A subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, Resort Condominiums International Ltd. (RCI) was founded in 1974. The corporation is a global leader in timeshare properties, luxury real estate and vacation exchange. Wyndham Worldwide Corporation is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (WYN).
As a member of RCI vacation exchange program, owners may customize the vacations they take and gain access to 5,404 resorts in 100 countries as a subscribing member of RCI Points. Additionally, the RCI Points Partner Program allows members to exchange points for airline tickets, hotels stays, cruises and other travel products.
RCI Global Points members may vacation at their home resort or select another RCI Points-affiliated resort. Members may reserve various resort unit types in any season. Members can save up or borrow points toward their desired vacation. Points can be traded for airline tickets, rental cars, cruises and other travel products. Members may use points to exchange into the RCI Weeks-affiliated resorts.
Members may stay only one night or as long as desired in the RCI Points resorts, although stays are subject to availability. Select the size and type of unit you prefer. Save unused points and carry them over to the next year free, as long as some points have been exchanged. If no points have been exchanged, there is a fee to carry over points.
Transfer points to another member if you choose. If you do not have enough points, you can rent points to complete your reservation or borrow points from your next year's allotment. Members also may take advantage of discounted deals on vacations at participating resorts without using their own points. Points may be exchanged toward cruises, and cruises are offered at discounts for members as well. A credit card program, official travel magazine and web site are additional benefits.
Take advantage of RCI Points Deals for savings up to 50 percent off RCI Points value. Enjoy RCI guest certificates, RCI vacation protection insurance, auto-renewal billing and RCI travel, a full-service travel agency.
Be sure to read the RCI Disclosure guide for full terms and conditions. It is available at the official web site (see link in References). Search the online directory to see all the RCI Points-affiliated resorts available in this program. Should you already be a timeshare owner at one of these affiliated resorts; simply call the resort to inquire about joining the RCI Points program.
RCI Weeks is different from RCI Points. RCI Weeks is the program for exchanging your week(s) at your home resort for your week(s) at another RCI-affiliated resort. This begins by depositing your week, searching for the new vacation spot, choosing it and confirming the new reservation.
