GET CRUISIN’
When you’re ready to explore some amazing
itineraries, simply go to IntervalWorld.com,
select Cruises under the Travel tab, and use
the powerful new search engine to streamline
your search based on the criteria that matter most to you. You’ll
find cruises of every kind, from short jaunts of just a few nights to
intimate river sailings to extravagant, trip-of-a-lifetime adventures.
And if you upgrade to Interval Gold or Interval Platinum, you can
exchange your week or points toward the purchase of a cruise
through Interval Options. Look for the symbol above elsewhere in
Interval World magazine. It indicates that the cruises for sale are
also available for cruise exchange.

INSTANT CONFIRMATION
To get started, sign in to IntervalWorld.com. (If you haven’t already
created a web profile, now’s a great time to do so.) Click the Exchange
tab and enter your vacation criteria, such as desired destination(s),
travel dates, and the size of your travel party. Search for availability,
then select the week you would like to trade, or the number of points
you would like to use. If you find the exchange you want, you’ll receive
an instant confirmation, and you can start packing!
If you don’t find the exchange you want, use one of Interval’s
powerful exchange methods — Deposit First or Request First.
DEPOSIT FIRST
Use Deposit First when you know you want a different vacation
experience from your home resort. You’ll relinquish your week for
use by other members, and, in return, you’ll receive a travel window
of up to four years, allowing you to make an exchange anytime from
two years before to two years after the first day of your home resort
week — that’s a lot of time and flexibility! Since you can deposit your
week up to two years prior to your resort check-in date, we strongly
encourage you to do so, as you will enjoy greater trading power than
if you deposit a year or six months in advance.
REQUEST FIRST
If you prefer to retain your home resort week until you receive an
exchange confirmation, use Request First. It provides you the security
of having your home resort as a fallback option should you not receive
a confirmation. You can travel up to two years before the week you offer
in exchange until the dates of that week, but not after. Note: Points-
based members will always use Request First.
PLACE A REQUEST
Whether you use Deposit First or Request First, it’s important to place a
request as soon as you know where you want to go. Weeks are added
to our system daily, so the one you want may become available at any
time. And best of all, we’ll do the searching for you.
This is important:
If you don’t place a request, the vacation that
you want could be confirmed to someone who has — so don’t delay!

FOUR TIPS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL REQUEST
• Place your request as early as possible.
• Be sure to provide us with as many resort-and-date combinations
as you can.
• Think less about a specific destination and more about what
kind of vacation you want. Looking for a tropical break? Choose
several Caribbean islands rather than just one.
• Many resorts have more small units than large ones, so consider
a unit with the minimum sleeping capacity necessary to increase
your exchange opportunities.
Interval delivers a multitude of benefits you can use at home or when traveling. But the ability to exchange your resort week
or points for a new vacation experience is the centerpiece of membership. Exchange allows you to visit exciting destinations
that may otherwise be out of reach. Resorts near and resorts far. Resorts for relaxing and resorts that offer a wide variety of
activities. But how do you make it happen? Read on!
