Thanks, URL doesn't say "wyndham", which I am not. I'll see if it works or if it is just wyndham

 

[gravityrules]

I don't own anything in Wyndham and it worked for me. I just came across this during a stay at a Wyndham resort. Of course you need to own something that has RCI affiliation in order to enroll the new RCI membership.

Thank you so much!! I've been putting off signing up for RCI ... but for 2 free years - I'll try it!!

 

[TravelJoy]

This seems to only be for weeks accounts, if you have points you should get weeks free.

 

[joybuzzer]

I gave it a try, I will report back if it works. The response after filling out the form said it take a couple of days and I will get an email when my account is activated.

Unfortunately the offer is for new members to RCI only.

Will this link apply to old Diamond Resort members?

Said with a chuckle, no intent to offend anyone ... I didn't think a lawyeresqe disclaimer was necessary before posting.

I don't work for or have any business affiliation with Wyndham, RCI or parent corporate TNL. My knowledge of this offer is limited to what you can read for yourself on the screenshot and/or on the website.
It worked for me (and yes I was pleasantly surprised it did), perhaps it will work for you. This is my first time to have a RCI membership. Since it is for 'new members' I assume it will not work if you've had a RCI membership before ... that's my interpretation. I'm sure RCI confirms the ownership you enter on the form. What's the harm in trying?

Do your own due diligence. YMMV. Exclusions and exceptions may apply ...

Resist the urge to 'look a gift horse in the mouth'.

Thanks. Just applied for mine. I got a VVW week for exchanging in II, and was wondering if I needed RCI to really get benefits of owning VV resort. Now I get to find out for free!

I too got the offer to work, as a 1st time member. Not sure how the TPUs work. It seems like there are fees for everything. I feel like I will be paying several hundred in fees to make this 'gift horse' useable.

Edit: It seems I need to contact my resort in order to get their permission to deposit my week? Sounds like another fee.

No, I don't think you will have to pay a fee to add a week. I add weeks all of the time for no extra cost. Soleil may not let you use RCI, if you didn't pay to "upgrade" to RCI Points. That is what a few people who own Hono Koa found out. They could only use II, unless they paid $5,000, or some ridiculous amount of cash, to enroll in RCI Points. I think Soleil makes $4,700 of that $5,000. RCI only charges $299. Yeah.

The costs of RCI do add up, however. The combine fee, the extend fee, the insurance fee (which does not include the exchange fee of $299, so if you add that, it's just another expense, and if you don't use the insurance, well, you threw that money away). The cost of RCI is so much more than it used to be.

If they would just go back down to $229 per exchange, it would be better.

Does anyone know what the expiration date of this offer is? Thank you.

I applied

Just wanted to report back - I applied, received multiple emails with my member number, tried to register on three different days and I kept getting error messages. Finally - two days ago - it allowed me to sign up! Thank you again!

 

[Huskerpaul]

I got a message that the offer has expired when I tried today. At least some folks got to take advantage of this.

I input the code in the link and tried to enroll using my Worldmark Owner's dashboard portal to RCI. Said code was expired. I will try using the form in the link and see what happens.

 

[TheHappyWanderer]

I am a Worldmark owner (no specific WM resort owned, just WM credits.) in the link in post #3, when it asks for a specific resort/week I don't know what to put since I only own WM credits. Is there a way for me to apply for this offer, or is this offer only for those who own a specific resort/week? Thank!

I just chose any WM resort since it isn't week specific.

I also provided my previous RCI Account Number with the promo. My previous WM RCI account expired January 2023.

I received an email from RCI with my member number on Aug 19th and I have tried to register for four straight days. When I complete the registration process and then click the button to accept the terms and conditions, it fails with this error message " Weeks Member Registration Failed In EVS1 System". I have tried calling and chating with RCI, but they can not tell me what the problem is. The usual response is try again in 24 hours.
