Do you know anything about Platinum Interchange an exchange site?

Platinum Interchange is a legitimate exchange company that handles about 30,000 exchanges each year (compared to 2.6 million exchanges for RCI and 900,000 for II). There are no membership fees. Exchange fees are $99 for a domestic exchange and $119 for an international exchange.
 
I believe that Platinum Interchange raised their fees last September. The U.S. exchange fees are not $109, and I think that the international fees are now $129.

If you need an "upgrade", the new upgrade fees are $97 per each upgrade.

I have had good luck using them for Hawaii exchanges (Hawaii; Maui: Kauai;--haven't tried O'ahu---don't need that island---own several weeks there) and Southern California and Oregon exchanges.

I think they offer good value for the $$$. Be advised, though, that many of their resorts/exchanges are NOT gold crown/5-star, but are very comfortable.

That site also has many of the independents participating in answering questions from timesharers.
