These weeks will fill up at least 365 days in advance. All bookings are done on a first come, first serve basis and based on availability.

I am Not Happy with my Trading Power

We start depositing in the beginning of February, at the highest trading power of 18. By the middle of April, the highest trading power we have is 12. In January of the use year we will be at 10-trading power. Please make sure you pay early and deposit early. This is the only way to guarantee high trading power.

If you are on a payment plan your week will not be deposited until the final payment is processed. Your trading power will be reflected by the date of final payment.

As you own at RHG Vacation Club you will receive an RHG Vacation Club @ Georgian Bay Hotel Week or Ocean Manor Resort Week. If you received an Ocean Manor Resort Week it means the trading power for RHG Vacation Club @ GBH is lower than Ocean Manor Resort.

I am banking my week with RCI

…What Happens?

Please note you cannot call RCI and bank your week on your own. RCI does not know what type of membership you own and they may send notifications that you have weeks to deposit. Please check with Club Services to see if you actually have weeks to deposit. DEPOSITS ARE NOT DONE AUTOMATICALLY. Once a use year passes you will lose your week, unless we have extra weeks available to deposit in the use year you are inquiring about.

Once we receive your request to deposit, we will bank your week with RCI. Deposit are done on Tuesday and Friday. Club Services will NOT notify you of completed deposit. RCI sends this notification.

I want to Deposit Outside of RCI?

…Now What?

If you want to deposit a week with ICE, Diamond Resorts or any other exchange company please email club services and we will assign a week to you. Once a confirmation is sent please forward this confirmation to the independent exchange company and they will send us a release.

If you book a specific week and try to deposit it depending on the week, we will deny the deposit as we have certain weeks dedicated for deposits.
