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.
Whether you want a sleepy sojourn beneath the gum trees in regional Australia, a family vacation full of theme park fun in Miami, Florida, or a summer catching the Mediterranean sun on the European coast, RCI has a resort option for you.
RESERVATIONS
There are two ways you can book:
Confirm first
You confirm the reservation before moving your credits from your club account to RCI. Vacation credits are then only deducted after the reservation is confirmed.
Spacebanking
You are transferring credits into your RCI account without a booking. You have two years to book and travel with Spacebanked credits. Spacebanked credits can not be transferred back into your Club Wyndham South Pacific account.
Please note that transfers may take up to 72 hours. All stays through RCI require a housekeeping token as the stay is at a timeshare apartment. RCI has a different cancellation policy to Club Wyndham South Pacific – and some resorts have their own cancellation policies – so we would recommend reading the policy, which will be on your confirmation letter when you make a reservation.

ONGOING SEARCHES
RCI is an exchange platform. The inventory that appears in the RCI exchange system has been deposited by other timeshare owners or clubs on behalf of their owners. Timeshare owners of more than 4,200 resorts can deposit their inventory into RCI but it does not mean availability exists for all of these at a single point in time.
Members can place an Ongoing Search if the dates or resort they want are not currently in the exchange. An Ongoing Search requests the system search inventory as it is deposited until a match is found – if or when this happens, RCI will make contact with the member to confirm they would still like to book. Incoming inventory is prioritised to Ongoing Searches first and, if there are none, the inventory is then placed on the exchange.
HOLIDAY RENTALS
Saving your credits and trying to use as few as possible? Holiday rentals are additional options available at discounted cash rates or converted into a vacation credit rate, often at destinations where there is no exchange accommodation.
HOTEL EXCHANGE
This benefit offers combined cash-credit deals at affiliated properties that offer a discount of up to 60 per cent for stays of up to five nights, at a cost of 500 credits per night. There are more than 600,000 options available that all RCI members can book.
Exchange Plus
Exclusive to Club Wyndham South Pacific owners who also own timeshare in another club, Exchange Plus gives you the option to exchange your qualified timeshare week, or weeks, for more flexible Exchange Plus credits to use toward Club Wyndham bookings.
Combine your Exchange Plus credits with your vacation credits for even more holiday options, including shorter or longer stays, larger or smaller rooms, plus a wide range of destinations across Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Indonesia, Thailand and Hawaii in the United States.
