Weeks Exchange F.A.Q.'s
How
do I make an exchange through RCI Weeks?
- Deposit your time with RCI - this is also called
"spacebanking" your time. You may do
this 2 years - 14 days in advance of your assigned
usage start date at your home resort. All maintenance
fees must be paid for the weeks that you would
like to deposit into the spacebank.
- Request an exchange for your vacation week at
a resort that is comparable to the one that you
have deposited for exchange. With the RCI weeks
program, you get what they describe as a like
unit for like unit or less exchange.
- Receive your confirmed exchange vacation reservation.
- Get out and Go on your timeshare vacation!

RCI
Weeks Instant Exchanges
The RCI Weeks Instant Exchange system
is designed to provide an extra benefit to those
RCI owners who are looking to make a last minute
exchange reservation. If you make your reservation
45 days or less in advance, your exchange reservation
now automatically qualifies for what RCI calls and
Instant Exchange! The best rule about the RCI Instant
Exchange Program is that there is no rule! You may
exchange any season for any season, any size for
any size. There are no constraints on where to go
or what quality of stay you may enjoy. If the 45
day reservation window fits your style, you will
find instant exchanges extremely attractive. Those
of you that have purchased lesser sized units, such
as a studio, may exchange into a 2 bedroom; if you
own Blue or White time, you may exchange for Red.
Many RCI “Veterans” use Instant Exchange
reservations exclusively. They find many great resorts
are subject to last minute cancellations. The Instant
Exchange is a feature of RCI of which few people
are aware. Take advantage of this Great feature!
It works!!!
