Festiva pays the first year enrollment fee for all new members to use the exchange benefits through RCI WEEKS program. RCI works with over 4,000 resort locations worldwide to provide members the opportunity to exchange their home resort week to travel to any of their affiliate resorts.

RCI WEEKS resorts are ranked by color season and by Group RCI Resort Recognition Program (Gold Crown Resort , Silver Crown Resort , Hospitality Resort and Standard Resort). These color seasons indicate the value of the week based on the overall demand for that property during certain times of the year. The following are the various color seasons RCI uses to rank their properties.

1- Red – Highest Demand Periods
2- White – Mid level demand periods
3- Blue – Low level demand periods

A cabin week on the boat is valued as a Red Season property with RCI WEEKS. Therefore a member can exchange, week for week to into any available properties with RCI.

About Group RCI a Wyndham Worldwide Company

What is Trading Power?

RCI prioritizes exchange requests according to established Trading Power guidelines. The Trading Power of your deposit is based on the supply, demand, and usage of the week, resort and area you deposit. Other factors that influence your deposit's Trading Power include season, unit configuration, the resort's Vacation Experience Profile, and how early you deposit the vacation time with RCI. Depositing your week in our Deposit System early, and submitting an exchange request well in advance, maximizes your opportunity to confirm a desired exchange.
