Timeshare Exchange Companies You May Want To Consider
There are several timeshare exchange companies through which timeshares are sold. Let’s take a look at some of the main ones:
Resort Condominiums International (RCI)
With over 4,000 affiliated resorts in more than 100 countries, RCI has become one of the dominant timeshare brokers. Their models for timeshare ownership flow through two main exchange programs – weeks and points. On the weeks system, you buy a timeshare in a certain location during a specified week. Red weeks are considered the most valuable, as they are peak weeks for vacationing. The points system runs a little differently. Points are used to buy timeshares. Typically, 50,000 points will net you a two bedroom in any of the RCI week. RCI will continue to rule the market of exchange companies due to its vast market of over 3.6 million members.
Interval International (II)
Worldwide, Interval International boasts over 2 million members and has more than 2,200 resorts under its belt. II allows users to deposit their weeks and exchange their weeks with II’s available inventory. One of the benefits of II is that it has affiliations with some of the higher end resorts, including Marriott, the Four Seasons, and Westgate.
Trading Places International (TPI)
Similar to Interval International, Trading Places International allows owners to deposit their timeshare weeks at their own timeshare in exchange for use at another one of their resorts.
The points system, and the week system of both II and TPI, allows for greater mobility for timeshare users. When looking at timeshare exchange companies, make sure you know which system is right for you.
Of course, some people will pay a transfer company like Timeshare Relief to get rid of their timeshare.
