THE NEWBIE PAGES

Welcome to Interval International!

Are you

a new

Interval

member?

Read

this first.

What is Interval International and

what does my membership offer?

Interval is

The Quality Vacation Exchange Network

®

,

giving you the ability to exchange your resort week or points

for a week at one of nearly 3,200 resorts in over 80 nations.

One of the most popular benefits of Interval

membership is

Getaways

— low-priced weeklong resort

stays. 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. And since you’re probably going

to vacation at your home resort or within your club the

first year or two, Getaways give you the opportunity to

visit your resort

and

enjoy extra vacations. They’re also

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. Plus, you can buy a

Getaway online at

intervalworld.com,

or on the

Interval

International app

. Want some Getaway ideas? Check

out page 72.

You also get the advantage of

Interval Travel

®

— a

full-service travel agency. Through Interval Travel, you

can

book cruises on all of the major lines, buy airline

tickets, rent a car, enjoy thrilling experiential tours,

save up to 60 percent on select hotel bookings

powered by Priceline Partner Network, and insure your

exchange, Getaway, and more. See pages 78 and 82 for

an exciting collection of tour and cruise offers selected

for you.

Once you’re ready to explore the world outside of

your home resort or club, it’s time to exchange. 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? Read on,

then flip to page 10 for more information.

How can I make an exchange?

First, go to

intervalworld.com

and create a member

profile. Next, search for an exchange by destination, or

resort and travel date. If the week you want is available,

you’ll receive an instant confirmation and can pack your

bags. If you’re a weeks-based member and don’t find

the week you want, you have two exchange options:

Deposit First

and

Request First

. If you’re a points-based

member, you’ll use Request First. To learn more about

each exchange method, turn to page 10.

Can I exchange my week or

points toward anything other than

a resort vacation?

Yes! Upgrade your membership to

Interval Gold

®

or

Interval Platinum

®

to take advantage of additional

benefits, including

ShortStay Exchange

®

, for shorter

breaks of one to six nights; and

Interval Options

®

, for

additional exchange opportunities, including cruises,

hotel stays, and experiential travel. Want to learn more?
