Points
The RCI Points® program provides subscribing members with a flexible way to exchange their

depending on a range of factors, such as supply and demand at the resort, the type of unit and season
in which you own, and the evaluations of members who have stayed there in the past. This Point value is
the number of Points that you are allocated each Use Year to exchange for vacation time at a choice of
over 4,300 resorts in 110 countries!
To become an RCI Points member, please call your home resort.

Member Stories
We are newbies in the timeshare world and have only had one
vacation to date with RCI. During that vacation we stayed at
the Berkshire on the Ocean at Delray Beach Florida... We
could walk into town to fabulous restaurants and the people
at the resort were very friendly. As new retirees, it
certainly opened our eyes to the realm of vacation possibilities
that our RCI membership offers and we are excitedly planning
our next vacation!
My husband and I joined RCI in 1991 when our youngest son
was 5 years old. We purchased a condo in Panama City Beach,
the Landmark Holiday Beach Resort... We've exchanged all
over the U.S. and once in Mexico. We have so many wonderful
memories from these vacations! Condos have made what can be
stressful family get-aways in small hotel rooms to relaxing
and fun times to share!
In 2008 my parents provided us with a guest certificate
to enjoy a Las Vegas vacation. We chose Summer's Bay behind
Harrahs. We had been discussing transfer of ownership so this
was a great opportunity to learn how RCI & vacation ownership
worked. We'll definetly go back now that we are the full owners!!
BRING ON THE RCI VACATIONS!!!!
This was the first RCI vacation we had ever used with
our points. The booking was easy, the check-in was
flawless and the room was spectacular ... We will never
forget our time as a family experiencing the vacation
of our dreams. Thank you RCI!
This was our 4 year anniversary, and because of RCI,
we were able to stay in a very romantic, and expensive
room for our Disney vacation!... I just can't say enough
about what RCI has allowed us to do, we are looking
forward to going back here with our family around the
holidays ...
FAQs
Do I actually own a Week or do I have Points?
When it comes to timeshare, there are many different ownership options.
Some examples of ownership types are a fixed week or fixed unit, a
floating week, or your resort may simply allocate a number of points
for you to use each year. For specific information about your ownership,
you will need to review your purchase documents or contact your resort.
Your agreement with RCI is separate and distinct from your agreement to
purchase your timeshare. For more information about the RCI Weeks and
RCI Points exchange programs, please go to
www.rci.com.
What is trading power? (Applicable to Weeks Only)
Deposit Trading Power - Once your week is deposited, it is assigned a
Deposit Trading Power, which is used to determine what exchange vacation
options are available to you. A couple of the main components of Deposit
Trading Power are supply and demand. If you own a week that a lot of
people typically want and has had limited availability, the Deposit
Trading Power is likely to be higher. If you have a week that fewer
people typically want or has had a lot of availability, the Deposit
Trading Power is likely to be lower. While Deposit Trading Power is the
value derived and assigned to a week once it is deposited with RCI,
Deposit Trading Power may also be derived when making a Combined Deposit
or from the residual value of a Deposit Credit. Deposit Trading Power may
vary from Deposit to Deposit and from year to year based on a variety of
factors. To learn more about Deposit Trading Power, please visit
www.rci.com/deposittradingpower
Exchange Trading Power- Exchange Trading Power is the value assigned to a resort week available for exchange in the RCI® system. Unlike Deposit Trading Power, which you can lock in once you deposit, Exchange Trading Power is always changing based on supply and demand. The Exchange Trading Power for a unit of Vacation Time may differ from the Deposit Trading Power of that Vacation Time. To learn more about the Exchange Trading Power, please visit www.rci.com/exchangetradingpower

How early should I deposit my week (Applicable to Weeks Only)?
Deposit your week 9 months to 2 years in advance of the start date of your ownership
week to receive 100% of your available Deposit Trading Power to use for exchange.
However, when you can deposit may vary based on when your resort makes your week
available to you and when you pay your maintenance fees.
What are the most important tips to find an exchange vacation?
- Keep your search broad. Be flexible with dates and locations, you never know what you'll discover.
- Use the available search filters to narrow down your options to the ones that suit you best.
- Search by "vacation type" rather than a specific destination – you may discover a place you never thought of.
- Consider smaller units. If you only need a studio or one-bedroom, you may discover destinations you never thought possible with your Deposit Trading Power. Plus, if you use less Deposit Trading Power than your deposit has to exchange for a vacation, you'll get a Deposit Credit.
