You can request an upgrade to your current Exchange Holiday booking by paying a fee. This service is free for RCI Platinum members. You can either make this request during the booking of your Exchange Holiday, or you can make this request up until 15 days before your holiday starts. To do this, click on ‘MY ACCOUNT’ in the navigation panel, then click on ‘Upcoming Holidays’ to go to the confirmed section of your holiday plans.
Your Upgrade and Change Request gives you three options:
• Request a larger unit at the resort you currently have confirmed;
• Request a different check-in day two days either side of your existing confirmation;
• Select a different resort in the same country or region (up to a maximum of Five resort choices), serviced by the same airport.
The system will start a search within 30-2 days prior to confirmed check-in and should a successful match be found will automatically confirm and cancel original booking.
If you are already booked into the largest possible unit type at your chosen resort, no more upgrades will be possible at this resort. However you can select up to five other resorts from a selection offered to you Please note, you will need to deselect your resort confirmation first by clicking on the right hand side box, before you are able to click ‘Save Request’ (as shown in the image below).

IMPORTANT
If you have booked consecutive Weeks, unfortunately, we are not usually able to offer upgrades for each consecutive week. Due to the nature of our Exchange Holiday network and existing bookings, we are unable to guarantee upgrades to the same unit/resort for more than one week.
If you upgrade, you may need to move accommodation units in between weeks. Please enter fixed dates for your upgrade search for the best results: Selecting flexible dates could limit your upgrade options.
