Now you can get access to even more holiday* options than ever before! With the ability to combine your Deposits you will have access to exchange holidays you otherwise wouldn’t have had. This is just part of the improved holiday options that RCI is providing you.
What EXACTLY is a Combined Deposit?
Combined Deposits** allows you to take your already Deposited Weeks or Deposit Credits and add them together to increase your Deposit Trading Power and your exchange options. Each of your Deposited Weeks, combined Deposits or Deposit Credits has a Deposit Trading Power value assigned to it. When you combine any of these, they appear as one Week with a new, higher, Deposit Trading Power equal to the total Trading Power of the individual components.
How Do Combined Deposits Work?
When you are in the "Manage Your Deposits" screen you will be able to see all of your Deposits including Combined Deposits and Deposit Credits and their respective Trading Power. You can then choose to combine any of them for a fee.
You can select as many of your Deposits or Deposit Credits as you would like to combine to get the exchange you want. When clicking on eligible deposits or Deposit Credits to combine, the total Trading Power of the combined deposits and the new travel window will appear on the right of the screen for your reference. Once you select the deposits or Deposit Credits you would like to combine, simply confirm your choice and pay the combine fee.
Your newly combined Deposits will then appear on your “Manage Your Deposits” screen as a “Combined Deposit” which can be used like a regular Deposit. It is important to note that the individual Weeks, or Deposit Credits you combined will no longer be visible on the “Manage Your Deposits” screen as individual Weeks. The Travel window for the new Combined Deposit will be 12 months from the date of combination. For example, if you combine two weeks on the 1st of December 2010, your new Combined Deposit will have a travel through date of 1st December 2011.
What Are my Options For Combining Deposits?
When combining Deposits you have a few options:
- Combine a Deposit Credit with another Deposit Credit
Suggested Use: If you have multiple Deposit Credits and using one will not get you the holiday you want, you can combine them to get a new deposit with a higher Trading Power.. - Combine a Deposit Credit with a Deposited Week
Suggested Use: If you have a Deposit with enough Trading Power to exchange into the resort you want but would like a larger unit size OR if you need just a little extra Trading Power to get you into that resort, combine your Deposit Credit with a full Week Deposit. - Combine two or more full Weeks
Suggested Use: If you do not have any Deposit Credits or it’s a special occasion and using any one of your existing Deposits will not get you the holiday you really want, you can combine two or more full Weeks Depos
Tip: Make sure the holiday you want is available for the dates you want it before you combine two full Weeks.
Remember, you can combine as many Deposits and Deposit Credits as you want in one transaction. If possible, we suggest using Deposit Credits to combine first so you don’t have to use two full Weeks for one holiday.
How Long Does it Take Before I Can Use My Combined Deposit?
Once you select the Weeks you want to combine and pay the combine fee, you will be able to use the Combined Deposit right away. There is no wait time required between confirming the combine transaction and booking your Week. If you have found a holiday with higher Exchange Trading Power than the Deposit Trading Power of any one of your Weeks and you choose to combine Deposits, Combined Deposits or Deposit Credits you will be able to book it as soon as you complete the process to combine if you have enough Deposit Trading Power.
I Deposited My Week before the Changes Took Place, Will I Still Be Able to Use the New Features When I Exchange?
Yes. All of these enhancements apply to all deposited Weeks that have not yet been used for exchange. The Deposit Trading Power of your Week will be listed to the right of the Deposit and you will be able to view it when searching for available exchanges and make the holiday choice that’s best for you.
