With the flexibility of RCI Points, you can set your own travel priorities and see the world on your own terms.
How Do RCI Points work?
When you purchase your vacation week or convert an existing vacation week, it’s assigned an RCI Points value, which simplifies the exchange process. The RCI Points value depends on certain factors including the supply and demand at that resort location, the type of unit, season, and evaluations from Members who’ve stayed there. Your RCI Points are made available to you annually, at the beginning of your Use Year.
Once you receive your annual allotment of RCI Points, you can exchange them to make reservations at both Points and weeks resorts, as well as RCI Points Partners for hotels, rental cars, cruises, airfare and entertainment.
In the timeshare industry, the calendar is still based on the Gregorian, but it is broken down by the week. Each week of the year is given a number, with 1 being the first week in January and 52 being the last week of December. When you decide to purchase a timeshare resale or rent timeshare, you will need to know what week number you are buying or renting. You will see this number listed under "Unit Information" in Timeshare Resale Rental ads.

Some are turning to services that promise to relieve them of their time share and their obligations for a fee. The Governor’s Office of Consumer Affairs is advising consumers to use extreme caution when confronted with offers such as these. The agency has received a number of complaints from consumers alleging that they have paid substantial sums of money and signed over their deeds to resellers, only to find that the maintenance fees were not paid, the deed was never filed, and they are now being sued for past due maintenance fees.

If a company wants you to pay them a very high upfront fee to take over your timeshare or to sell your timeshare and or to list your timeshare on their website, don’t do this.
I have also seen companies state they will transfer your timeshare for an unbelievable low price and don’t care if you owe back fee’s taxes or assessments. There is a very high probability it could be a scam. No resort will allow a transfer to occur without all fees being current.
Never, ever, no matter what they say, no matter what they promise, ever pay an upfront fee to any company to list or promise to sell your timeshare. Real resellers with will collect a commission upon the completion of the sale when the property closes.
Should a transfer company ask you to send money directly to them this should be a red flag. You should always use an escrow and title company to handle the conveyance of money and or deed. Unfortunately there are people out here still taking advantage of people and this makes us all skeptics.

We will never ask you to send money directly to us.
