EXCHANGING THROUGH RCI

Before you can request an exchange through RCI, you must Spacebank the reserved week(s). If you think of Spacebanking as a checking account it will help. You cannot “withdraw” until after you have made a “deposit”. Please refer to RCI’s Endless Vacation Directory of Resorts for detailed information.

Wyndham Vacation Resort Management Reservation Department (888) 273-2554 will offer to assist you by Spacebanking your wee(s) with RCI on your behalf. This is an important benefit because the sooner your week is spacebanked, the greater your trading power.

You may Spacebank your week(s) with RCI by telephone or via the Internet. Call (800) 338-7777 or go online at www.rci.com.

REMEMBER: You may deposit a week from two years to 14 days before its start date. Once you have made your Spacebank deposit, you have up to two years after the start date of the week to travel on an exchange. You do not have to request an exchange at the same time you deposit your vacation time.

RESERVE EARLY, SPACEVANK EARLY, REQUEST YOUR EXCHANGE EARLY! BE FLEXIBLE WITH YOUR CHOICES OF DESTINATIONS AND DATES!
