There are four tiers of ownership, depending on the number of points your ownership falls under. Each level of membership allows owners certain perks. These include advanced booking windows or additional time to bank or borrow points.
Owners of Welk Resorts timeshare can spend their points to stay at any of the Welk properties, or even trade them on RCI. RCI is the world’s first vacation exchange platform, allowing members to trade their weeks or points for stays at thousands of other properties and destinations around the world.
