Ownership and exchanges
RCI exchanges: check membership, value and availability
RCI has Weeks and Points exchange programs. Establish which program your ownership can use, then compare the deposit or points needed, actual inventory, fees and cancellation conditions of the proposed stay before committing usage.
Compare the exchange you can actually confirm
- Identify whether the balance is club points, RCI Points or a Weeks exchange value.
- Confirm the resort, dates, accommodation and occupancy in the offer.
- Include membership, exchange and destination-specific charges where applicable.
- Check what happens to the deposited use if plans change or a stay is cancelled.
Identify the eligible exchange product
Ask your club and RCI to identify the membership, deposit/points rules, available balance and any restrictions. The ownership’s own club points are not necessarily the same unit as RCI Points or exchange value.
Check the full proposed exchange
Compare the actual destination, dates, unit size, fees and cancellation conditions. Membership or deposit does not guarantee a desired stay. Ask about additional resort, all-inclusive, parking or other charges for the particular confirmation.
Understand the commitment
Before depositing or confirming, read expiry, withdrawal, cancellation and guest-use rules. Do not assume an exchange confirmation can be rented, refunded or returned to the original ownership on the same terms.
A useful follow-up question
Does an RCI affiliation guarantee my preferred exchange?
No. Eligibility and membership are different from available inventory. Ask which actual stay can be confirmed and which conditions apply. Do not buy solely because a resort directory contains destinations you would like to visit.
