Types of Timeshare |
RCI WEEKS or RCI POINTS |
Choosing a timeshare that suites you is very important. Just as you
wouldn’t buy a truck and expect it to behave like a luxury saloon, you
shouldn’t do the same with your future holidays. Buying the right one for
you is a personal choice but you should tailor it to your needs and not a
salesman’s. |

That’s why ATR International offers a complete range of all types and styles
of timeshare to suite all tastes and budgets. |
What do
you want from your ownership? |
Firstly decide on what your main motivation on the timeshare is.
|
Will you be choosing a
particular timeshare to go there year on year at the same date? Many people
do and usually choose the more high end or specialist timeshares.
Alternatively do you want to buy the very best exchange vehicle to see the
World?

Buying for exchange – see the two types of RCI systems
|
RCI Points system.
A fluid amount you can “spend” on holidays each year without restrictions.
|
RCI Weeks system.
A rigid week for week system based on like for like trades.
|
Owning a multi destination club (MDC) with free exchange internally or
externally as above with RCI.
|
Using year on year at the same location
If you are looking to
use the same timeshare year on year
then chances are you are well on the way to choosing the location if not the
resort.
Run through our buying checklist and create your own list of
criteria listed in importance to yourself. Look for overall value for money,
tied in with reasonable management fees with a stable track record and no
owner complaints at a resort held in trust by the major trustees.
Ask if you
are unsure how to do your own checks by calling ATR International on

Buying for
exchange to see the World
Buying to get the
maximum benefits of timeshare exchange to
make
use of the RCI exchange organisation facility to visit different resorts and
countries each year.
There
are in excess of 3,600 RCI affiliated resorts world wide to choose from. To
get the best possible choices on exchange you need to choose the type of
ownership that will work best with your future holiday plans.
Depending on those plans some timeshares perform better than others in their
various sectors.
|
Weeks or
Points? |
There are benefits in both systems of exchange. Weeks is a like for like
exchange based on the award (annual) rating of your ownership and the
specific time of year you own, along with the size of unit.
Both choices are backed up by
RCI Travel who can book flights, airport transfers, car hire, ferries,
cruises and much more.
|
Points gives a much more
specific value to your timeshare week depending on the size of unit, the
week number, the privacy factor, number of bathrooms and kitchen size, along
with award rating of the resort and, unique to the points system, the key
rating of your specific unit within that resort.
You can then choose to spend
your value on a lot of low season weeks or perhaps one large week in peak,
depending on the value of points you own. Points can be from a timeshare
week or directly as pure points with RCI with no timeshare week. |
