What Is An RCI Exchange Vacation?
With the flexibility of the RCI program, you can set your travel priorities and see the world on your own terms. Shell Vacations Club Points provide members with two flexible ways to vacation.
An exchange vacation is when you use your Shell Vacations Club Points with RCI to trade for stays at 4,200+ affiliated properties worldwide. Points will be deducted from your account once you book an exchange vacation reservation. Variable Points are deducted based on the season and unit size booked.
Shell Vacations Club members also have access to access to specially curated vacations through the Select Exchange program. These unique resorts are hand-picked for Shell Vacations Club members. The best part? You have early access to book these resorts before other RCI members. Availability varies so if you’re not seeing your , try expanding your travel dates. New inventory is added regularly and these high-demand resorts go quickly, so check often.
Inventory supplied to RCI is given on behalf of all RCI members for the purpose of making an RCI vacation exchange. All inventory is subject to availability. All exchange requests are offered on a space available, first-come, first served basis. Generally the earlier an exchange request is made, the better the possibility that a confirmed exchange can be obtained. Please note an RCI exchange fee is required.
The Points needed for an exchange are based on the type of unit you want as listed in the chart below.
