Graham and Diane Hickman own a two bedroom holiday apartment in Cornwall. And, by trading in weeks at their apartment through membership of Owner Exchange Club, the couple have now arranged holidays to Madeira, California, Cape Town - and even a trip to Florida with the grandchildren.
"The scheme seemed too good to be true when we got the call. We started looking at the destinations available and were spoilt for choice! By trading in time at our apartment, we have been able to spend the same holiday time overseas."
"The income we generate through the rental of our holiday apartment allows us to finance our trips abroad to resorts. Having such a selection of resorts makes finding somewhere to go really easy and once the RCI system goes online later this year, booking our next holiday will be even easier!"
Simon Law, VP Property, explained: “Our exclusive Owner Exchange Club gives you a chance to holiday around the world, without losing the benefits of having a second home and the income that can generate. Many owners are now splitting their time between their own property and one of our affiliated resorts, ensuring they make the most of their holidays, without it costing the earth.
And, all they need to do is deposit a minimum of two weeks at their property with the Club and then decide which of RCI’s 4,000 affiliated resorts they are going to spend their credited points on.”
