After 33 years, I am giving II another try. Just bought one year membership because they offer first exchange free. Spent a couple of hours going round and round with reps, until I finally got Howard in IT. He was able to get me into an account. Thanks! Now I will see if they are a good exchange company. I have 2 years left on RCI. Have used DAE and VRI, which is now affiliated with II. Just moving one week to II. Will decide what to do with other weeks after the initial exchange. Any advice with dealing with II?

lots of great inventory in II. Research the history of sightings and deposits. If you can be flexible....you can pick up a castle with a hut.

Really.
Don't know your vaca preferences, but if you can wait and be patient, the OGS will fill your request if possible. What/when are you searching for?

You may be able to avoid a fee when adding additional weeks to the account by doing it at the time you renew your membership, if you decide to.

If you register other resorts with II, one at a time, II will charge you separately to register each resort. So you might want to see if you can register them all now, for one fee.

*I'm just talking about registering other resorts - not depositing them - that is a separate step.

By paying for one additional year of membership you can register as many as you want. I recently added five this way.
