Timeshare Exchange Companies
How timeshare exchange works in general, and the two networks that run it.

Interval International Timeshare Exchange
How the network works, what its membership tiers and exchange fees cost, how big it is, and how it compares with RCI.
The Interval International timeshare exchange, known as II, is the second large network for trading timeshare time, alongside RCI. As a member you deposit the week or points you own and book a stay at another affiliated resort, for an annual membership plus a fee on each exchange. The figures here are approximate, so confirm current rates with the company.
What is Interval International?
II is one of the two major networks for trading timeshare time. It is Interval International, the other major timeshare exchange network alongside RCI, with more than 3,000 affiliated resorts in over 80 countries. It is known for a strong set of higher-end affiliated resorts, and like RCI it is a network many owners are enrolled in through their home resort rather than by choosing it directly. The alternative network is the RCI timeshare exchange.
How does the exchange work?
The process mirrors other exchanges. You join as a member, deposit the week or points you own, and request a stay at another affiliated resort within availability, paying an exchange fee for each confirmed trade. The network also offers member benefits such as shorter getaway stays at extra cost. As with any exchange, popular resorts and peak seasons are easier to book the earlier you plan.
What does it cost, and how big is the network?
II charges an annual membership, which is tiered, plus a fee for each exchange. The figures below are approximate and change often, so confirm the current rates with the company before relying on them.

Membership tiers explained
The network offers a basic membership and higher tiers that add benefits for a higher annual fee. The upper tiers bundle extras such as additional getaways, guest privileges, and accommodation guarantees. Whether a higher tier is worth it depends on how often you travel and how much you would use those benefits. Many owners first receive membership through the developer they bought from, then choose whether to renew or upgrade later.
Is the exchange worth it?
The same honest test applies as with any exchange. If you will genuinely use it to stay at different affiliated resorts and can book ahead, the membership and exchange fees buy real flexibility. If you tend to return to the same place or rarely travel, the fees may add cost without much benefit. Weigh them against your travel habits and the full cost of owning a timeshare, and to see how it compares with the larger network, read RCI versus Interval International.
