The Village Inn Owners Association Board of Directors recently amended our agreement with RCI (Resort Condominium International) to now include the Points Exchange program as a benefit available to OVI owners. RCI Points was first introduced in 1999 with just eight participating resorts. It has now grown to include almost 1100 resorts, worldwide, and over 1,000,000 Points Members. RCI Points is the State of the Art exchange network for the Timeshare Industry of the 21st century. It offers much more flexibility and availbility than the older, increasingly outdated Weeks exchange networks offered by RCI, Interval International and other exchange companies.
RCI Points at Olympic Village Inn is only available to owners who either purchase a new ownership or a conversion through the Village Inn Owners Association. Purchases through any other sources are not eligible.
Here is how it works: Each week at each resort has a Point value, similar to the Trading Power model used in Weeks exchange programs. Unlike Trading Power that limits your choices to exchanges that are of equal or lesser value than what you own, the currency model used in the Points exchange lets you combine values by saving, borrowing or transferring which enables you to Shop for your vacations rather than Request (and hope). As a Points member, you get to see everything that is available and you decide how you want to spend your Points. You can:
- Vacation for more or less than a full week at the Olympic Village Inn, or at just under 1100 RCI Points resorts worldwide (stay as little as one night)!
- Gain exclusive access to resorts unavailable through the traditional RCI weeks exchange program. Combine all or some of your other RCI resorts for added Points value.
- Have vacations in any unit size and any season.
- Turn one ownership into multiple vacations.
- Eliminate the ongoing search process and confirm a vacation instantly.
Participation in the RCI Points program is entirely optional for Olympic Village Inn owners. For owners who primarily use their time at the resort this may or may not be of interest, but for owners who exchange, this has proven to be a topic of major interest. Since we introduced this to our owners in July 2008 the response among owners who exchange has been overwhelming. Find out how you can enjoy the benefits of Points for the lowest cost anywhere in our industry.
If you would like more information on RCI Points, to determine if it is for you, plan on attending the Timeshare 201 class the next time you are at the resort. The class is offered by Greg Rankin from Resort Realty. If you are not going to be at the resort in the near future give Greg a call at 800-882-1009
