RCI Points: The RCI Points Series Part Four

Here's a little about my personal experience with RCI Points.


I own RCI Points and I am very happy with them.

I have been watching and studying RCI Points for years, and while I believe it is an excellent product, I really believe that there is a good reason and a good argument for ownership of both types of vacation timeshare, RCI Points as well as the traditional one-week type of timeshare.

What one has to understand about RCI Points is that unless you use your points in your home resort, you are relying on being able to confirm an exchange into the resorts you request.

RCI Points: The RCI Points Series Part Three

If you own RCI Points at an RCI Points affiliated resort, you can use those points to vacation in any RCI resort, be it a traditional RCI "weeks" resort, or an RCI Points resort.

If you don't spend all your points in the first year, the points automatically can be used in the second year. They do not carry over to the third year.

We have a great example scenario on our website so you can easily visualize how you can use the points for various functions. The RCI Points values chart for the world is on our RCI Points main page.

All timeshares involve ownership and therefore maintenance costs for upkeep. The good news about RCI Points though, is that unlike the older timeshare product where you only get one week for that annual maintenance fee, with RCI Points it is very easy to get more than one week or even several weeks of vacation, still for only that one annual maintenance fee. This is done by using the RCI Points for short notice "Last Call" vacations which require only 9,000 points for a full week in any size unit worldwide.

Since you can get so much time out of your RCI Points for just one maintenance fee, your expense is far lower, only a small fraction of what it would cost you to rent a comparable accommodation.
