The first thing you will need to do is make sure you have an active account with RCI. Remember that although Wyndham and RCI are technically part of the same company, they operate independently so you will need to activate an RCI membership to deposit Wyndham points to RCI.
As a Wyndham points owner, you will have access to an RCI membership as part of your ownership, but you will be indirectly paying for your RCI membership through your annual club dues paid to Wyndham. Therefore, it is not actually a free RCI membership, even though it may appear to be. Wyndham weeks owners pay a separate RCI membership like any other timeshare owner.
Once you access your RCI membership, you would deposit your Wyndham points into your RCI account in order to use them to reserve accommodation. Remember you can search for an available timeshare accommodation first before depositing your points, but once points are deposited it is considered a final transaction and all points and associated booking and exchange fees are non-refundable.
Your points would be credited to your account and you can place your booking request for your accommodation into the reservation system. You’ll receive confirmation for your request and can begin planning your next vacation. Any follow up questions would be directed to RCI.
