FIVE TIPS FOR EASY VACATION PLANING FROM RCI
-
Deposit Early--you don't have to know where you want to go to make your deposit. The earlier you deposit, the more opportunities you'll have for a match when you do make an exchange request.
-
Request Early--as soon as you decide where you want to travel, let us know so we can start searching for your vacation.
-
Be Flexible--as a rule of thumb, your exchange request will be fulfilled more quickly when you give RCI four to six resort choices and dates rather than one or two.
-
Keep Your Endless Vacation Magazine Subscription Current--after your initial enrollment, your RCI membership is maintained exclusively through your subscription to Endless Vacation magazine. No deposits or requests can take place for any dates that occur after your subscription expiration date.
