THE NEWBIE PAGES
Kick-Start Your Membership
Are you a new
Interval member?
Read this first.
You might not know this, but along
with the resort week or club points that
you purchased, you have something
that is going to provide even more
vacation options and help you save
money — when you’re traveling or at
home: We’re talking about an Interval
International® membership.
Interval is the perfect complement to
vacation ownership, and you can start
using your membership right now! In
fact, this magazine, Interval World , is
one of many Interval perks, and a great
resource for information about all of
your other membership benefits. So even if you’re new to
Interval but not new to vacation ownership — or you’ve
been an Interval member for years — we recommend that
you read this magazine cover to cover so that you can get
the most of what Interval offers. Which is a lot .
Let’s Start With Travel
n You’re probably going to want to vacation at your
home resort or within your club the first year or two.
We totally understand. And with Getaways, you can
visit your resort and enjoy extra vacations. Getaways
are very affordable — starting at $337 for a
week. And as a new member, you get $25 off all
Getaways during your first year of Interval
membership. Accommodations are often
spacious, with the kitchen, living room,
and bedrooms that made you become a
vacation owner in the first place. They’re
also available throughout the world. Want
some Getaway ideas? Check out page 72.
n Did we mention we have a full-service
travel agency? Through Interval Travel ®,
you can book cruises on all of the major
cruise lines, buy airline tickets, rent a
car, enjoy thrilling experiential tours,
save up to 60 percent on select
hotel bookings (Interval Gold® members
save up to 65 percent; Interval Platinum®
members save up to 70 percent), and insure your
exchange, Getaway, and more. See pages 78 and 81
for tour and cruise offers selected for you.
n And here’s the biggest benefit of all: Once you’re
ready to explore the world outside of your home
resort or club, Interval will be here with a network of
nearly 3,200 resorts on six continents. With vacation
exchange, you can trade your week or points for
a week in Tahoe or Thailand, the Austrian Alps or
Australia’s Gold Coast. Thinking of exchanging? Plan
ahead. Turn to page 13 to learn more.
Let’s Make It Happen
n Do Your Research:
After you’ve read Interval World, check out the Travel Planner,
your members-only guidebook, which showcases hundreds
of resorts and features essential activities, day-trips, tips for
members traveling with kids, and the best weeks to exchange
or buy Getaways. It’s available in print
and at .
n Plan at Home:
Go to and create
a member profile. Now you’re ready
to make an exchange, buy a Getaway,
book a cruise, plan vacation activities,
get advice from fellow members on
Community, and more.
n Plan on the Go:
Download the Interval International
app and peruse the enhanced Resort
Directory, or buy a Getaway while in
line at the supermarket.
n Know Before You Go:
Find resort and destination videos,
and membership tutorials on
Interval HD at
and on Interval’s YouTube channel.
