RCI relies on member deposits in the Weeks system. Renewals for RCI Weeks can also be paid in advance. In the Points system, inventory is deposited in advance and renewals are paid only for the current year. Vacation-based incentives such as Last Call are offered to both Weeks and Points members. Additionally, services such as extensions, once available only in RCI Weeks, are now also available in RCI Points.
Because these two programs are separate and distinct from each other, the incentives and special offers will often be different as well. There have been special offers just for Points members in the past - for example, discounted points required for close-date vacations. These and other promotions may continue to be offered from time to time in response to varying demand for last-minute Points inventory.
Special events such as our current
Dream Big Sweepstakes are frequently available to both Weeks and Points members. These events are fun for members and help to drive our business, so I anticipate we will continue to host them.
