ii. Resorts are charging varying prices for conversion to the Points program. Can RCI establish more consistency with this? Some resorts are charging very high prices. Purchase prices among resorts vary widely, and RCI does not control the sales aspect of timesharing. RCI Points is different in that these are already owners who are simply being charged a fee to participate in a different kind of exchange program.

Does the one-in-four year rule apply to an entire account, or to the individuals using the confirmed vacations? If I send a guest to a one-in-four resort, will I also be restricted?. 9 D. How come there are many weeks available through outlets such as RCI Holiday Network for rent, yet I am unable to find availability directly through RCI?. 15 i.

Answer: RCI Points is a type of timeshare ownership in an RCI affiliated resort, where RCI has assigned a point value for all RCI resorts, assigning a certain number of points for a vacation stay of one night or more, for any size unit and any time of the year. The points can be exchanged through RCI for shorter or longer vacations in any unit size desired, as well as for travel-related products, including airfare, cruises, car rental, and hotel reservations.

No. RCI developed and manages the program. You may buy RCI Points from RCI Points resorts and resellers. Holiday Resales is an RCI Points reseller.

RCI does not rate resorts, however, our members do, and we track that information . We compile VEP scores for the sole purpose of matching resorts in quality for exchanges in our program.

Answer: This question makes an invalid assumption that the only way to own RCI Points is to "convert" a weeks ownership to a points ownership. For ownerships and resorts that qualify, another way is to keep your weeks ownership and simply become an owner of a small RCI Points account, and then you can take advantage of RCI's points for deposit program and obtain RCI Points for your RCI Weeks deposit.

Please contact RCI directly and request them to deposit your week, they will then send a verification report to CPV. As long as maintenance fees are paid for this week CPV will verify all is OK and you week is deposited. If maintenance fees have not been paid then the deposit will be refused. Please note that the banking for these weeks have to be re-instated with RCI. Hence, if this should happen to you, RCI should be contacted by yourself to re-bank the weeks.

Once your contract has closed, it takes 8-12 weeks to receive your RCI Points? membership information. The submission date can vary based on contractual issues.

For example: You purchase 100,000 RCI Points from Holiday Resales (and save a bunch of money in the process!). Your RCI Points are tied directly to a portion of a condo unit at your affiliated resort - also known as your 'home resort.' Each year, you pay a maintenance fee directly to your home resort. This annual fee helps to keep the resort in top condition.

For reasons of cost, we simply could not include this initiative this year. We do plan to make the necessary changes -- I just cannot give you a firm date as to when those changes will occur. RCI Points members who purchased in Australia have not yet had any online access via rci.com. Initially the RCI office that served members' Points accounts was determined by where members owned versus where they lived.

You can contact us at head office or contact your resort and we can give you all the information needed to upgrade to RCI Points. The reception will assist in planning days out by coach or even route planning should you have your own car. Entry tickets can be obtained through the reception to avoid waiting once you arrive at the parks. We have a laundry facilities on site with tokens available from reception. Every Elite apartment has its own washing machine.

Simply contact our Member Services department at (800)423-8604, we will verify that your resort is an RCI Points? affiliate and then a member from our Sales department will contact you.
