Resort Charge at Check In

[Kevin Hayes]

I am unfamiliar with renting points but from time to time I see some listings state there is a $95 (for example) resort check in fee. Can someone explain when a DVC resort charges a "check in" fee ?

For a RCI exchange into DVC.

You'd be renting an RCI exchange, which is a violation of RCI policy and could result in cancellation.

Yep, that is an illegal sale of an RCI trade into DVC. You can use or gift an RCI trade. But not sell it.

Don't ever "purchase" any DVC listing that has the $95 exchange fee.

Also be wary of seven day stays, starting on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. That's another clue to an RCI trade. Plus you can just ask the owner of the reservation if it is an RCI trade. Ask for a copy of their reservation. It should look different from a direct DVC reservation.
