Interval International (II) is a vacation exchange network that lets timeshare owners trade their week or points for stays at other resorts around the world. If your resort is affiliated with II, your one timeshare can open the door to thousands of destinations. Here's how it works and why owners love it.


Interval International at a Glance

  • What it is: a membership-based timeshare exchange network

  • Network: more than 3,000 affiliated resorts in over 80 countries

  • Who can join: owners at II-affiliated resorts

  • Extras: Getaways, an Interval Gold upgrade and member travel perks


How Interval International Works

The exchange process takes just a few steps.


  1. Own at an affiliated resort. Your home resort must be part of the Interval network.

  2. Join as a member. Membership is annual, and many resorts enroll new owners automatically.

  3. Deposit your week. You give your week or points to the exchange pool.

  4. Search and request. Look for the resort, dates and unit size you want, or set up an ongoing request.

  5. Confirm and travel. When a match comes through, you get a confirmation and go.

Top Reasons to Be an Interval International Member

Owners stay members for more than just exchanges.


  • Exchange flexibility to try new destinations every year

  • A worldwide network of quality resorts, from Mexico to Europe

  • Getaways: extra resort stays you can book without depositing a week

  • Interval Gold and Platinum upgrades with added travel benefits

  • Online booking and member support to plan your trip

  • Planning tools like ShortStay Exchange for shorter trips

  • Quality standards across affiliated resorts


TN Tip

Deposit your week as early as you can. Earlier deposits usually give you more choices when you search.

Start With a Free Timeshare

Why is it free? Owners who no longer use their timeshare pass it on to someone who will. You take over for $0, with no closing costs or transfer fees, and a title and transfer company handles the paperwork in about 60 to 90 days. Depending on timing, some listings include a free week for the new owner, with the maintenance fee already paid.
