As I recently posted, Interval International recently provided some select users with additional accommodations certificates.  In case you are unfamiliar with accommodations certificates, here is a post that I did on these giveaways that give you a "free" week where you only pay an exchange fee of $274. 

In this past month, I was given 2 extra accommodations certificates to bring the total available to me to 3.  Many times, there are less than desirable properties or timeframes but on occasion, there can be some tremendous weeks available but generally only available at last minute options. 

As a timeshare owner, I have learned that you need to plan well in advance in order to get great weeks.  I have been successful with this strategies and get a tremendous amount of value out of my timeshare. 

However, since I am accustomed to planning so far out, when these accommodations certificates become available, I can rarely use them as I am generally all booked up for my travel for the next 1-2 years. 

I HATE to see these weeks go to waste as I periodically look at some of the offers and there can be some stellar resorts and locations available.  In this post, I pointed out some diamonds in the rough that I found in previous examples. 

OFFERING READERS THE CHANCE TO GET A WEEK FOR ONLY $274

For this post, I wanted to try something different.  Instead of having these go to waste, I wanted to see if any of my readers could use one or more of these accommodations certificate.  

The issue with these certificates are that inventory changes rapidly.  If something good comes up, you have to act quickly in order to get it.  Therefore, it could be difficult to do since I have to be available to search and my reader needs to be available to confirm.  

However, I thought that we can give this a shot and see if one or more of my readers can score a awesome resort for only $274 for the week.  

I have been searching with these accommodations certificates myself and have seen some actual ski weeks in Breckenridge or Vail and high quality resorts in Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Cabo San Lucas. 

THE RULES

Here is how it will work. 

1. Review the chart below of available locations and the available time period.  The availability will generally be March or April, 2018 

2. Post in the comment section your desired location and your desired week. 

3.  I will monitor these comments and try to search for the requested destinations and resorts and post availability.    

4.  If I find something, I will reply to your comment and you should get notified. 

5.  You will then need to email me at [email protected]. 

6.  I will request readers cover the exchange fee of $274 but I will provide the guest certificate (I get free guest certificates for being an Interval Platinum Member). 

This is an experiment and hope that my readers find this useful and hope that at least one, two or three readers can get a great week for only $274. 

If this is successful, I hope to be able to offer additional weeks or offers in the future!

Also, please indicate in the comments whether you like this offer or want to see more of these offers in the future!
