Let us call and talk to RCI for you

Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.

We can get a live person on the line for you

That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.
GetHuman researchers routinely call this RCI phone number to document the phone system.
Here is our latest tip for weaving through the phone menu to get to a real person the fastest: Press 6

What are the hours and when should I call?

RCI operates the call center for this 800-338-7777 phone number Mon-Fri 8am-8pm, Sat 8am-5pm ET. The short answer is that you should call on a Wednesday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 72 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the RCI call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this RCI phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like RCI staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call RCI is Saturday. The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 550% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 72 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Thursday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Tuesday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call RCI

In summation, the best day to call RCI is Wednesday.

Why Customers Call RCI

If you have time to do a bit of reading before you call RCI, we recommend you read over some of our problem-specific articles.

What is the cancellation policy for RCI bookings?

RCI has a flexible cancellation policy for its bookings. If you need to cancel your reservation, you must notify RCI at least 45 days prior to your scheduled arrival date. By doing so, you will be eligible for a full refund of your deposited points or fees. However, if you cancel within 45 days of your arrival date, your points or fees will be forfeited. It is important to note that cancellation policies may vary depending on the specific resort or accommodation you have booked with RCI, so it is recommended to review the individual cancellation terms before making any changes. RCI understands that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and they strive to provide a fair cancellation policy while ensuring customer satisfaction.

Can I transfer my RCI membership to someone else?

No, RCI memberships cannot be transferred to someone else. Memberships are strictly non-transferable and can only be used by the individual or the family mentioned during the initial membership sign-up.

For instance, if the original member is unable to travel, they can designate a guest certificate in someone else's name so that they may enjoy the benefits. Additionally, RCI allows members to gift or rent their exchanged weeks to friends or family members. These options ensure that the membership remains valuable and flexible while still adhering to the non-transferable policy.

More RCI Customer Service Contacts

There are of course other ways to contact RCI customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.

RCI Customer Help Desk / Web Support

rci.com - Customer Service
Online customer service support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- RCI customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
