Unlock new destinations with RCI, the world’s leading provider in vacation exchange. With an RCI membership, you can exchange your credits for a week-long stay at more than 4,100 timeshare resorts around the world.

When RCI members deposit their holiday entitlements (Credits or weeks) with RCI they are placed into a central availability pool, known as “Deposit First”.

Once timeshare entitlements have been deposited, RCI members can select a holiday from around the globe. 

The holiday options that RCI can offer depend on what is available in the pool at the time, and rely on other members to deposit their holiday entitlements at their club or timeshare resort.
