ORLANDO, Fla. (March 28, 2011) – Just
four months after RCI revolutionized the timeshare
industry by unveiling trading
power transparency for its RCI®
Weeks subscribing members, the global leader in
vacation exchange announced its latest plan to further enhance its
weeks program: RCI Weeks PlatinumSM membership, a premium
tier of RCI membership that offers exclusive exchange privileges and
lifestyle benefits.
“Timeshare
owners are always looking for more value from their exchange provider
and RCI Weeks Platinum will provide just that – new opportunities for
priority access and special member discounts,” said Geoff Ballotti,
CEO, RCI. “After the successful debut of the RCI
Points PlatinumSM
membership tier last year, we are excited to expand this terrific
program to our RCI Weeks members as well. The RCI Weeks Platinum
membership tier will offer tremendous lifestyle benefits that our RCI
Weeks members can use and enjoy in so many different ways.”
RCI Platinum membership for the RCI Weeks program will offer
opportunities for room upgrades, exclusive “first look” access to
specially acquired vacation inventory and rebates for various RCI
transactions. In addition to these extremely exciting advancements in
vacation exchange, RCI members will have access to preferred rates at
premier ski destinations and discounted green fees at numerous golf
courses across North America. Taking the member experience even
further, RCI Weeks Platinum membership will offer valuable restaurant
discounts and preferred pricing, advance purchase and front-of-the-line
privileges for select theatre and city destination attractions.
“As the inventor of vacation
exchange, RCI is always looking to develop new products and ideas that
will give our members the best experiences and exceed the expectations
of our resort affiliates,” said Ballotti. “The RCI Weeks Platinum
membership tier brings terrific new benefits to our already popular RCI
Weeks program. We’re excited to continue delivering what our
members ask for with innovative enhancements and dozens of lifestyle
benefits that we’ll continue to build upon and expand going forward.”
