Discounted rental time available for owner's use in addition to the week(s) owned. Always subject to availability. There are two major categories - one being the ability to call your own resort and request a rental, the other being the ability to call an exchange company and request a rental.The term Bonus Time usually refers to calling your own resort and requesting say a weekend, typically no more than 14 days in advance. Rental of time from an exchange company is officially given a different term such as RCI's "Vacation EscapesĀ®". The rates on these are very good and the space becomes available in resorts where there is an excess of availability, which is most usually NOT during the high season.
