How To Stretch Your
Holiday Week
RCI Holiday Guide Lim Kuo Ching tells you how to stretch your standard week’s entitlement to maximise your holiday time.
3. Deposit the following year (2008) entitlement in advance.
When you deposit a week with RCI, you are automatically given a three-year window of opportunity to exchange your week. This means that you can choose to travel one year before or two years after the start date of your week. So you don’t have to wait any longer. Just call us and let one of our Holiday Guides assist you in the planning of your long holiday to Europe or the US.
Remember that at RCI, you have more holiday options than the standard one-week holiday you own. Members tend to think that since they only have a one- week entitlement from their home resort every year, they can only travel once a year. Well, here’s the good news: You can travel more than once a year without having to use the week you own. You can choose from various RCI holiday options such as Rentals, GetAway Specials and Pack & Go Holidays. What’s more, they are available to you at exclusive member-only rates.
Call us to find out more or to book the special holiday that you have been dreaming of.
Wishing you many great holidays with RCI!

members are also surprised by the answer.
Here’s how you can maximise your holiday week, taking the example that you will be travelling in
November this year:
1. If you are planning for a holiday in November
this year, you must not have utilised the previous two years’ (2005 and 2006) weeks that you have deposited.
2. Deposit your current year (2007) entitlement.
s
owed by another question from members: “What is the maximum number of weeks I can travel on a single holiday?” The answer is: “Four weeks!” Amazed? Well, you’re not alone as many
