I am looking at Escapes Galveston, Texas and I think they are part of RCI.

They are on a point system but appears to be a different menu then DVC?

Going to briefly get some info but not doing a presentation as I don't feel like spending the time and I am pretty sure if I am interested in buying Resale would probably be cheaper.

Anyone know anything about them are Escapes in general or can offer any advice.
 
Resale is definately cheaper - try the TUGS site for info. They have a forum you can ask questions and lots of useful info. Redweek is another good source.
 
Escapes is the old Coopershares executive retreat system. I've seen a couple of the Escapes resorts and they are pretty nice, not to the level of DVC or Marriott's though. I don't have pricing info and haven't paid attention to resales. Just spend enough time so you know exactly what you're getting including any negatives to resale. If you want to exchange it, make sure you understand that as well. For exchanging I prefer II for most option (but not everything) and I'm pretty sure that all of the resorts for Excapes other than maybe the Yacht Club are in II. But what I don't know is if new members can use II or if the club pays dues for either system or if there are any other restrictions. Definitely ask on TUG.
 
Thanks all.

It looks like I have a lot of reading ahead of me.

Just when I thought I had DVC figured out here comes something else.
