Enjoy Even More Vacation Options Through Interval
Sometimes we just want (or need) to stay at a hotel for that trip with friends to celebrate a special occasion, a spontaneous weekend away, or a family vacation.
And the beauty of your hotel benefits is that they seamlessly complement your timeshare ownership, giving you myriad vacation possibilities — and plenty of ways to satisfy all of your accommodations needs. You can get discounts on hotel bookings, and Interval Gold® and Interval Platinum® members can even make a hotel exchange by trading their week or points, making visits to iconic cities or a quick weekend away easy endeavors.
Discounted Hotel Bookings
When you reserve your hotel stay through Interval Travel®, powered by Priceline Partner SolutionsTM, not only do you have access to 1.2 million accommodations in more than 230 countries, but you can save on select hotel bookings with special Member Deals — available to Interval members who book online.
A membership upgrade gets you even more: Interval Platinum members have access to the best available rates.
The discounted rates have paid off big time for members like you. In 2023 alone, Interval members enjoyed an average savings of nearly $43 per night.
These savings provide an incredible value to Interval members, and the discounts are easy to take advantage of, too. Just sign in to intervalworld.com, find the Travel tab, and click Hotels from the drop-down menu. The recently redesigned platform provides you an enhanced booking experience with a fresh, user-friendly interface powered by Priceline Partner Solutions’ latest technology. And thanks to improved search and filter options, you can customize your hotel preferences while continuing to find excellent Member Deals.
Hotel Exchange
For members like you who may want to use vacation weeks or points for hotel stays, hotel exchange is a benefit that offers many choices and maximum flexibility.
Timeshare resorts can be found all around the world, but there are still some areas where vacation ownership properties simply don’t fit. Popular urban centers are some of the best examples. And that’s where hotel exchange comes in.
This benefit allows you to book hotels in highly desirable urban destinations that may have limited or no vacation ownership availability. But you can access more than just major metropolitan hubs. You can also search for, and find, hotel rooms in remote destinations such as Bora Bora.
You can trade weeks or points for up to four rooms.* When you transact with points, the system will indicate how many are needed — you commonly don’t have to use your entire allotment, particularly for shorter stays.
And there are no restrictions on the number of nights, so you can book for seven days, a long weekend, or a single night.
Hotel exchange is especially beneficial if you want to make travel plans on short notice. And we’ve all had last-minute ideas or opportunities for an escape that arise suddenly.
While traditional exchanges are regularly made months in advance, hotel exchange bookings can be made until 14 days from check-in, so you can trade and go almost wherever you want. Hotel exchange gives you access to different accommodations — and an incredible range of different destinations.
