is there a place to sell points transferred into interval international?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had transferred points into interval international /world passport collection in jan 06 and had to cancel the trip
I have to use the trip (equivalent of 144 points) by 1/07
does anyone know if there is a place to sell or trade these points like you can disney points

I'm not exactly certain what you are asking, but when you make a reservation through II, it is against II rules to sub-rent that.

I would call member services - you say you have to use it by 01/07 - but I though II would give you 2 years to use them.

It might be the canceling part....

anyway I am not sure what II policy is on this - you don't have a reservation with any of the II exchanges - so you might be able to rent them.

but boy you are going to have lower your price sharply.

you can try these sites

I have found it to be a great resource for Non-DVC stuff.

I have a similiar situation I had to cancel my trip also and I have 270 Interval points and DVC told me i have one year to use them and I can sell them on my own and put the trip in their name. I just have no clue how to sell and proceed in the sale. If you have any ideas please help us. Thanks

What exactly is an Interval Point?

 

[spiceycat]

points that must be used in DVC Interval International exchange.

I might try ebay.

as well as the one I listed before.

here is a list of places that those points can be used at - definitely a 1-bedroom, maybe in the right season and place a 2-bedroom.
(those are 144 points - the 270 points are for a 2-bedroom)

the Marriott Grande Ocean in HH, SC is nice.

Pat, I'm guessing he actually made an exchange then cancelled it, you then have up to one year to use the replacement week. If you cancel a second time, you're out of luck.

One given to II, it's really only an II week, not points anymore.

thanks everyone
i actually was able to get a week in cancun that i wanted

here's the story:
once you swap into II and cancel, it remains in II
it's not points, but a week at an II place;
the other thing is that if you swapped for a one bdrm, you cannot add points to make it a two bdrm, because your swap was for a one bdrm;
if you rebook and now cancel a second time, you lose your week altogether;

one more thing: if you cancel within 59 days of your book, then you cannot rebook until you are within 59 days of the time you want to travel AND you CANNOT go on a waiting list; you have to call disney every day and ask is there anything for such and such time open? they can do an availability search for you for let's say, the caribbean , or the eastern US, or cancun, or wherever; it took me over two weeks of calling every day until I found a suitable swap;

Wow...

They could make this a little easier on DVC'ers by letting them access the II database. All they'd need to do is let you do a test pull to see what comes up for a studio, one bedroom or two bedroom. Then you could call and see what you want.

Make it directly accessible through logging into dvcmember.com so you don't need to issue ID's for everyone. And prevent the actual trade from going through. Have DVC foot the re-programming cost.

All true. Regarding deposit first or an issue where one has cancelled and rebooked, you cannot request a unit larger than you deposited nor a season higher. That means that one must consider carefully what they want out of it prior to canceling or a deposit first.

I don't think so, this is the normal II rules and DVC states in their materials that the II rules govern these transactions. Since most of the good stuff is not just sitting in II, letting one do a few test pulls likely wouldn't help. I do daily exchange runs to see and it's taken me a couple of years doing the same things over and over to get a feel for my little corner of the world. And given that the way DVC's contract with II is set up, you would only be able to pull a unit the size of the deposit (or potential deposit). One would not be able to search with a studio and find 2 BR like you would if you were a regular II member. What they could do would be to let us be regular II members but then you'd have to pay a yearly membership fee and a regular exchange fee about double that of DVC's.
