BLUE BAY& RCI - break our contract; We will never be able to use all our points in our life or the term of the 25year contract. Only 60,000 points per year can be transferredd to RCI and we have MILLIONS of points...RCI and BlueBay are NOT acting in good faith. Blue Bay has NOT return my any of my emails; as I wanted to transfer points to RCI; I cann't believe RCI would be into this kind of business; I would just like to either get my back from Blue Bay or Transfer ALL my Blue Bay points to RCI and be done with; Hoping someone can help;

Well I was 18 years old. I went to one of the meetings I was hammered by this sells guy and being so young I was told that I couldnt leave until I signed the contract to get me started on my free vacations. I was stuck being hammered by 4 different sales people until 11:30 ant night, they kept going at me and going at me. My friend went with me to this meeting - and in the middle of pitch she said well you just got your tax refund so that would cover your start-up well one of the sales rep listened into your so called private talk and told the manager - so he offered up more free items that I never got.

I am 27 now - that was the worse mistake that I have ever made it destroyed my credit and my life. I used it one time and it was the worse vacation in my life. I spent over 4 grand on the lowest package; I had a family emergency and needed to get to my mothers. I called up RCI to exchange my points into Flight at that time they said I could, so they set it up.

A month later I tried to set up travel again and the RCI rep said we dont do that. after I told them they did it the month before she said that must have been the special for that month. I stopped paying after that. I tried to cancel my contract the RCI rep said I couldnt until I caught up with payments, and then I would have to pay a 496.71 cancel fee. They preyed on a kid and won. I have had to over come a lot in life and this taught me a VALUABLE LESSION! Always go with your gut!

So far it has kept my credit score below 470 - despite perfect payment on school loans. I cant get a loan on a new car or a house or credit cards - I cant build my credit until this goes away - and for some reason every 3 years they open it up and leave it open for a 5 years as delinquent. I cant claim bankruptcy because I dont have enough debit! Because I cant get any debt to mess up on! Talk about FRUSTRATING! I cant get married either because it will destroy my boyfriends credit to! If you are looking to get a timeshare DONT! It is a waste of time and MONEY! The average vacation for a couple 1 time a year is 700 at a major city with a 5 star hotel! 800 for a all-inclusive vacation in Mexico on the BEACH!

RCI's main objective is to capture your weeks so they can make a commission on a trade. Their next objective is to charge you constantly increasing fees. Now they CHARGE your credit card for an exchange search. They will also call you until you go crazy about special offers. Oh, and you pay a yearly membership fee for this.

i was given a coupon for a free week, to use any where within 12 months. filled out coupon, sent it in with a fifthy dollar returnable deposit, only to have it rejected because no one that did the sales pitch to me, filled in the date of the sales interview, but they cashed my check no problem for my deposit.

my vacation plans are fouled up because i chose a certain week off from work to go to west virginia, when my kids are off from school, and i cant change that week because the company wont alough it

We purchased a time share in Cancun 2006, we have paid out of pocket over 10,000.00 and to date have received little to no services. I had my niece use the accomodations and they were so bad she had to check out and get a hotel. Also their sales reps use alcohol to get their prospective targets drunk to complete their scams.

I have refused to pay the past two months payments of 447.96 a month and will not pay the maintance fee of 800.00 which is due in March as this is definitely a scam.
