Bonus Weeks
Bonus Weeks are generally low-demand weeks which are often offered by timeshare developers or exchange companies as incentives to buyers or current owners. Bonus Weeks are generally the lowest-value, off-season resort weeks. In addition to being offered as incentives, they can also be purchased from the resort as unsold developer owned weeks. When Bonus Weeks are offered by exchange companies- owners of high-demand resort weeks receive them in exchange for the deposit of their more valuable timeshare week.
If you are an owner who is unable to use your timeshare, trading it for a Bonus Week through your exchange company is preferable to losing it entirely. These Bonus Weeks are sometimes referred to as "Getaway" weeks or "Vacation Escape" weeks, and are often made available for purchase by members of the specific exchange company for a nominal fee, because they are considered "excess inventory" and are likely to go unsold. Many Bonus Weeks come with specific restrictions according to location, season and holiday, and many have expiration dates.

Exchange
One of the biggest benefits of timeshares is their inherent flexibility. One of the ways this flexibility manifests itself is in the option to exchange. Owners can choose to trade their time at one resort for time at another resort within a particular network, or for time at the same resort during a different season. It is estimated that some 80% of timeshare owners take advantage of this benefit. Exchange policies vary according to resort or exchange company, so it is important to be sure of the particulars before you decide to buy timeshare.
-
Exchange Company
Exchange Companies are NOT timeshares. Exchange companies allow owners to trade their time at their "home resort" (the resort which is deeded or contracted to them) for time at any resort within the company's extensive, international network. The process works as per following:
- When an owner has a week that he or she won’t be able to use, or would like to trade for another week, he or she can deposit it with their exchange company. The week then becomes part of a bank from which other owners who've deposited their time may choose.
- If a resort is affiliated with an exchange company, owners at that particular resort are given the option to join. Membership within one of these corporations does cost a fee, but many allow owners to pay in blocks of years, rather than annually. A week's exchange value is established based on the demand for each week, the rating of the particular resort, the size of the unit and various other factors. The higher the trading value of a particular week or resort, the more luxurious or desirable a resort you can expect to get in exchange for it.
-
Exchange Company
The system that allows timeshare owners to trade the accommodations they own for comparable accommodations for travel-related services. Most resort companies are affiliated with an exchange company. Many resort companies offer an internal exchange mechanism that allows owners to exchange to resorts within their company's portfolio of resorts.
-
Exchange Confirmation
The written notice informing you that your RCI Weeks vacation has been confirmed and that resort accommodations have been reserved for your use.
-
Exchange Grid
RCI Points® subscribing members can use their Points to go to a Weeks resort. The Point value needed will depend on the RCI Weeks exchange grid. The number of points needed to make an RCI Weeks reservation will be based on the season, unit size and resort recognition status of the resort that is being confirmed as well as the region in which the resort is located. Once you access your Points account online and go to the area to search for a Weeks reservation, the Value Grid or Exchange Grid will be a listed option above the areas in which you indicate your search parameters.
-
External Exchange
The exchange of Vacation Time by an RCI Points ® . Subscribing Member through the External Exchange Program, RCI Weeks.
-
Exchange Request
A request of resort or region choices from which RCI attempts to locate a resort unit, which has comparable Trading Power.
-
This is the timeshare ownership system that a resort developer may use to permanently assign the unit and/or Week during each year of your vacation ownership.
-
Fixed Unit
Fixed Unit ensure its timeshare owner a certain room, view or living arrangement. For example, if you've paid for an ocean-view suite with a large balcony, you'll want to ensure that you'll be given the same room every time you visit, to be sure you're getting the appropriate value for your investment. Fixed Units may also be preferable if you or a family-member needs specific accommodations or if you're looking for lodging that can accommodate your pet.
-
Fixed week
A type of timeshare ownership in which usage rights attach to a specific week of the year each year in perpetuity.
-
Floating week
A type of timeshare ownership where the use rights are subject to the owner reserving his or her week within a season purchased (winter, summer, etc.) or sometimes throughout the year. A year-round "float" is most often found in resorts with similar seasons, like Hawaii or the Caribbean.
-
Floating Time
This is the timeshare ownership system for resort developers who give ownership flexibility through a variable unit and/or Week assignment during each year of your vacation ownership. A year-round "float" is most often found in resorts with similar seasons, like Hawaii or the Caribbean.
-
Fractional Ownership
The selling of resort real estate in intervals of more than one week and less than whole ownership
-
Fractional Ownership
Leisure real estate sold in intervals of more than one week and less than whole ownership. Fractionals are usually associated with the luxury segment of vacation ownership, offering greater services and amenities.
Fractional shares are also generally much larger than traditional vacation property shares. Fractionals generally vary from one-thirteenth share (1/13) to one half share (1/2). That means that, depending on the number of divisions, fractional owners can visit their vacation home anywhere from 4 to 26 weeks per year. For example, if the title is broken into 13 shares, or 1/4 of the number of weeks in each year, then each owner is entitled to one week per quarter, or 4 weeks per year.
-
Full Kitchen
Kitchen facilities that include a standard refrigerator, sink, range and a conventional oven.
-
RCI's resort recognition program honors resorts that consistently offer superior vacation experiences. The Gold Crown award requires resorts to meet more stringent standards in these areas. Additionally, Gold Crown resorts are rated highly in the areas of resort amenities, unit amenities, and guest services. Although the Gold Crown distinction is a higher award, owners at Silver Crown resorts or even standard resorts can still trade into properties with the designation.
-
Gold Crown Resort
A Gold Crown Resort is the highest rated resort category that Resort Condominiums International (RCI) designates. Gold Crown Resorts have the highest trade power within the RCI network, which means that owners of Gold Crown Resorts will have more options when exchanging their property.
The trading power of your resort is based on a number of factors including the supply of resorts in RCI's current inventory, the demand for time at that resort, the desirability of the specific week, geographic location, as well as the levels of quality and service at the resort you deposit (which will be determined by the resort rating). Gold Crown Resorts also glean a greater number of points in RCI's point-exchange program. You can expect a Gold Crown Resort to represent the epitome of luxury, quality and service.
-
Guest Certificate
Guest Certificates allow owners to send a friend or family member on vacation and to lodge at their timeshare unit. The Guest Certificate documentation is provided by the exchange company and is usually affiliated with a resort. Guest Certificates are just another way that timeshares are more flexible than other vacation accommodation options. With deeded timeshares, your usage time each year can be given as a gift or rented to others to cover your maintenance fees, for example.
For owners who won't be able to use their week for whatever reason, members can gift their actual week or number of points to a guest along with a Guest Certificate, legitimizing the transfer.
-
Guest Certificate
An RCI Member benefit that enables you to give an exchange confirmation to non-member friends or family members age 21 or older, for an additional fee. Some restrictions may apply.
-
Rather than offering a unit of usage time at a particular resort or property, Holiday Clubs and Vacation Clubs are programs that offer timeshare weeks at a number of (oftentimes international) resorts within a particular network.
Many vacation clubs utilize a points program, which, rather than assigning owners a specific week and resort that they may use each year, assigns owners a certain number of points. These points can then be used to "purchase" time at one of the in-network properties each year. Owners can choose to visit a different in-network resort each time their points renew, or they can "bank" or save up points to vacation at more luxurious or highly-desirable resorts, or during more desirable travel seasons. Not all vacation clubs work off a points program; some allow for straight week-to-week exchange, so it's important to consult with your resort or timeshare reseller to determine which method your club uses.
Popular examples of Holiday or Vacation Clubs include Hilton Grand Vacations Club, Worldmark by Wyndham and Hyatt. Ownership with a property within one of these clubs generally grants access to many of their other resorts, but it is important to be clear on your arrangement. It's important to discern individual resort policies, especially those regarding resale, before you buy timeshare with a Holiday Club or Vacation Club.

The member decides which weeks to convert and which to leave in Weeks, one deposit at a time (up to four weeks a year). If the member chooses to take the points, that deposit is moved to RCI Points inventory and instead of confirming an "exchange", the member will reserve RCI Points resorts or RCI Points Partner services. To take advantage of this opportunity, and to determine how many Points you can receive, call 1-877-968-7476.

-
Season
Each resort will have different seasons. This will have a significant impact on the desirability and therefore the demand of any timeshare property. Because demand affects price and trading power within an exchange company, seasonal fluctuation is an important consideration to factor into your decision to buy, sell or rent timeshare property.
RCI has similar ways of measuring a timeshares value and demand for exchange purposes. RCI designates its High Season Weeks as Red, its Mid Season Weeks as White, and its Low Season Weeks as Blue.
-
Sinking fund

Space Banking
Space Banking is synonymous with "banking," and is just another reason that timeshares are more flexible than other vacation properties. If timeshare owners can't use their week one year, or if they want to trade their time at their home resort for time at another resort within the exchange network, they may Space Bank their week.
Essentially, they are putting their week into the exchange company's inventory to be stored until next year, or to be traded for time elsewhere. It is important for owners to understand that once they've banked a week, the occupancy rights for that week now belong to the exchange company. Someone else will be booked into that time slot, and it will no longer be available for use during that year.

-
A term used to describe a method of use and/or shared ownership of vacation real estate where purchasers acquire a period of time (often one week) in a condominium, apartment or other type of vacation accommodation. The cost of a timeshare unit is divided between multiple owners, thereby making it possible for owners to vacation at an elegant resort for far less money than it would cost to purchase a unit outright, lease a property, or rent a hotel room for an extended period of time or on an annual basis. Timeshares also make available the option to exchange time at an owner's given resort for time at other resort locations around the world.
Timeshare units also tend to be larger and more luxuriously appointed than hotel or motel rooms. That's because there are so many owner's "pitching in" on the amenities and service. Timeshare is also known as "vacation ownership."
-
Time Division
Demand is generally based on season, and different seasons and locations will, of course, garner different levels of demand. For example, timeshares in tropical locations with a pleasant year-round climate can boast high-demand, and therefore higher rates, throughout the year. However, timeshares in seasonal locations like Cape-Cod may have high-demand seasons during the summer, and low-demand seasons during the winter months. In areas with a rainy or hurricane season, these weeks will generally be of low demand and therefore lower cost.
Exchange companies and many timeshare management companies now use color-coded classifications to determine the Time Division, demand and desirability of a particular interval week. For more information, see "Season".
-
Trial Membership
A product offered after the initial sales tour consisting of travel-related products and services packaged with an opportunity to experience the resort developer’s primary vacation ownership product within a defined period. Sometimes called a "sampler" program.
-
Trustees
Where timeshares are concerned, Trustees are a financial institution (such as a bank or a trust company) or group of individuals who hold timeshare properties and leisure facilities in trust on behalf of the owners. A timeshare buyer's right to use agreement is granted through the Trustees through a license or a Certificate of Ownership. Some trustees may have added responsibilities such as ensuring the continuity of the Owners Club.
-
Trading Power
The value assigned to deposited Vacation Time and to the related exchange request. Trading Power is the basis upon which the system searches on the RCI SPACEBANK® system for comparable Vacation Time. The value assigned to your Vacation Time is based on these factors: supply and demand, RCI Comment Card scores for your Home Resort, your unit type, the seasonal designation of your Vacation Time, and how early you deposited it in the RCI SPACEBANK® system.
-
Trading power
A term used for the value assigned for exchange purposes to a member’s deposited vacation time. Trading Power is based on a number of factors such as: season, week type, usage type, unit type and resort quality (in terms of amenities, reputation and rating). A week's Trading Power is also based heavily on supply and demand. For example, a high-demand week at a luxury resort could be traded for two weeks at the same resort during the off season, or for two weeks at a lower-demand facility during a peak season. By the same token, if you're trading within a points program, an interval week with high Trading Power will naturally glean a greater number of points.
-
Travel Dates
