A timeshare might sound like an appealing purchase for anyone, considering that timeshare presentations are full of promises and big expectations that leave most of their assistants blown away.
Therefore, lots of families buy a timeshare with the anticipation of traveling all over the world with it. Learn more about how to use the RCI exchange system to do so.
Timeshare Exchange
A timeshare exchange, also known as a timeshare trade or timeshare swap, is a one-time trade for a resort in a different location.
This can work in many different ways, but most of them require a hard work and a lot of patience.
Sometimes you have to be able to find another timeshare owner who is willing to exchange his week for yours, and most times you have to begin the arrangements for the trade with over a year of anticipation.
However, there are several timeshare exchange companies that have the goal of facilitating that job for you, and RCI is one of those companies.
How to use the RCI Timeshare Exchange System
RCI is the biggest timeshare exchange company in the world. The process of exchanging your timeshare goes through two different phases: preparation and booking.
These are the detailed instructions on How to use the RCI timeshare exchange system:
The Preparation
- First, you have to deposit your timeshare weeks into the RCI system. This can be done through the RCI website, in the “Deposit Section”
- Think of the time of the year that you would like to travel, as well as the destination
- Think of the resorts that you would like to stay at. Take into consideration that they have to be part of the resort directory
The Booking
- Register on the website and communicate with an RCI representative
- Choose and select the week that you would like to exchange and ask for assistance to book a resort
- Provide your dates for your planned travel to the representative
- Contact the representative to check availability at the resorts that you would like to go to
- Make sure to tell the representative to book the week that you have previously chosen
- Pay the trading fees
- Save the exchange confirmation that is emailed to your account
Problems and Complaints
Despite RCI being the biggest timeshare exchange company in the world, you still have to be very careful before exchanging your week, as there are many things that could go wrong during the process.
Take into consideration that you have to book the resort as soon as possible, sometimes even up to two years in advance, which can be a problem for some families.
Also, you must know that a membership fee needs to be paid, whether you exchange your timeshare or not.
These are some complaints made against RCI:

We bought a timeshare in Mexico and then added points to include our family. We have access to RCI and Hilton, but we have not been able to book either of these in 2 years. We seem to only be able to book Mexico. NOT VERY HAPPY. Plus, it is work and we are charged to look for bookings on RCI.

RCI es una opcion terrible, jamas esta disponible, no se entonces para que lo ponen como opcion
Hi i mistakenly bought a RCI timeshare in malta a few years ago and would now like to surrender it.
How do i go about this as im about to lose my job and i cant afford to pay this years maintenance fee whatever it will be.
If anybody wants it i will let them take it off my hands for free!
Any advice would be beneficial
Many thanks
I tried to use it but there is never availability in the resorts I want
Interesante blog . Aprendo algo con cada sito web todos los días. Siempre es estimulante poder devorar el contenido de otros escritores. Desearía usar algo de tu blog en mi blog, naturalmente dejare un enlace , si me lo permites. Gracias por compartir.
I have been an RCI subscriber for 25 years. They are not a scam. I have successfully traded my Virginia timeshare weeks for locations in England, Hawaii, Panama and more. On the other hand, they are money-grubbing - their charges are becoming less and less cost effective, sometimes difficult to work with, have a TERRIBLE Web Site...I could go on. But I DO NOT see them as a scam.
