Interval International (II) and Starwood Vacation Network recently enhanced your External Exchange process. Owners will see a host of new features when it comes to viewing available assignments when requesting an exchange. These new features will also apply to any previously assigned and available 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015 Use Right assignments.
What’s New
Owners and II Vacation Planning Counselors will now see the specific Use Year (s), Home Resort, villa type and expiration date of your assignment in your II account.
You will now have up to 36 months (previously 30 Months) to use your Assignment.
You have an additional 6 months to complete your travel and your assignment will now be valid until December 31, two years after the Use Year deposited.
You maintain your ability to assign your Vacation Ownership Interest (VOI) directly with II (by phone or online) without calling Owner Services.*
Owners may now take advantage of Interval’s Deposit First exchange method, in addition to the Request First method previously available.
Exchanging is Easy
Signing into IntervalWorld.com is the fastest and easiest way to exchange. Click the Exchange tab, search for availability and then pick the Vacation Ownership Interest (VOI) you wish to exchange.
If you don’t immediately find the available exchange you are looking for, be sure to start an ongoing request using either of the following two exchange choices with II:
Deposit First – Use Deposit First when you know you won’t be traveling to your Home Resort or an SVN resort during the Use Year. Once you assign your VOI, you will have up to three years —a year in advance and up to two years after — to request and complete your exchange travel.
Request First – You can search availability with II without assigning your VOI. You can start an exchange request up to 1 year in advance and through December 24 of the Use Year you wish to exchange. If your exchange is not confirmed by December 24 of the Use Year, you must contact II or Owner Services to assign your VOI to maintain your ability to exchange it in a future year.
Take $35 off** the standard exchange fee when you confirm an exchange using your VOI to confirm into a SVN villa resort through Interval International. Plus, you’ll save an additional $20 when you complete your exchange online.
For more information regarding these updates, please visit intervalworld.com or call 877 782 7088.
Excludes Sheraton Vistana Resort Courts, Falls, Spas, Palms and Springs VOI’s not participating in SVN membership who continue to assign directly with Interval International. Coral Vista Villas VOI’s participate in Interval Points exchange program.
It may take up to 72 hours for the verification process for Request First exchanges.
*Your annual fees associated with your VOI must be paid in full at the time of your request to assign your VOI for External Exchange for a current or future Use Year and at the time you initiate an exchange request with Interval International.
**Trade into any Starwood Vacation Ownership resort to qualify for the discount. Non-Starwood Vacation Ownership resorts are not permitted in exchange requests.
