We did use RCI points for airfare and were able to borrow from a
future year after paying membership fees. Ultimately it only covered
about 1/2 the full price fare we would have paid, so once membership
fees were paid it probably didn't save us anything at all on the
flight.

And that is my issue exactly! I upgraded to Platinum so that I could
use more points and borrow from next year's use balance. I am being
told that I can not borrow from my next year's use and I know I have
before. I have never had an issue with RCI until now.

My husband and I have been thinking that RCI was "renting" out OUR
exchange weeks for a long time, and pocketing the money, which is why
they never seem to have any exchange inventory, just RENTALS! It's
nice to know that someone else finally figured this out. That being
said, it's SO not worth the time to join the lawsuit and make a few
lawyers rich, IMO. For $12, I have better things to do. As you can
probably tell, I'm not a huge fan of RCI. By the time they've hit you
with all of their myriad fees, you just really don't save any money.
