Interval International, known to its members as just II, doesn’t sell timeshares or peddle cruises. Instead, they facilitate timeshare and vacation trades. By enforcing a strict set of quality criteria at all of their affiliated resorts, they ensure that members know what to expect from an Interval International vacation trade. With resorts of every size and character located all over the world, Interval International is a useful service for the timeshare owner.

Standout Features

• 2,400 affiliate resorts
• Trade Interval International affiliated timeshares
• Member discounts on flights, cruises, rental cars and other travel expenses
• Affordable exchange fees and membership

Club Features:   Excellent

Like RCI, Interval International doesn’t actually own any properties. Instead, they provide timeshare owners with the option to trade their vacation time with other timeshare owners. For a timeshare owner looking for a change of scenery, Interval International is an ideal means of going somewhere new.

Interval International features renowned properties from hospitality groups like Marriott Vacation Club, Four Seasons Residence Club, Westgate Resorts and countless other resort networks.

The quality of Interval International’s rooms varies substantially from resort to resort. In order to be a member of Interval International’s network of resorts and properties, affiliates must meet their quality standards. While most Interval International destinations provide all-around quality experiences, some older resorts have fallen into disrepair or get complaints regarding staff. Be sure to read up on specific resorts you might be interested in frequenting before you commit to anything.

Destinations:   Excellent

You’ll find Interval International affiliate resorts everywhere. While they currently do not have a resort on Antarctica, they’ve got the rest of the globe peppered with health spas, ski lodges, urban resorts, beachfront resorts and theme park family properties.

Membership Benefits:   Excellent

Interval International opens up particularly nice vacation options for timeshare owners with both desirable destinations and popular weeks. Obviously a November timeshare at an Atlantic City resort does not have the same weight as a New Year’s week timeshare in Hawaii. To get the most out of Interval International, it’s important that you invest in a desirable timeshare.

Member Support:   Excellent

Interval International members can make vacation exchange requests and address any issues with support staff via telephone. Specific inquiries can also be directed to Interval International by email. Interval International provides travel insurance for members.

Investment value:   Excellent

The ultimate value of the service provided by Interval International depends on the value of the associated timeshare you’re trading and the timeshare you hope to trade for. It’s entirely possible to use Interval International to add some variety to your vacationing for a reasonable price. Interval International can become more costly if you opt to purchase travel and cancellation insurance, but as for membership costs and fees the service is priced fairly. Membership with Interval International costs $84 per year. Interval International’s exchange fees are $139 per week.

Summary:  

One of the greatest disincentives to owning a timeshare is being locked into taking the same vacation year after year. By investing in a timeshare affiliated with Interval International you can add some variety to your vacationing. With their reasonable fees and a stunning variety of locations, II is an invaluable asset to the vacation owner.
