[2010] Interval International 2 weeks for 1 Deposit Deal

After a long and difficult divorce I unfortunately have quite a bit of experience with lawyers and they have quite a bit of my money.

But the lawyer jokes sure brightened up my day, thanks!

Here's a really OLD fav of mine:

What's 10,00) lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

....
.
....
A start!

Thanks nodge....but I have a question as I'm a newbie who has never exchanged before. Do I wait to call until after i have an exchange? (I already deposited two weeks, but haven't tried to exchange yet as I'm not sure how to do it)
 
Yes - this offer is only good for a deposit for which you have ALREADY made an exchange, but the exchange is still in the future. You can't call and get the $150 deal, unless you already have a regular exchange in place.
 
I CANNOT get through to this guy! I redialed him 128 times today! :doh: :doh: :doh:

Nodge - do you get points with II by getting people to call that number??? :rofl:
 
Update - he's off today and Sat.! :doh:
 
Here's another little tip - during the month of July, all of CA and Lake Tahoe are excluded from this offer, except for Palm Springs.
 
Another tip - Shrt Stays exchange -not allowed for 2 for 1

I just booked two exchanges using two of my already reserved weeks.

However, YOU CANNOT Book using a SHORT STAY week. I had booked one of my weeks earlier into two Short Stays coming up in June and July. Short Stays are not allowed to be booked as a 2 for 1.


Nodge - your tip saved me a lot of money....WOW....great deal.
I saved over $1000 doing this with your tip.:cheer:

Just reserved two weeks in Las Vegas and Palm Springs at Marriott's (1-bed in LV, 2-bed in PS; 2-bed not available when I wanted to go in LV). Very easy, very convenient. As you know, there are lots of restrictions on this program.

I did learn a bit more about it, including the code you can use to request it. And, the rep I've used for the last year+ knows all about it. If you need another name and extension, PM me and I'll pass it on.
 
Why did God make snakes just before lawyers? To practice...

PM'ed you for the contact info.

Actually it cost me money because now I need to buy 3 airline tickets to Las Vegas when otherwise I wouldn't have gone... :)
 
Forever Grateful - TUG is the best!!!!

Nodge,

Thank you sooooo very much for sharing your tip. I was able to get an extra vacation at Marriot Summit Watch at Park City in late August! (I took me multiple trials with different reps but the term "2 for 1 special" was quite helpful.)

This also prompted me to do a lot of research of exchange possibilities through Interval. (For the longest time, I was just going to use my weeks at WMH, WKV and perhaps venture out to Hawaii)/Atlantis). Now I know there is a whole new world out there beyond Starwood. I am so excited just thinking about it.

Once again, I am forever grateful to TUG for teaching me how to use my timeshare to the fullest potential. Happy vacation to you all!
 
Thanks to all as well, for the great tip and contact info. Found a few good reps in the process( and made notes of their numners, only one that didn't know what I was talking about ( out of 5 that I spoke with)...Finally booked a 2 BR at the Surf Club...only staying a few days for a girls get-a-way, but couldn't beat it for the cost!
 
You may be lucky and WIN in Las Vegas

Dan, you are too funny for words.

Enjoy your stay in Vegas and think of enjoying the pools, shows, shopping and good food. Plus -if you happen to be lucky and win a few bucks----even better!!

pointsjunkie - Send a pm to Nodge, who is the OP.
 
The current deal is for 2010 exchanges with check-in dates that are still in the future. The 2nd week must be in 2010. A previous post said it isn't available for 2011, yet.
 
I could never get a hold of the person Nodge suggested we call (probably busy with calls from all of us). I decided to talk a random person (who was not very nice), but she did say that all you have to do is mention this is the XYZ 2-1 promotion. Sure enough, I called back the next day and got some other random person who knew exactly what I was talking about. I guess the XYZ code is what they look for...

FYI...Thanks Nodge for sharing this! I can't wait to enjoy Disney in August at SVV for $149 :)

Good call Brad. You are right. The first guy I talked to at II knew exactly what the XYZ program was. There are definitely some restrictions. We wanted to get something close to home. So Cal Beaches are OFF limites. Palm Desert/Palm Springs is allowed, but only for Studio units.

Orlando is WIDE open (any size unit) as is Las Vegas. I did not check on anything else as I already have too much vacation booked this year.

We booked Marriott Desert Springs Villas I for November (after it cools down again). We won't be able to stay all week, but just an extended weekend (Thursday night - Monday morning) was worth $150.

See my earlier post. I reserved a 2-bed Marriott in PS under this promotion. Keep in mind you need to have at least a 2-bed deposit to do so.

I had a 3 bedroom Hawaii deposit...but he told me that he could not go any larger. Not sure why. Maybe I should call back and talk to someone else.

Ken, what time of year? Did you take the super hot summer or something? I took November, so maybe they are stricter so far out.

Yes, that could be it. Even so, you might want to call back and verify.
