Through my RCI points contract I booked a 7 night vacation from the RCI weeks inventory . If I understand correctly, I do not have to pay for the cleaning fee. The disclaimer said that the RCI points reservations do pay the fee. The chat with RCI confirms that I would not, please see below. Can anyone tell me if this is what they experienced?
Me (11/21/2020, 11:12:11 AM): In the disclaimer for booking that resort, they mention a cleaning fee just for the RCI POINTS reservation. Since I paid for an RCI weeks unit I should not pay for the cleaning fee when I check in at the resort, right?
Angelin F. (11/21/2020, 11:13:48 AM): Yes, that is correct. Thank you for conveying your question with more detail.
Me (11/21/2020, 11:14:27 AM): so no cleaning fee. Will the resort be aware of that?
Angelin F. (11/21/2020, 11:16:50 AM): Yes, they will be aware since you booked the entire week.
Me (11/21/2020, 11:17:36 AM): Ok but I could have booked an entire week even if it was the RCI Points inventory
Me (11/21/2020, 11:19:50 AM): does it mean that the cleaning fee only applies for less than one week bookings?
Angelin F. (11/21/2020, 11:22:54 AM): Yes, very rarely resorts will charge for 7 night stay cleaning fees but mainly they charge for locations booked less than 7 nights.
Me (11/21/2020, 11:25:13 AM): in that case RCI should change the disclaimer and clarify that the fees are just for the RCI points stays for less than 7 nights.
