Who is RCI?
Resort Condominiums International is the largest timeshare exchange company and have been in the timeshare market for over 20 years.  RCI is affiliated with 3700 resorts worldwide and are owned by Cendant, one of the largest travel companies in the world.

What are RCI Points?
RCI Points are a next-generation timeshare concept. Members receive points to use each year to book accomodations in literally thousands of resorts worldwide. Rather than traditional timeshare weeks where members stay at the same resort for a week each year, RCI Points members are alloted their points each year to use for condo accomodations.

Do I buy RCI Points from RCI?
No.  RCI developed and manages the program.  You may buy RCI Points from RCI Points resorts and resellers.  Discover Timeshare is an RCI Points reseller.

How much are RCI Points?
RCI Points are typically priced on a per point basis.  You may purchase as many or few RCI Points as you need.  New RCI Points members pay a one-time upfront cost for a points membership and a recurring maintenance fee each year.  The price for individual memberships fluctuate as does the maintenance fee.

Who is Discover Timeshare and how does the RCI Points process work?
Discover Timeshare helps you purchase RCI Points packages from top-rated RCI Affiliated resorts.

  • For example: You purchase 100,000 RCI Points from Discover Timeshare (and save a bunch of money in the process!).
     
  • Your RCI Points are tied directly to a portion of a condo unit at a Discover Timeshare affiliated resort - also known as your 'home resort.'
     
  • You can visit any resort in the RCI Points system and never have to visit your home resort.
     
  • Each year, you pay a maintenance fee directly to your home resort. This annual fee helps to keep the resort in top condition.
     
  • Discover Timeshare helps you determine the number of points you will need, how to use your points membership, and how to buy the right membership at the right price.

Are there other hidden fees with RCI Points?
No.  When you buy your RCI Points membership from Discover Timeshare each and every cost is fully disclosed.  As an RCI Points member, you are responsible for your annual maintenance fee and a small reservation fee (when you use your RCI Points).  There are no membership fees, useage fees, or other hidden costs.
