What are Interval Getaways?

One fantastic perk of owning a timeshare is the ability to reserve additional weeks through the various exchange programs.  RCI and Interval International both have programs where you can reserve a week with cash instead of exchanging your timeshare.  You have to be a member of RCI or Interval International to be able to reserve a week but it is well worth it.

Today, I want to review the Interval Getaways.  Interval Getaways allows you to reserve a week in a studio, 1, 2, 3 or more bedroom units at timeshare resorts throughout the world.  The inventory that they make available is different that if you exchanged your timeshare.  The pricing for these getaways can be absolutely fantastic.  They have some weeks that you can reserve for as little as $277 a week.  Yes, $277 PER WEEK, ONLY $40 PER NIGHT.  I challenge anyone to find a better deal that this for a hotel room.

Interval Getaways have recently changed so that you can reserve a week up to 18 months in advance.  Inventory constantly changes so it pays to constantly check. 

In order to be able to reserve a getaway week, you need to be a member but it does not take any points from your account.  Here are some current deals that I can locate at the moment.

There are tons of other opportunities available at 5 star resorts throughout the world.  Many times a week vacation will cost as much as one night in a 5 star hotel. 

Interval Getaways offer fantastic opportunities to stay in great resorts around the world and could offer better opportunities than exchanging your timeshare.  It is definitely worth it to check out Getaway options before exchanging your unit to see if you can save money by using a Getaway instead of exchange options.
