The Timeshare Exchange Systems

Resort Condominiums International

A full description of how the exchange works is in your Australasian Directory book, however we give you here a brief outline of the main points of the system.

The system can be likened to a banking system with deposit and withdrawal facilities. To make an exchange deposit into the "R.C.I. Spacebank", you contact your Resort Manager, who will allocate you a booking for a "week" which you can then "Bank" with R.C.I. The Resort office can "bank" for you, if you wish. Your spacebank deposit gives you a "credit" in the bank which is good for 2 years forward or 1 year back. (i.e. a 2008 holiday can be deposited and drawn against in 2009). Your credit is not dependent on someone using your deposited time. Having made your deposit, you may request a holiday at any of the 3600+ resorts in 60 countries worldwide, at any time of the year, regardless of the time of the year you own in, or the particular week you banked.
There are 22 resorts in N Z, 61 in Australia, and 4 in Fiji.

Requests may be lodged from 2 years ahead, to as little as 2 days before you wish to holiday, but obviously the earlier the better. R.C.I. do the rest for you and confirm your request as soon as your choices are available in the spacebank.
R.C.I. is basically a club and has an annual membership fee ($95, or $57p/a with 5yr deal ). When you request an exchange, R.C.I. charge an admin fee for processing your request. This is - $139 for New Zealand (per week exchanged) - $149 for Australia and Fiji - $269 for Worldwide exchanges There are no accommodation charges or adjustments at all. Your R.C.I. membership provides you automatically each new edition of the Australasian Directory, a quarterly copy of "Holiday" magazine which is loaded with articles on holiday destinations and travel information, and other R.C.I. services, and bonus weeks which cost from $300 - $900.


R.C.I.'s address is-  PO Box 13725, Onehunga, Auckland.  Ph 0800 36 8800  Fax 09 3575295
