RCI TV – New Timeshare Exchange Tool

RCI has just launched a great new resource that will help you tremendously with your timeshare exchange planning. It’s called RCITV. It is a new and innovative technology that enhances the member experience by delivering important information through videos.

RCI TV offers an entertainment and educational network packed with stories about RCI, products and services, and travel and resort information.

It is hosted by the friendly “Dan The RCI Guy” and consists of different channels that you can click on to find out more. As of now the 5 channels consist of; 35th Anniversary, Meet RCI, New Launches, Previews and Destination Reviews. Unless you want background and promotional information about RCI, you can skip the first two channels.

The New Releases channel demonstrates how to use RCI’s new search feature, Enhanced Search. Enhanced search has radically changed the online experience by providing members with a broad view of the real-time exchange vacations available to them and the ability to search using filters to help them find the exact vacation experience they want.

On the Preview channel, Dan talks about the new features that are expected in the near future. Some nice enhancements to come are email notifications of the status of your current search, instant confirmations, comparing side by side or two resorts at once, and personal resort recommendations based on your previous exchanges.

On the Destination Reviews channel you will find excellent recommendations for things to do on your timeshare exchange in different vacation areas. Each video is only about 5 minutes long, shot in HD, and worthy of being on The Travel Channel.

There are currently 14 different vacation destinations with many more to come. The videos on Hilton Head Island and Cabo San Lucas, two places I have lived and worked, included just about everything I would recommend to someone heading there.

There will be a new channel called “Resort Showcase” to show different resorts in HD. They currently have 50 registered resorts, but the channel is not active yet. This will be a great resource to use when doing a timeshare exchange, especially now that you can see availability in real time. Now, instead of looking at some old photos of a resort you’re interested in, you’ll be able to view new HD videos of the resort.

This is what the President and CEO of RCI had to say:

“The response to RCI TV and our Resort Showcase channel has been overwhelmingly positive. The response in Mexico alone was so tremendous that both the developers and the government of that great ‘resort nation’ asked us to develop a destination promotion along with a whole -including to help highlight the many features all-inclusive resorts have to offer. It’s streaming now on RCI.com. This is just one more way we’re working to support and promote our affiliates around the world.” .

When making a timeshare exchange, we need all the help we can get, and RCI TV promises to be a very useful tool.
