We own Hilton Hawaii timeshares and was wondering if the RCI membership is included in the maintenance fees?
I keep getting mail to renew my membership in RCI. Thanks for your help. Mike

You are given access via your HGVC account. However it is not an individual RCI membership but it is different. If you have other non- HGVC weeks that you need to deposit, then you will need another RCI account. If you only have the HGVC timeshare then NO you will not have to pay for an additional RCI membership.

You would just access RCI from the main page of your HGVC membership. You would access your RCI form the link circled....

Wyndham gives me an traditional RCI weeks access account but Hilton does not.

@Sandy VDH thanks for that information. I'm not a Hilton owner so I didn't know. Shouldn't have posted. :oops:

If you are a HGVC member you get access through the club portal. The membership to RCI for your HGVC units are included in your club dues (not maintenance fees). If you own a deeded week (affiliate) without points, for example at Bay Club, your MF's do not pay for rci and if you want rci you pay for it separately.
