Re: Exchange companies.

I definitely agree that anything having to do with RCI exchanges has skyrocketed in fees in the last several years. Before 2000 exchanging was a viable option (cost wise) until they continued to raise their rates yearly. With the cost of maintenance fees also rising yearly, RCI has outpriced many timeshare owners. That's probably one reason you see thousands of timeshares for sale and for rent on the internet. P.S. I don't know about II (Interval International) .... I haven't checked their website lately to see how much (if any) their fees have risen. We formerly belonged to both of the big exchange companies before we saw the handwriting on the wall and sold ALL of our timeshares. Now we rent from the hundreds of rental sites on the internet or take advantage of www.skyauction.com and similar sites.
