RCI Timeshare Weeks & Points – What Owners Should Know

Many RCI members contact us because they are concerned about the ongoing cost, flexibility, and value of their timeshare ownership.

Common concerns raised by RCI owners include:

  • Maintenance and membership fees that are high and continue to increase
  • Difficulty booking the holidays they were originally promised
  • Limited availability, even when the same resorts or dates appear available to the general public
  • Pressure to upgrade to more expensive points or membership levels
  • The realisation that their timeshare cannot be sold or transferred easily

For many, the priority is simply to bring their timeshare commitments to an end and avoid further long-term costs.

Independent advice for RCI members

Cancel Our Timeshare provides independent advice and guidance to owners of timeshare weeks, points-based memberships, and other holiday ownership products. We are not connected to RCI, resorts, developers, management companies, resellers, or exchange networks.

We have assisted a large number of RCI Weeks and Points owners who were seeking clarity on their contractual position and whether there may be a legitimate route to exit long-term agreements.

Issues commonly reported by RCI owners

RCI members who contact us frequently describe:

  • Maintenance and exchange fees that rise year after year
  • Ongoing frustration with booking availability, particularly during peak periods
  • Confusion around how points can be used, carried forward, or banked
  • Pressure to upgrade without clear improvements in flexibility or value
  • Dissatisfaction that their experience no longer reflects what was presented at the point of sale

In many cases, owners simply want to understand whether their contract is enforceable and what options, if any, may be available to them.

Understanding your position

A number of court decisions and legal developments over recent years have highlighted the importance of how timeshare and points-based contracts are structured and sold. Whether these principles apply to an individual RCI-linked contract depends on factors such as when and where it was sold, the nature of the agreement, and the circumstances of the sale.

Not every contract is affected, which is why individual review is essential.

If you are an RCI member and would like independent guidance on your situation, you can request a confidential review.

Your Stories

Mr Martin C – RCI/Anfi Group

"I paid a deposit in 2007 for a fixed week in Anfi del Mar Beach club. Had to use finance for the purchase with monthly instalments. It’s a rip-off, you get sucked in with their sales pitch and scare-mongering about prices of holidays, but with maintenance fees, flights, meals and everything it works out really expensive in the end."

"This timeshare belongs to my very elderly grandmother, it expires in 2035. She is now stuck paying maintenance charges yet has not been to Club Riza for over 20 years as she is too old to travel. We have no idea how we can get rid of this liability and we do not want to be stuck with it after she dies."

Mrs Jane T , West Yorkshire - RCI Fixed Week

"Have owned timeshare at Sunset Bay for a long time, but costs of maintenance and exchange plus RCI membership continue to rise but accommodation standards do not. Now have also to pay to combine any points balance from one year to the next to have enough for required exchange. How can we get out of this?"
