How does my vacation ownership work in coordination with an exchange company like RCI?

When you become a Vacation Owner, your home resort is yours to use during your assigned ownership time. Your ownership also makes you part of a network of people who are passionate about vacation. During those times when you’d like more than one vacation, or when you want to travel to another destination or during a different time, RCI can connect you to an exchange network of travelers like you who are also looking to exchange their assigned vacation time.

Why should I choose RCI as my timeshare exchange company?

We are the first to admit that the timeshare exchange industry is more competitive today than ever before! That’s why we strive to be the first to launch ground-breaking technology advancements, innovative new products, and enhanced membership benefits. In the last 35 years, we have learned what vacation owners like you want and need from your exchange company. We can, and will continue to, surpass the competition by following through on our promise to bring you the most value for your membership.

Below is a brief description of just a few of the membership benefits included with an RCI Points membership:
Exchange – An RCI exchange vacation is the result of exchanging your Points for a vacation at another RCI Points affiliated resort As an RCI Points member, you have the flexibility to select from thousands of resorts*, and you can select the accommodation type and length of stay that best suits your needs. We also offer additional tools for you to further personalize your exchange: Borrow, Save, Extend and Rent Points – With the RCI Points program you can combine your annual Points allocation over multiple years to give you even more exchange options. You can even “rent” additional Points if you need to boost your Point balance to get the vacation you want! Add Vacation Protection – This exclusive member-only offer provides you with the flexibility to change or cancel your vacation! Add a Guest Certificate – Are you looking for the perfect gift for your friends or family this year? Consider giving them the gift of vacation with an RCI Guest Certificate. RCI Platinum® membership – Choose to upgrade to RCI Platinum membership and enjoy even more flexibility!

An Extra Vacations getaway gives you access to the timeshare resort vacation experience you’ve come to expect, without exchanging your Points. You can purchase a week (or more) at the available destination of your choice, and you can choose from thousands of options. Why limit yourself to just one vacation when you have UNLIMITED access to Extra Vacations getaway weeks? Best Price Guarantee – We guarantee that our Extra Vacations getaway prices are the best available! If you find a better price elsewhere, we’ll refund you the difference. Add a Guest Certificate – As mentioned above, an RCI Guest Certificate allows you to give the gift of vacation to your friends and family – whether it’s an exchange vacation or an Extra Vacations getaway! Last CallSM Vacations – A Last Call vacation is similar to an Extra Vacation getaway, but offers even more value! As with Extra Vacations getaways, you don’t have to exchange your Points.

Also available for Last Call vacations: Guest Certificates are also available for Last Call vacations.
