What to do with RCI points before I give away Wyndham timeshare?

We have 2 Wyndham timeshares that we plan to give away after we return from our May vacation. I also have 121K RCI points associated with them (not sure if it is associate with one or both or how that works). The RCI points expire at the end of September 2018.

Other than take a vacation with the points, what are my options? Can I sell them/rent them/donate them? I hate for them just to expire.

Do they stay with the Wyndham timeshare when I transfer it to someone else?

BTW, my points show up now as allowing me to book individual night stays through RCI. I realize that is not suppose to be the case with resale, but it is how mine are working.

not sure how that worked. I started a conversation with you but thought it was private, not sure where it went. Anyway... here's what I wrote you:

Hello Richardsdeals: Just saw our post on what to do with your RCI Points. I just want to put my hat into the ring when you make a decision what to do with them. We are RCI Platinum members and I know that it's free to transfer points if you are Platinum. We had to use up all our points (47,500) to book a week in Hilton Head Island. I was not happy about it, but my husband has ALS (Lou Gehrigs) and he wanted to return there in May.

If you end up giving all/some of your points away or donate them, could you please keep us in mind. We would be so happy to have some points. As it stands, we have used all the points we have on that one week and won't get anymore until November.

We could use your points to do reduced points vacations 7,500 to 9,000.

Thanking you in advance,

Deborah & Dave in Canada

Sorry but I don't believe these points can be transferred. They are Wyndham points deposited into RCI weeks. An owner of points at a resort in the RCI system can transfer points to another points owner.

We use almost all of our points on 7500-9000 point weeks and get great stays.

Here is a screen shot of what I have. It is 124K points, and yes they are CLUB WYNDHAM Plus Points on Deposit with RCI. So does that mean I cannot rent/give/transfer them?

That is my understanding from what OP posted recently on another thread. However you could rent or give away the stays prior to transferring your Wyndham ownership to a different owner. The stays would need to be used before the transfer.

Fwiw, I got curious & went poking around the Wyndham/RCI site. I found this section under the help tab:

What is Transferring CLUB WYNDHAM® Points?


RCI lets you transfer your CLUB WYNDHAM® Points to a fellow RCI® CLUB WYNDHAM® Points member. So, if you have CLUB WYNDHAM® Points which you know you’ll be unable to use before they expire, or have a friend or family member who needs extra CLUB WYNDHAM® Points to complete a transaction, you can Transfer CLUB WYNDHAM® Points from your account to theirs. You can transfer an allotment of CLUB WYNDHAM® Points from your account to someone else’s one time per Use Year free of charge.


So looks like you can transfer them but only to another Club Wyndham RCI account, not a regular RCI points account.

I guess the best thing would be for the OP to call RCI and see what he is eligible to do with his points.

I’ve transferred RCI points to other owners within the past year. Wyndham deposited ones.

Thanks. I knew someone had posted about this recently. After I thought about it I was pretty sure I got it wrong. Did you or an OP post that a reservation would or could be lost in the transfer process? I think that was what had me mixed up.
