How to Make an Exchange with Interval International
Exchange flexibility is key to making the most of your Interval membership. Whether you prefer to plan ahead or wait for the perfect opportunity, Interval exchange gives you the ability to go somewhere new and exciting. Here are the two main ways to make an exchange:
Deposit First
If you’ve decided you want to try a new destination, the Deposit First option allows you to deposit your home resort week or points into Interval International’s exchange system. This gives you a travel window of up to two years after your owned week to lock in the vacation you desire.
Request First
Prefer to hold onto your home resort time until a new reservation is confirmed? Opt for the Request First approach. This method lets you place an exchange request up to two years in advance while keeping your home resort time secured. It’s perfect if you have a specific vacation in mind but don’t want to risk losing your original reservation.
A Few Things to Remember for Exchanges
- Only Owner Time and Preferred Time can be deposited. Club Time and points upgrades aren’t eligible.
- Deposits take three to five business days to process and are irreversible.
- Points are converted into weeks for simplified exchanges within the system.
