RCI Exchange
Perhaps the most familiar name in the timeshare industry, the service is most famous for is timeshare exchange. This enables owners who wish to holiday in different locations around the world to swap their annual allocation of timeshare for another destination and even at a different time of year. With over 40 years experience of delivering timeshare exchange holidays, RCI is the largest timeshare exchange organisation in the world.
Timeshare owners participating in the RCI exchange system can deposit or bank a week of timeshare they own from a particular year and then exchange this to holiday at another RCI resort (subject to availability). With over 3.5 million member families using RCI services every year, RCI has over 4,000 affiliated timeshare resorts spread across more than 100 countries.
In addition to the exchange service, RCI members can also book additional holidays and late deals at timeshare resorts around the world.
There are two main types of RCI membership. RCI Weeks and RCI Points.
RCI Weeks are for owners of fixed or floating timeshare weeks. If an owner wished to holiday somewhere other than the resort at which they owned their timeshare then the use of RCI Weeks would be to deposit their week from a particular years allocation so that it becomes available for use by another RCI member.
This deposited week is then assigned with a trading value based upon its size, time of year, supply and demand which determines what the owner can exchange it for at another resort, in another country at an alternative time of year of their choosing.
RCI Points are another popular form of RCI Membership in which timeshare owners purchase an allocation of points rather than a specific week at a certain resort. The RCI points product can be seen as a timeshare holiday currency which can be used to book annual holidays through the RCI website.
For Example: A timeshare owner with 50,000 points could use this allocation to book two separate holidays in any particular year or save these points over two years to book a holiday of a lifetime for 100,000 points at a larger choice of RCI resorts.
If you are interested in purchasing RCI points you may be interested in eXpectations Holidays which provides its members to access to the RCI Points system as well as other holiday booking portals.
