The cost may vary depending on different factors, such as the resort, length of stay, time of year, and room accommodations.

Members will be able to opt into the all-inclusive amenities for the required fee by communicating directly with the resort. Other resorts are mandatory all-inclusive, requiring the all-inclusive fee to be paid to the resort.
Q. Are all-inclusive resorts ideal for families?
-
There are many family-oriented all-inclusive resorts, as well as adults-only resorts.

Many all-inclusive resorts also offer nightlife options that guests can enjoy, from on-site nightclubs to live shows with music.
Q. How much cash should I carry?
-
Although meals and beverages are typically included in the cost of an all-inclusive vacation, it is recommended that you bring at least one credit card and a sufficient amount of cash for other expenses, such as tips or spa treatments.

Q. I received a Getaway Alert, but inventory was not available when I responded.
-
If you received a Getaway Alert, but inventory was not available when you responded, this could be because someone booked the Getaway prior to you accessing the inventory.

Interval International FAQs
Q. Why do the "Destination Units Available" change when I choose a different resort week to trade with?
-
The goal of our "comparable exchange" concept is to parallel the supply of and demand for both the week that you relinquish and the week that you request in exchange. So, the “Destination Units Available” that are displayed during your search for an exchange are resort weeks that are closest in demand and vacation experience to the one that you chose to relinquish.
Also, we try to ensure that the quality of the resort you are confirmed to is comparable to the accommodations that you traded.
Q. When does Interval list the home weeks I own under "My Units"?
-
All resort units are listed at least one year prior to your check-in date.
Some resorts, however, participate in the Early Deposit program. If you own a week at one of these properties, your units will be listed 18 months or two years in advance of your check-in.
Q. I own weeks that don't show up with my other available resort units. How do I add them to the list?
-
The weeks you see under "Your Resort Unit(s)" reflect the units currently eligible for you to exchange. Simply contact your designated Member-Services Center to add an additional week to your account.
We'll verify your unit's number and size with your home resort and update your records.
There is an administrative fee to add a week(s) to an existing membership. The administrative fee is waived, however, if you renew your membership for at least one year at the time you add your week(s).
Q. How do I verify that my online exchange confirmation has been completed?
-
You'll receive a confirmation number at the "Transaction Complete" page after you've selected a resort and the dates you want to travel, reviewed the resort information, and provided your payment details.
Your home resort will then verify the week you relinquished, and we'll send your confirmation certificate to you via your choice of e-mail, or regular mail.
Q. How do I find out if a problem arises when Interval attempts to verify my week with my home resort?
- We will notify you by postal mail.
Q. My time limit for requesting an exchange is about to expire, but I'm not ready to travel. What can I do?
-
You can extend your expiration date for six or 12 months by purchasing a deposit extension or by contacting your Member-Services Center.
Your week will be treated as a Flex Deposit. Weeks initially relinquished as Flex Deposits or late-notice deposits maintain their original redemption method.
Q. What if after I extend my deposit I still need more time to travel?
-
You can extend a previously extended deposit for an additional six or 12 months by purchasing a deposit extension or by contacting your Member-Services Center.
Your week will be treated as a Flex Deposit. Weeks initially relinquished as Flex Deposits or late-notice deposits maintain their original redemption method.
Q. How do I purchase a Guest Certificate online?
-
You´ll have the opportunity to purchase a Guest Certificate online at the time you make an exchange confirmation or place a request.
You can also purchase a Guest Certificate online when you buy your Getaway.
If your transaction was already completed, simply go to your Member Corner and click on “My Transactions” to view your exchange and Getaway history. You have the option to add, modify or delete a Guest Certificate for any current exchange or Getaway transaction by clicking the “ADD/MODIFY/DELETE” button.
Q. When I'm searching the Resort Directory I sometimes get a message that says additional information is unavailable. Why?
- For various reasons, some resorts aren't fully featured in the Resort Directory. If a unit at one of these properties is available for exchange, however, you can view more information about it by clicking the "Book It" button on the "Destination Units Available" page. If you decide not to confirm that particular unit, you can go back to the other available exchange options.
Q. When does my membership expire?
- Click on the "My Account" link to view the expiration date(s) of your basic and/or Interval Gold membership(s).
Q. How do I make an instant exchange confirmation online?
-
Simple instructions are provided to guide you through the entire process, but your first step will be to select a destination and a time period during which you'd be willing to travel.
Then you'll need to deposit the unit you'd like to exchange.
Based on the vacation parameters you've chosen and the week you've deposited, Interval's computers will search for exchange possibilities. A selection of resort weeks will display from which you can instantly confirm an exchange.
You can cancel the transaction any time prior to selecting "Submit" on the payment information page.
You'll receive a confirmation number after submitting your payment details.
Q. How do I "search" for an exchange?
-
It's easy, and you don't have to deposit a week before you start your search. On the vacation exchange page, just select where and when you'd like to travel and click continue.
Select the previously deposited week or available week you'd like to use for your exchange.
If you are using a week still available to you (not yet deposited), you may be asked to provide the check-in date and/or reservation number before you continue.
Then you'll be shown a list of units available for exchange for your specified date and destination.
Q. How can I upgrade to a larger unit?
- Unit-Size Upgrades are offered when making an instant exchange confirmation or when placing an exchange request. Upgrade opportunities are based on availability and are not available for every exchange confirmation.
Q. What is an upgrade step?
- Upgrade fees will be charged for each step, or unit size confirmed that is larger than the unit size deposited. For example, if you upgrade a one-bedroom unit to a two-bedroom unit, you will be charged for one upgrade step. If you upgrade a studio unit to a two-bedroom unit, you will be charged for two upgrade steps.
Q. What is the cost to upgrade my unit size?
-
The cost to upgrade your unit size is $99 per upgrade step. Interval Platinum members will pay a reduced rate of $59 per upgrade step, and Interval Gold members will pay a reduced rate of $79 per upgrade step. The Unit-Size Upgrade fee is in addition to your exchange fee.
There is no upgrade fee for instant exchange confirmations made within the Flexchange window. Additionally, if your request for a Unit-Size Upgrade is confirmed within 59 days of your check-in date, you will not be required to pay the Unit-Size Upgrade fee.
Q. How many steps can I upgrade with my unit?
- The number of steps you can upgrade with your unit is based on the unit size of the week you deposited and exchange availability.
Q. Why can’t I see any larger units when I shop for my exchange?
- The exchange program is based on the comparable value of the week you are depositing to the week you are looking to confirm. For example, if you deposit a unit that sleeps four, your trading power allows you to confirm a unit that sleeps four, regardless of the unit size. The opportunity to upgrade to a larger unit will appear from time to time, as it is based on availability. Additionally, only weeks owners are eligible for Unit-Size Upgrades. Points owners will not be affected since the number of points they relinquish determines the unit size confirmed.
Q. Will I get a chance to upgrade my unit size if I place an exchange request?
- Depending on availability, you may be offered the chance to request a Unit-Size Upgrade while placing an exchange request. When placing your request, you will be asked to provide your payment information in advance, and, if confirmed to a larger unit, you will be charged a Unit-Size Upgrade fee.
Q. What if my exchange request is confirmed, but the Unit-Size Upgrade I requested was not available?
- If your exchange request is confirmed, but there is no Unit-Size Upgrade available, you will not be charged the Unit-Size Upgrade fee.
Q. I cancelled my exchange. Do I receive a refund for my Unit-Size Upgrade fee?
- The refund of Unit-Size Upgrade fees operates the same way as the refund of exchange fees does. If your cancellation is within 24 hours of your exchange confirmation, your Unit-Size Upgrade fee will be refunded. If a cancellation is made after 24 hours, no fees will be refunded.
Q. Can I upgrade a Getaway?
- No, Unit-Size Upgrades are not available for Getaways.
Q. Can I upgrade a ShortStay Exchange or Interval Options?
- No, Unit-Size Upgrades are not available for ShortStay Exchanges or Interval Options.
Q. Do I have to pay for a Unit-Size Upgrade on an E-Plus retrade?
-
If your E-Plus retrade is being confirmed into a larger unit than your existing confirmation, then the E-Plus retrade is subject to the Unit-Size Upgrade fee.
There is no upgrade fee for E-Plus retrades made within the Flexchange window.
Q. Whom do I contact for more information?
- Please call your local Interval International Member-Services Center and speak to a vacation advisor.
Q. Why do I get a message that says my unit information cannot be found in Interval's records when I try to relinquish my week?
-
The unit information you submitted does not match Interval's file on your home resort.
Please verify your information and try again.
If you're still having problems, contact the customer service department at customerservice@intervalintl.com or 888-784-3447.
Q. I've tried to relinquish my week, but the system says my check-in date is invalid. What's wrong?
-
Interval's check-in calendar for your resort (based on week number and, in some cases, home resort unit number) does not match the date you provided.
Please verify your information with your home resort and try again.
If you're still having problems, contact the customer service department at customerservice@intervalintl.com or 888-784-3447.
Q. When can I deposit my week?
- With Deposit First, you'll have the flexibility of a four-year travel window — you can exchange anytime from two years before to two years after the first day of your home resort week.
Q. What is a Flex Deposit?
-
Flexchange is a service Interval offers to members who want to request a vacation exchange on short notice — from 59 days to 24 hours before check-in. You can check Flexchange availabilities at IntervalWorld.com or by calling 800-722-1747.
Additionally, you can make a Flex Deposit if you need to deposit your week 59 to 14 days prior to the check-in date (no deposits are accepted less than 14 days before your week). You'll then use the Flexchange service to confirm an exchange.
Q. How are the Member Ratings created?
- Member Ratings are compiled from the Evaluation forms members submit to Interval International after their stay at a given resort.
Q. Where can I get an Evaluation form?
- Evaluation forms can be found on the back of your Resort Confirmation or online in the My History section of intervalworld.com.
Q. How does Interval secure vacation weeks for Getaways?
-
Interval has three sources of vacation-week inventory for Getaways. The first is resort space that we receive from our members that is in excess of members’ demands for exchange through the Interval International network. In our Terms and Conditions, this is sometimes referred to as “seasonal oversupplies.” After being in the business for 44 years, our inventory specialists are adept at predicting how much exchange demand there will be at each resort for a particular unit size, during a specific time period. When the resort space available for that area exceeds predictable demand, some of that excess will be made available as Getaways, but space also remains available for exchange. In addition, when a check-in date is less than 60 days away, that inventory is offered simultaneously for both exchanges and Getaways, to maximize the opportunity for it to be used by our consumers.
For highly demanded vacation time that Interval cannot secure from members’ deposits, Interval will arrange to obtain inventory directly from resort developers at an agreed-upon rental rate. Some of these weeks are at affiliated resorts and others are from non-affiliated properties in areas that are frequently requested by members. Since this space is rented from third parties by Interval, rather than relinquished by members, Interval offers it through the Getaway program, typically at attractive pricing. As a result, a particular resort or destination might be found as a Getaway, but not as an exchange opportunity.
Finally, some Getaways represent inventory relinquished to our system by Interval Gold members toward a cruise, golf, or spa exchange through Interval Options®. In such instances, the actual space relinquished may be rented as a Getaway to offset the cost of the cruise or tour.
Interval is first and foremost an exchange provider for our members. As such, we ensure that resort time deposited for exchanges are prioritized for and provided to other exchanging members before any alternate use is permitted.

- As of May 31st, 2020, Condé Nast no longer offers the Magazine Benefit program.

Allianz Global Assistance FAQs
Q. Where can I find additional information and answers to my insurance-related plan questions on Covid-19 coverage?
-
For customers purchasing a new trip protection plan, our plans include Covid-19 coverage either through an Epidemic Coverage Endorsement or certain limited-time COVID-19 claim accommodations. Benefits vary by plan and by state of residence, and are not available in all jurisdictions. We recommend that you review the COVID-19 FAQs to see if your questions are answered. Please contact Allianz Global Assistance directly at 800.419.7642 if additional information is needed.
Q. Why do I need Trip Protection?
-
Trip Protection is designed to protect the investment you make in your travel plans. Just as you have home or car insurance, it can protect your travel investment (up to the amount of your plan limits) should your trip be cancelled or interrupted for a covered reason.
Q. What does Trip Protection cover?
-
Trip Protection can keep you and your travel plans safe with benefits that may include:
- • Trip Cancellation and Interruption Protection
- • Emergency Medical Transportation Benefits
- • Emergency Medical and Dental Benefits
- • Travel Accident Benefits
- • Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Baggage Protection
- • Baggage Delay Protection
- • Travel Delay Protection
Please note: Not all plans include each benefit listed here. Please see your plan documents for terms, conditions, and exclusions.
Q. Why do I need trip protection if I have E-Plus?
-
E-Plus allows members to retrade their confirmed exchange up to three times for a different destination, resort, unit size, or travel date for a one-time fee. While this benefit offers flexibility, E-Plus does not protect you from the unexpected like Trip Protection can. In addition to affording you protection against trip cancellation for a covered reason, Trip Protection can provide benefits if you experience a travel delay for a covered reason. Subject to your plan’s terms, conditions and exclusions, it can reimburse you if your bags are lost, damaged or stolen, can get you help quickly with 24-hour emergency hotline assistance, and more.
Q. When should I purchase Trip Protection?
-
You can purchase insurance for exchange and Getaways at the time of confirmation (including placing an exchange request), or within 7 days of the booking or up until the day prior to the start of your trip, whichever comes first. With your Trip Protection purchase you can then enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing you and your travel plans are protected with benefits such as trip interruption protection, emergency medical benefits, 24-hour hotline assistance, and more.
Q. What are the benefit limits on my plan?
-
Benefit limits may vary by plan, trip and person. Please see your plan documents for specific details pertaining to your specific plan.
Q. How can I increase my benefit limits?
-
You can increase your benefit limits online by going to www.etravelprotection.com/interval/ and select the Manage a Policy tab in the middle of the page. Don’t forget to consider all covered aspects of your travel when determining the best benefit limits for you.
Q. Who is the primary traveler?
-
The primary traveler is someone who is going on the trip and is the one whose name first appears on the Trip Protection plan. This is usually the member on the Interval membership, but it can also be a guest if a guest certificate is purchased. The primary insured must be traveling with the party.
Q. Do all members of my party need be on the Trip Protection plan—what if they’re not listed?
-
Trip protection protects everyone staying in the accommodations covered by the confirmation, whether they are listed or not. The primary insured must be traveling with the party.
Q. Won’t my credit card and personal health insurance give me the coverage I need while traveling?
-
Not necessarily. Credit cards may have gaps in the coverage they provide and many personal health insurance plans (like Medicare) may not protect you overseas. You should check these policies before you travel to assess exactly how or if you would be covered in case you have an emergency.
Q. How can I increase my benefit limits?
-
You can increase your benefit limits online by going to www.etravelprotection.com/interval/ and selecting the Manage a Policy tab in the middle of the page. Don’t forget to consider all covered aspects of your travel when determining the best benefit limits for you.
Q. What is considered a travel delay?
-
A travel delay is when your travel is delayed for five or more consecutive hours for a covered common carrier delay, strike, natural disaster, and more. Please refer to your Declaration of Coverage for benefit limits in your plan.
Q. Does Trip Protection reimburse fees associated with exchange?
-
Yes, Trip Protection may reimburse your exchange fee.
Q. Can I change the details of my insurance plan?
-
Yes. You can modify your plan or increase benefit limits online by going to www.etravelprotection.com/interval/ and select the Manage your Policy tab in the middle of the page. Please make sure that all details and travel dates are correct BEFORE travel.
You can also download the free TravelSmart™ app to view your plan details, file a claim, get help quickly, and more—all from your smartphone.

You simply need to update your plan with the new dates and pricing by visiting Allianz Global Assistance at www.etravelprotection.com/interval/.

Changing your mind about taking a trip or having your trip plans changed to meet business obligations is not covered. Please see your plan documents for terms, conditions, and exclusions.

Getaways FAQs
Q. What is a Getaway?

Unit sizes range from studios to multibedrooms, with many including a kitchen and family room. A host of on-site amenities are also typically available.
Q. Are all Getaways for a full week?
- No. To better fit your schedule, some Getaways are available for less than seven nights, which makes it convenient to take a quick trip to the mountains or enjoy a weekend in the city.
Q. How do I book a Getaway?
- You can easily search for and book Getaways at intervalworld.com, or call your local Interval Member-Services Center.
Q. How do I find and book Getaways of less than seven nights specifically?
- After signing in to intervalworld.com, select ShortStay Getaways from the Getaways tab. You can also initiate a search from your member Benefits page by clicking Find ShortStay Getaways at the bottom of the page. Or call your local Interval Member-Services Center.
Q. Why do I see a Special Offer icon on certain destinations when I search for Getaways of less than seven nights?
- The icon indicates a Getaway of less than seven nights that’s available at an exceptional price. These special offers are based on the destination, length of stay, and check-in date — but they don’t last long. So if you see something you’re interested in, it’s best to take advantage of these great deals right away!
Q. Can I add a Guest Certificate to any Getaway?
-
Yes. Guest Certificates are available for all Getaways. You can purchase a Guest Certificate online when you buy your Getaway. And Interval Platinum® members get up to five free Guest Certificates per membership year.
If your transaction was already completed, simply select Getaways under My History, where you will have the option to add, modify, or delete a Guest Certificate for your Getaway.
Q. How does Interval secure vacation weeks for Getaways?
-
To offer the largest variety of vacation experiences possible, Interval utilizes multiple sources for procuring resort inventory for the Getaways program:
- • Some member-deposited resort space exceeds exchange demand. Those excess units are made available as Getaways.
- • For highly demanded vacation areas and times, Interval will occasionally obtain inventory directly from resort developers. Some of these weeks are at affiliated resorts, and others are from non-affiliated properties. In the latter cases, the space may not be available for exchange.
- • Inventory relinquished to our system through Interval Options® exchanges may be made available for Getaway purchase.
Q. Are Getaways refundable?
-
No. All Getaway confirmations are final and nonrefundable.
For this reason, U.S. residents are strongly encouraged to purchase Trip Protection from Allianz Travel for their Getaway vacation.
Q. Does my new-member discount apply to my Getaway purchase?
- Yes! During your first year of Interval membership, you’ll receive a discount on every Getaway purchased of four nights or more.
Q. Does my everyday Interval Gold® or Interval Platinum discount apply to my Getaway purchase?
- Absolutely! Your Interval Gold or Interval Platinum Getaway discount applies to every Getaway of four nights or more. When applicable, you’ll also enjoy an additional new-member discount during your first year of Interval membership.
Q. I’m a new member with an upgraded membership. Do I get a discount on all Getaways of less than seven nights?
-
Actually, you get two discounts on all Getaways of four nights or more! Your new-member discount will apply for your entire first year of Interval membership, and your Interval Gold or Interval Platinum Getaway discount is active as long as you’re an upgraded member!
Just remember that these savings are for Getaways of four nights or more.
Q. Why can’t I retrade my Getaway?
- Getaways are available without exchanging. This is part of why they’re so great — you can book without giving up your home resort week or points. Since there’s no exchange involved, retrading isn’t an option. And always remember that Getaway confirmations are final and nonrefundable.
Q. What is the Best Price Guarantee and how does it work?
- Interval stands behind its promise to give members the ability to travel more often, for less. So, if you find a lower rate for the same dates and resort stay within 24 hours of your Getaway confirmation, you can file a Best Price Guarantee claim with Interval. If your claim is approved, you will receive a refund for the difference between the amount you paid for your Getaway and the lower rate. Interval’s Best Price Guarantee on Getaways applies to all Getaways, regardless of the length of stay, so you can travel with the confidence that you’re always getting the best deal available. See the terms and conditions for more information.
Q. Can I request a specific unit location for Getaways?
- No. However, you may contact the resort prior to check-in to make any special requests, which are subject to the resort’s availability, and not guaranteed.
Q. Can I request special facilities for Getaways?
- If you require any special facilities, please let your vacation advisor know at the time of booking to inquire about availability. Unfortunately, not all properties can make special facilities available and requests cannot be guaranteed.
Q. How many Getaways can I book?
- Since there is no exchange required, you can book as many Getaways as you want! In certain instances, Interval does limit the number of Getaways that may be purchased.
Q. Why do the prices for Getaways change from day to day?
-
Interval is constantly reviewing the supply and demand of the travel market, just like the hotel and airline industry. Getaway prices and availability are subject to change, so if you see it at a price that’s right, book it!
And remember, thanks to Interval’s Best Price Guarantee, you can book with confidence that you’re always getting the best available deal. If you find a lower rate for the same dates and resort stay within 24 hours of your Getaway confirmation, you can file a Best Price Guarantee claim with Interval. If your claim is approved, you will receive a refund for the difference between the amount you paid for your Getaway and the lower rate. Interval’s Best Price Guarantee on Getaways applies to all Getaways, regardless of the length of stay. See the terms and conditions for more information.
