RCI, a global travel network and leading vacation exchange platform, has renewed its co-branded credit card program with Barclays US Consumer Bank. Under this agreement, Barclays will remain the exclusive issuer of the RCI® Elite Rewards® World Mastercard®. This renewal follows the recent introduction of the Capital Vacations® World Mastercard®, also developed in collaboration with RCI.
Doug Villone, Head of Cards and Partnerships at Barclays US Consumer Bank, remarked on the extension: “This long-term contract extension with RCI reflects the power of our collaborative partnership that dates back to 2012. For over a decade, we’ve delivered value and increased loyalty and customer engagement for RCI by making it simpler for cardmembers to earn rewards for their travel and vacation experiences.”
Juan Ignacio Rodriguez, managing director at RCI, emphasized the benefits for members: “We are always looking for ways to enhance the service we provide to RCI members.
