Timeshare Exchange

Vacation ownership offers unparalleled flexibility and the opportunity for affordable worldwide travel through timeshare exchange. Through the international timeshare exchange networks, owners can trade their timeshare interval for vacation time at comparable resorts around the world.

Most resorts are affiliated with an exchange company that administers the exchange service for its members. Typically, the Exchange Company will directly solicit annual membership. Owners individually elect to become members of the affiliated Exchange Company.

To exchange, the owner places his or her timeshare into the exchange company's pool of resorts and weeks available for exchange and, in turn, chooses an available resort and week from that pool. The exchange companies charge an exchange fee, in addition to an annual membership fee, to complete an exchange.

Timeshare exchange companies and resorts frequently offer their members the additional benefit of saving or banking vacation time in a reserve program for use in a different year.
