What is an Instant Exchange?
Any vacation exchange request that is made and confirmed with
RCI 45
Days or Less from the desired check-in date.
How can I get multiple weeks of usage with Instant Exchanges?
If your lifestyle and schedule allows you or your family members
to travel 45 days or less from your desired check-in date, you
can get entire week long vacations for only… 9000
Points or less!
Can I get Instant Exchanges at Points Resorts?
No. Instant Exchanges can only be used at RCI Weeks resorts with
RCI Weeks inventory
What day(s) can I check-in?
When using RCI Weeks inventory, you will have to check-in on
the check-in day of the week required by the resort you will be
staying at. (Please see RCI Community Guide.)
What if I cannot check-in on that day or use the entire week?
While your week of use will start on the required check-in day
for the resort you will be staying at, you can arrive anytime
during that week. Simply call the resort after you have confirmed
your Instant Exchange and let the resort know that you will be
a late arrival. You will loose the use nights that you miss whether
you check-in late or have to leave early, but for only 9000 Points
for the entire week, you can’t loose!
How many Instant Exchange weeks can I get per year with my
Points?
As many increments of 9000 Points you have available in your
Points account.
As an example, lets say you have 36,000 Points to use
annually. Divide 36,000 by 9000 and you get 4. So, if you can
travel four times per year on a short notice basis, you could
get as many as 4 weeks of vacation with your Points.
Do I have to pay additional Maintenance Fees for the weeks
I get on Instant Exchanges?
No. That’s one of the most exciting parts about Instant Exchanges.
You pay your regular annual maintenance fee, but have the opportunity
to get multiple weeks of use per year.
Do I pay additional Exchange Fees?
Yes. When you use your points to vacation at a weeks resort,
whether on and Instant Exchange or regular use week, you will
pay the required Exchange Fee for each week you use.
Can I use Instant Exchanges during Red Time and Gold Crown
Resorts?
Yes! This is another exciting opportunity with Instant Exchanges.
Any RCI Weeks deposited inventory that is still available in the
system 45 days or less from your desired check-in date is available
for Instant Exchange use. Think about the possibilities!
