ABOUT TIMESHARE POINTS

Timeshare points are an increasingly popular alternative to owning a traditional, fixed-week of holiday timeshare. rather than owning a right to occupy a pre-determined sized unit within a particular timeshare resort, members of holiday points timeshare clubs own a fixed set amount of annually allotted apartments (commonly known as timeshare points). The points can be used to book holiday accommodation at a variety of resorts in various sizes of accommodation and at different periods of the year. In general, points are designed to provide much more flexibility.

RCI Points is a totally flexible holiday ownership system with around 4,000 Resort Destinations available in over 100 countries at any time of the year, requesting any size of accommodation available. As well as exchange weeks of holidays, short breaks are available as well as cottage holidays, hotel breaks, cruises etc.

HOW DO TIMESHARE POINTS WORK?

With much more variations on the same theme, some timeshare points clubs may operate in different ways and have their very own unique benefits, pro's and con's. However, on the whole, timeshare points clubs allow members to spend, save,or borrow, their allocation of points.

So, if a points owner has a yearly allocation of 100,000 points, he or she may be able to use 40,000 points to book one week in the USA, in a 2 bedroom unit and another 20,000 points to book one week in France in a 1 bedroom unit. The points owner has effectively spent,60,000 points and can "save" the remaining 40,000 points to carry forward towards next years summer or winter holidays.

The timeshare points value of a week of holiday accommodation is based upon different aspects, such as a number of bedrooms, quality of destination and resort, and the time you choose to holiday.You may also find that in certain areas of the world they provide high quality accommodation at lower points values, as the cost of living in that area of the world will certainly be a factor in calculating a particular resorts points value.
