One of the keys to making the most of your RCI Points membership is knowing the best time to book your Points Exchange Vacation.
A Reservation Window is essentially a window of opportunity when you can request a specific type of reservation with less competition from other RCI Points Members.
Each type of reservation at RCI affiliated resorts has its own associated Reservation Window, and as a Points member you have exchange opportunities in both our RCI Weeks and RCI Points Programmes.
Exchanges in the RCI Weeks Programme can be booked up to 2 years in advance of the desired travel date, and you also have exclusive access to exchange opportunities in the RCI Points Programme from 10 months before your desired travel date.
