To know how timeshare works, you must to have an
understanding of Exchange Power and the Power of
Exchanging.
You will learn how to optimize the most with the units you now
own in the RCI Weeks Program and the best kept secret, on
how to exchange.
Note: There are over 4,000 resorts in the RCI system of which
over 950 resorts have chosen to convert over to the RCI Points
Program. Oyster Pointe Resort and Oyster Bay Resort are two of
the resorts that have joined the RCI Points Program.
We will first go over how the weeks exchange system
works and why it doesn't work. We will also show you how
you can get around the rules. The more flexible you are the
better.

Exchange Power is based on the Trading Power Rules.
Trading Power consists of the following:
1. The Size of the unit you are Depositing.
2. The Demand of the Resort you are Depositing.
3. The Demand of the Resort area you are Depositing.
4. The Season Red, White or Blue you are Depositing.
5. The status Gold Crown, International Distinction or Standard/Hospitality you are
Depositing.
There are really only two ways to make great exchanges. One way is to purchase a Gold
Crown Resort that is in a very demanded area with 2 or 3 Bedrooms in a high season. You
will then be able to go where you want, when you want to go. The problem with that is you will
be spending from $25,000 to $40,000 or more.
OR
Know how the system works and be a little flexible. Let me explain.
Lets say, you spent the big money and own one of the best resorts, on a scale of 1 to 10
based on your Trading Power you are a 10. Lets say, I own a 1 bedroom Standard unit in the
middle of no where, in off season. Now we are both trying to make an exchange to go to the
same location 6 months away. When you call RCI you will be told about all the wonderful
choices you have to pick from. Now I call at the exact same time and ask to go to the same
location, now remember what I am trying to trade. When I call, all I hear is there is nothing
available. That is because from 1 to 10 in the trading power rules I am a 2 or a 3.
NOW WAIT, the salesperson that sold me my timeshare told me that I could go anywhere in
the RCI book when I wanted to go. HA HA.
You see the people that are paying big money really deserve to get the best exchanges and
that is really how the system works. But, there is a way around the Trading Power Rules. On a
normal exchange, 46 days to 2 years in advance, that is exactly how the system works. But,
RCI in it's wisdom saw that they were loosing millions of dollars in units that remained empty
and not used. You see, RCI makes it's money by charging exchange fees and if owners don't
qualify to make exchanges the units remain empty and they don't receive the exchange fees.
So what they did was come up with a rule most RCI owners don't know about or really don't
understand, the Power of the Instant Exchange. An Instant Exchange is what it was called
years ago and some of the new employees at RCI are not familiar with that term, but the
same rules still apply.
