RCI
Your vacation ownership gives you access to a world full
of vacation opportunities.
If you’ve decided to explore other vacation options instead
of returning to your home resort, here’s how to use your week
and your RCI ® Subscribing Member benefits to enjoy other
great vacation experiences.
STEP 1:
Deposit your week
As soon as you know you want to
try a new destination for your next
vacation, deposit your week. You can
deposit your week up to two years
in advance of its start date or as late
as 14 days before the start date.
Depositing your week as soon as
possible generally gives you more
options and more time to plan.
Depositing early helps increase your
vacation options. Even if you’re not sure
exactly what you’d like to do or where
you might like to go, deposit your week.
Your travel window could give you up
to three years to take your vacation.
STEP 2:
Search for our vacation
Explore your options
With your week deposited, now
consider the vacation experience you
want. We’ve provided you with a
Vacation Planning Worksheet to help
you consider all the possibilities.
Focusing on the experience first,
rather than a specific destination or
resort, will afford you many more
options. Use this Directory to gather
information on all RCI affiliated
resorts and possible destinations. Go
online at RCI.com and find additional
details, pictures and member reviews
of resorts you’re interested in.
RCI Weeks
®
®
Depositing a FIXED week
If you own a vacation week that is for the
same unit and week each year, it’s called a
fixed week. To deposit your fixed week, log
on to RCI.com and follow the directions, or
call +65 6223 4333 to speak with an RCI
Vacation Guide.
Depositing a FLOATING week
If you own a vacation week that changes from
year to year, it’s called a floating week. Start
by calling your resort’s reservation center and
ask for your vacation week assignment. Then,
once you’ve confirmed with your resort, you
can deposit your floating week with RCI. Call
an RCI Vacation Guide at +65 6223 4333,

a match for your request is available
immediately. If not, start a convenient,
personalized search for the vacation
you want. Your request will be compared
against newly deposited weeks as they
enter the exchange system every day.
Once you initiate a search, your work is
done. There’s no need for you to check
on the status of your request; we contact
you as soon as a match is found.
STEP 3:
Confirm your exchange, then
enjoy your vacation
Once the system has found a vacation to
match your search, you’ll exchange your
deposited week either online or with a
Vacation Guide to close your search and
complete the transaction. You’ll receive
an email confirmation from us, verifying
the resort and your check-in date.

Tips from the

RCI Vacation
Guides
Every RCI Vacation Guide will tell you it’s important to plan
early, be flexible and request a comparable exchange.

Plan early
Make sure to deposit your week and request an exchange as early
as possible. Starting early helps increase your vacation options.
Be flexible
First, think broadly about the vacation experience you’d like to
enjoy. The more options you’re open to, the more likely you are to
find a great vacation more quickly. Remember that RCI Subscribing
Members from around the world are continually depositing their
vacation weeks into the RCI exchange system, while other RCI
Subscribing Members from around the world are exploring their
vacation options and requesting an exchange. The more choices
you can consider, the more likely you’ll find a match.
Request a comparable exchange
Exchanging may be easier when you request something
comparable to the vacation week you already own. So if you
deposit a two-bedroom, it’s advisable to request a two-bedroom
unit (or even a smaller one). If you deposit a one-bedroom unit,
request a one-bedroom or studio unit, and so forth. Our goal
is to provide all members with exchange vacations that are
comparable to the weeks they own and deposit into the system.

For example, a member who owns a week in May 2011 has these planning and travel windows:

14 DAYS MAY 2011 WEEK OWNED

2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014

2-YEAR – 14 DAYS DEPOSIT WINDOW

1-YEAR BEFORE 2-YEARS AFTER 6 MONTH 6 MONTH

DEPOSIT DEPOSIT
3-YEAR TRAVEL WINDOW EXTENSION EXTENSION

DEPOSIT WINDOW TRAVEL WINDOW

The RCI Weeks exchange system allows all members
®
to deposit and exchange a week two years in advance
of the start date of the week you own.
You must deposit your week no later than 14 days
before the start of your week to be eligible for an ex-
change vacation.
M6
The RCI ® Weeks exchange system allows all members to travel
up to one year before the start of the week they own, or as
long as two years after that week, creating a three-year travel
window. If you extend your deposit for a small fee, you also
extend your travel window up to one additional year.
For that week in May 2011, you can travel up to one year
before, starting May 2010 or travel as long as two years
after, through May 2013. If you extend your deposit, you
can travel up to three years after, through May 2014.
Once you find the experience you want to have, call an
RCI Vacation Guide at +65 6223 4333 or visit RCI.com.

We’ve asked our Vacation
Guides to share some of
their advice with you
If you want to travel during peak demand
times­—holidays and any time kids are
out of school—you need to plan well in
advance. The most successful members
start planning way in advance or are
able to take advantage of last-minute
opportunities.
– Bill
RCI Vacation Guide since 2004
I see people working backwards. They’ll
start their search very narrow and when
offered a comparable alternative, they’ll
turn it down thinking they’ll hold out for
their first choice, and if it doesn’t become
available, then they’ll take the alternative
offer. I explain that it’s very likely this
resort won’t be available then, but
people don’t seem to realize that until
it’s too late.

Think about alternative destinations that
can provide you with the same type of
vacation experience you’re looking for.
Getaways and cruises are other great
ways to enjoy the vacation experience
you want. New members should plan
on it taking a couple of years to learn
how to make all the RCI benefits work
for them.

Getaways
Getaways are perfect when you’ve already exchanged your week or where an
exchange vacation is not available at a destination where you want to go.
Getaways are an added benefit to give you more ways to vacation.

Getaways include available accommodations
at condos, cottages and villas around the
world. From Mexico’s Pacific coast to the
hills of Tuscany, vacation rentals give you
access to top destinations around the
world. Vacation rentals are also an
outstanding alternative to hotels when you
need to travel on business, attend a family
event or get away for a few days.
Imagine how much more enjoyable a
business trip could be if you stayed in
spacious accommodations with access to
all the amenities you’ve come to expect on
®
your vacations at RCI affiliated resorts. Or
how much more relaxing that trip to visit
M14
family would be with more space, a kitchen
and a living area.
Getaways can be affordable even if you
can only stay a few days. So take off for a
long weekend.
And you can even book at the last minute if
you just can’t fight the urge to get away. A
vacation is possible, even when you don’t
have time to plan far in advance.
RCI Subscribing Membership benefits give
you convenient access to a variety of
vacation opportunities.

Consider the Advantages
FLEXIBILITY.
Extra VacationsSM Getaways offer you greater
flexibility in booking a vacation. You can
choose the ideal accommodations to meet
your vacationing needs, from a one-bedroom
resort condo that sleeps four in Orlando to a
six-bedroom villa that houses 12 in Tuscany.
You’ll find accommodations for a full week’s
vacation, a long weekend and last-minute
opportunities. And there’s no limit to how
many rentals you can book, as
accommodations are routinely available.
AMENITIES.
Most accommodations include the comforts
you’ve come to expect at a typical resort, such
as a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer,
living room, dining area, balcony or terrace
and other amenities. Many properties also
include a private or communal pool, hot tub
and on-site fitness center. Many resorts are
