is MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE NOT GETTING THE VALUE THEY WERE PROMISED for their investment. Obviously by your own statement you agree that there are alot of unhappy timeshare owners out there. Rightly so...it is a scam. Think about it...you pay $500 maintenace fee for 1 WEEK. How many of us have property that costs $500/week to maintain. So...lets say you bank this property.. then you find out you can't get an exchange. Your week will expire in 2 years...but you can't find an exchange, so you book your own resort (if you can)...but you pay an exchange fee of $200. So your week just cost you $700, and it isn't even where you want to go! This is why they really want you to bank the property...immediately the cost to you of using the week rises by almost 50%. If you don't want to walk away, AND you are not having any luck on exchanges, I suggest you stop paying RCI fees, stop banking your week...and either rent the week you bought, or use it.
