guest certificate with Interval International

[disneyatheart]

Hello everyone-again

I tried to participate in the "sunday chat", but Im having problems accessing the rooms through ichat.

Anyway, here is my question that I need help with ASAP.

We have an opportunity to purchase a ressie at OKW from an individual who has it through Interval International (timeshare), but will not be able to go. I believe they issue what they call a "guest certificate". Im not familiar with Interval International or their reservation/booking process. I went to their website, but it was a bit difficult to understand. Boy if you think DVC banking/borrowing, etc is difficult to understand, try to figure this one out.

Is anyone familiar with it and how it might work with DVC? Im a DVC member and would like to have it transferred to my name if possible.

If there is any information I should need to have or be asking prior to giving my money, please let me know. Ive never "bought" a reservation or rented points before.

Thanks EVERYBODY-Youre the BEST

You might try calling them. Although frequently they don't want to talk to you if you are not a member.

If there's money involved, Don't call II. It's against their rules to rent out an exchange. Otherwise it's just a $39 guest cert fee unless it was a getaway (less than $60 days) where it is free. As long as you get the guest certificate, you should be ok.

Dean,

You might want to mention the $95.00 resort transportion fee.

You're right, that totally slipped my mind. I think it's collected at checkin so that'd be a hefty surprise for the person who ended up going. Still could be a nice deal if it worked out correctly

Thanks everyone

I talked with MS this morning for their input and they too said that all that I needed was the guest certificate. I haven't put a great deal of time into reading the membership guide (just received it in late August), but if I had I would have learned that Interval International is the timeshare company that DVC uses for the World Passport. So MS was very knowledgeable about International Interval and their process.

We got a wonderful deal for OKW and in the process met a wonderful individual, who unfortunatly can't go on their planned vacation.

Its nice to know there are trust worthy individuals still out in the world like you DISers and the individual selling her reservation.

Thanks for all your help.
