I have seen some good exchanges that have low point values in RCI. These are weeks resorts that require you to book a full week stay. I would like to know if there is a penalty for early checkout. I would likely only need 3-4 days of the reservation but at 7500 points it seems worth it to me.

The resort has been paid it does not matter to them if you leave early.

We've done what you are talking about several times. It was cheaper to book a week through RCI Extra Vacations than book 4 nights at a hotel. Once, on an exchange, the resort was in such poor condition we decided we didn't want to stay any longer. In all cases we checked out when we were ready to leave and I don't think we were even asked why we were leaving early.

I've done this and never had a problem.

I've even checked in early once, called resort, told them I was going to be checking out 3 days early, could I check in a day early. They had room, so it was no problem...
