Exchanging Your Timeshare: Complete Guide to Interval International

Exchanging your timeshare can be done through multiple methods.  Internal exchanges occur when you own a specific week or points with one particular company and you would like to exchange that week or points for other units at other resorts.  Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton and others are all timeshares that allow owners to exchange their own deeded week or points for other weeks at other resorts within their own system.

Alternatively, all major timeshares are usually affiliated with one of the two major exchange companies.  RCI and Interval International (II) are the two most popular exchange companies.  RCI was the original exchange company and currently has approximately 8,000 resorts throughout the world.  Their resort directory can be found here:  http://www.rci.com/resort-directory/landing.

Interval International is the other large exchange company.  Interval has approximately 2,500 resorts in their program.   Two other exchange companies are Trading Places International and SFX Preferred Resorts. These are two smaller companies which we will further discuss in later posts.

We will go over specific functions in more detail but this is a good start to get to understand exchanging through II.
