looking about buying a timeshare. got the info about a few timeshares - but which is better--- interval international or rci ? what is current timeshare owners opinion?
I learned about buying resale and would like advice about any disadvantages vs buying timeshares now on resale or buy from resort and also interval international or RCI - - which is best to exchange or trade timeshare ? ? xavier

They both have some great timeshare resorts, but I favor Interval Int'l. It is good that you are considering this before buying timeshare. Most do not think about this part until after they get the timeshare and it is time to exchange it.

only worked with interval, so gotta give it to them and know some have reported rci probs with timeshare trades. we have a disney resort that gets us what we want.

Actually, most timeshare folks, myself included, that I have spoken with in person or throughout the few timeshare forums on the web seem to favor RCI as far as ease of timeshare exchange. Interval may have more high demand timeshares like DVC(until Jan. '09) & Marriott, but they are tough to get many times.

here's the one thing i have learned to increase the positive use of rci and the chances of getting what you want/better trading power: deposit your week as early as possible! the earlier you deposit your timeshare for exchange the more opportunities you will have for an equal exchange!

Disney has joined forces with RCI time share exchanges. Does this change anyone's opinion on whom the better exchange company is? DVC is very nice especially if you have kids like I do.
