It's with this commitment in mind that Disney Vacation Club has formed a relationship with RCI, the world's largest vacation-exchange company, effective Jan. 1, 2009.
While Members will continue to choose from more than 500 destinations across six continents and 25 countries, the enhanced Member Getaways program will offer a significantly broader range of resort experiences, length-of-stay options (including more nightly exchanges) and more.
Members will receive more details by mail and here on the Web site beginning in late December, and the new Vacation Planner is scheduled to begin mailing in the late spring.
To ensure a smooth transition to RCI, Members may continue to confirm available exchanges through the current World Passport Collection through Dec. 31, 2008, and all exchanges booked by that deadline will be honored."
Not sure if this means that DVC is dropping II or just adding RCI, but I am wondering about that last sentence  . Crossing fingers that it is just adding RCI.
If DVC does drop II, I'm sure that members will be complaining loudly. |
It looks as if as long as u deposit into II before 12/31/08 - you will be fine.
They will not allow you to do any more II deposits after that date.....so you would have 2 years to use a 12/31/08 deposit to trade////or, if you were depositing 2009 points - it would be 2 years beyond that - I am unsure how DVC handles deposits - any exchanges that are already made will of course be honored....
EDIT - the BAD news is the phrase A SMOOTH TRANSITION which to me implies you are moving from one company to the other....
Transition 1
Definition: Passage from one place or state to another; charge; as, the transition of the weather from hot to cold.
Definition: Change from one form to another.
Definition: A passing from one subject to another.
NOTHING about these definitions suggests you get to keep BOTH
