Hi There,
Can you outline all the fees involved with opening a points membership. Are there fees for reserving at a resort other than your home resort. Do gold crown resorts require more points than other resorts? I'm new to timesharing and keep getting different answers for different people
Thanks so much

Selkirk8,

RCI Points allows owners to reserve vacations in smaller pieces (split weeks or even nightly stays), and book other services like airfare and cruises, by using points. If you need a larger unit, you can combine some of the next year's points, etc.

RCI Points was created to increase the options available to RCI members; however, it requires resorts and RCI to make some system changes. To offset these costs, resorts charge a conversion fee.

If your resort participates in RCI Points, I encourage you to ask about it. Visit our website here for more information, and feel free to e-mail us at feedback@rci.com. We'll be glad to try to help.

The transaction fees are as follows:

RCI Points Resort Reservations
• Home Week (7 nights only) $0
• Home Resort Reservation (7 nights only) $40USD/$47CD
(Must be made during the Home Resort Priority Period)

(Some Resorts may charge a housekeeping fee for stays less than 7 nights)

set up fee

Madge;
Isn't there also a 199 dollar set up fee. Does this include any membership time?


Thanks

Wayne,

RCI charges $199 for a Points MTA if the new owner needs to set up a new account. If there is an existing account, the MTA fee is $100.
