RCI with Resale?

[disneyhutson]

Do DVC resale contracts get to use RCI? Or is that one of the few things you lose by going resale?

 

[disneynutz]

Currently resale and direct buyers can use restricted RCI inventory.

Disney is free to change their policies, restrictions, and perks as they wish, when they wish.

DVC Direct and Resale are the same RCI inventory and rules as of now?

Yes, that is correct. No difference as far as RCI trades go.

Always have been the same, and probably not changeable based on how an owner purchased. That would require approval by RCI and I doubt they'd agree to anything which would reduce DVC exchange inventory.

As Bill said above, DVC could change the rules for everybody, change exchange companies, or eliminate exchanges altogether. But they recently signed another contract with RCI that has 4-5 years to run, I believe.

For those who don't know, DVC/RCI options were greatly expanded a few months ago and now include the vast majority of RCI-affiliated resorts. Far more choices that the previous <600 resorts.

I don't think loss of the main exchange company is a true risk but loss of the BVTC likely is a risk.
