Introduction

RCI, or Resort Condominium International, is one of the largest vacation exchange networks in the world. For those who are unfamiliar, RCI allows members to exchange their timeshare weeks at one resort for a week at another resort within the network. As we approach the year 2024, many RCI members are wondering what the RCI calendar will look like for that year.

What is the RCI Calendar?

The RCI calendar is a schedule that outlines when members can book and exchange their timeshare weeks within the network. This calendar is released in advance so that members can plan their vacations accordingly. Each year, the RCI calendar is updated to reflect any changes or updates to the network.

What Can We Expect in 2024?

As of now, the RCI calendar for 2024 has not been released. However, based on previous years, we can expect to see the calendar released sometime in the fall of 2023. The calendar will likely include the same booking windows and exchange periods as previous years.

Booking Windows

Booking windows are the periods of time when RCI members are able to book their timeshare weeks. There are several booking windows throughout the year, each with its own set of rules and restrictions.

Deposit First Window

The first booking window is known as the Deposit First Window. During this period, members can deposit their timeshare weeks and request an exchange. This window is typically open from mid-November to mid-December.

Request First Window

The second booking window is known as the Request First Window. During this period, members can request an exchange without having to deposit their timeshare week first. This window is typically open from mid-December to mid-January.

Deposit Ongoing Window

The third booking window is known as the Deposit Ongoing Window. During this period, members can deposit their timeshare weeks and request an exchange, but priority is given to members who deposited during the Deposit First Window. This window is typically open from mid-January to mid-February.

Request Ongoing Window

The fourth booking window is known as the Request Ongoing Window. During this period, members can request an exchange without having to deposit their timeshare week first, but priority is given to members who deposited during the Deposit First Window. This window is typically open from mid-February to mid-March.

Exchange Periods

Exchange periods are the periods of time when RCI members are able to take their exchanged vacations. These periods vary depending on the resort and the time of year.

Red

The Red exchange period is the most popular and typically the most expensive. This period is reserved for peak travel times, such as holidays and school breaks. Keep in mind that RCI members must deposit a Red week in order to exchange for another Red week.

White

The White exchange period is less expensive than the Red period and is typically reserved for shoulder seasons. Members do not need to deposit a White week in order to exchange for another White week.

Blue

The Blue exchange period is the least expensive and is typically reserved for off-peak travel times. Members do not need to deposit a Blue week in order to exchange for another Blue week.
