      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      1. Membership Purchase: I purchased an RCI membership approx June 2022 through the Global Exchange Vacation Club (GEVC) for over $6,680.00. I was promised platinum status with ****** points per year, plus confirmed bookings if done 2-3 months in advance.2. Usage Attempts: Since acquiring the membership, I have only been given ****** points not ****** as promised. I also tried multiple times to book accommodations. Despite attempting to book as far as seven months in advance, I have never found any available dates. The said company promised I would have no problem extending available points.3. Points Expiry and Additional Charges: My points are due to expire soon for the year 2023. RCI is demanding an additional $110 to extend these points, which I find unacceptable given my inability to utilize the service as promised. Sometimes I'm on hold for over 57 minutes. As a nurse, I only get a 30-minute meal break.4. Communication Attempts: I have contacted RCI and Global Exchange Vacation Club (GEVC) multiple times to address these issues, but the responses have been unhelpful and dismissive. Additionally, I have experienced significant difficulties in reaching anyone for assistance with bookings or to have my questions answered.5. Pricing Discrepancies: When I look at a place to visit, such as ******, and try to book a particular hotel through GEVC for 3 days, RCI charges me $2,200. However, if I go directly to that same hotel in ******, I am charged approximately $172 per night. This is clearly a scam.6. Desired Resolution: I am seeking to terminate my membership with RCI and Global Exchange Vacation Club without incurring any further costs. Additionally, I request a full refund of the membership fees paid, as I have not been able to use the service at all. Please heed my words, and do not fall into this TRAP!

      I suggest to never go with this crapshoot company they use the sales people to push you in to signing a contract by giving all expense paid vacations that you never get. When you pay for it for a full year and never use it they call you to do an upgrade pushing you by saying that it is better and more improved as they added hotels and by using there site to book the hotel you get the best rate there is. Nope you dont and they hotels are the shittiest hotels out there. When you want to cancel due to financial hard ships from a family member passing, vehicle being totaled and unexpected medical bills they say nope you have to pay ******* to get out of something you never used and I know they arent out that much for just holding a contract that was never used. I repeat DONT DO IT!!!
