RCI, the global leader in vacation exchange and part of the Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE: WYN) family of brands, recently announced an agreement with Divi Resorts that gives members at all five of its RCI®-affiliated resorts in Aruba and St. Maarten the opportunity to opt for RCI Points Platinum memberships.

"RCI Platinum is a premium-tier membership option that opens up a world of vacation opportunities for our members," said Gordon Gurnik, president, RCI. "Since its debut last year, the RCI Platinum membership has been met with positive responses from members who notice that their vacation experiences have been taken to a whole new level, which adds value to the products that affiliates like Divi Resorts offer vacationers."

• Experiential Vacation Exchange, which gives members the opportunity to use their Deposit Trading Power toward discounts on vacation experiences such as safaris and tours of the Galapagos
• Platinum Cruise Exchange, which offers an additional $25 USD off per cabin when compared to standard RCI membership and a greater choice of cruise options
• A higher rate of Cash Back rewards through the RCI Shopping PerksSM program than regular members receive
