In follow up to my recent article “You May be Entitled to a Payment from a Class Action Settlement About the RCI Points Exchange Program” and in response to the many inquiries about who is eligible to file and how to get claim forms, following you will find very useful information.

I have been informed that a settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit that claims that RCI, LLC violated certain consumer protection and other laws by renting timeshare inventory deposited by members of the RCI Points Exchange Program – to which RCI denies it did anything wrong.

Two of the questions being asked are:

Am I included?   You are included if you

(1) Are a resident of the U.S. or its territories, and

(2) Were a member of the RCI Points Exchange Program on or before April 25, 2012.  If you received a postcard that was addressed to you, you are included in the Settlement unless you exclude yourself.

What can I get?

If the Settlement is approved, Settlement Class Members who submit Claim Forms may receive a payment. Current members may get $12 and former members may get $10. Claim Forms are due by August 24, 2012.

The Court will hold a hearing on November 1, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. to consider whether to approve the Settlement and a request for attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses in the amount of $835,000.00 .
