How RCI Weeks and RCI Points exchanges work

RCI Weeks and RCI Points use different ways to exchange eligible vacation time. Verify which program your ownership uses before comparing a week, club point amount or exchange option.

RCI Weeks

With RCI Weeks, a subscribing member may deposit an eligible week. RCI assigns it a Deposit Trading Power value that helps determine the exchanges available to the member. RCI’s deposit guidance explains why the timing and the resort’s procedures matter.

RCI Points

With RCI Points, an eligible subscribing member can use their points allocation to request available vacations. Ask which use year, account and reservation window apply to your ownership. When a listing mentions club points, confirm with the club how those points relate to any RCI access.

Before you exchange

Confirm that the specific interest qualifies, your membership is active, and your usage is available. Ask what fees, deposit deadlines, cancellation rules and destination charges apply. A requested exchange can stay pending until RCI confirms availability for the dates and accommodation you want.
