MAXIMIZE YOUR
TRADING POWER
Remember this key fact:
Your trading power is not
only determined by the
resort quality and the
demand of the week that
you relinquish, but also by
a factor that you’re in
complete control of: the
lead time of your deposit.
If you deposit two years in
advance of your home
resort week, your trading
power will be greater than
if you do so, say, six
months in advance. Better
still, your power is locked
in at the time of your
deposit. That’s powerful.
PLACE A
REQUEST ASAP
Here’s another fact: 97
percent of Interval
exchange requests result
in a confirmation.* And
when you place a request
early — up to two years
before the check-in date
of your week — you give
yourself a larger travel
window.
EXPAND
YOUR OPTIONS
When it comes to making
an exchange, being
flexible can make all the
difference in the world.
Here’s an easy rule to
remember: When you
place a request, always
include:
n
Three different resorts
and one time period
n
One resort and three
time periods or
n
Two resorts and two
time periods
IT PAYS TO GO SMALL
Multiple-bedroom units
are great for large groups.
But if your traveling party
can comfortably function
in a smaller space, you’d
be wise to go for it. That’s
because resorts often
have more studios and
one-bedroom units than
larger ones. To improve
your exchange
opportunities, request the
smallest-sized unit that
will accommodate you and
your vacation companions.
FLEXIBILITY AT YOUR
FINGERTIPS
Put more change in your
exchange.With E-Plus
®
,
you can retrade your
confirmed exchange up to
three times. You can
change destinations,
resorts, and/or travel dates
— up until 24 hours before
check-in. Just purchase E-
Plus when you place a
request or within five days
of receiving your
confirmation to take
advantage of this exciting
benefit.
GOT POINTS?
If you’re a member at a points-based club, place a request and keep your points until we confirm that you have enough to make
the exchange you have chosen. Some members who trade with points can exchange online; others have to contact their club.
The TDI and unit size are among the factors used to determine the number of points you will need to confirm an exchange.
