If you are looking to increase your intervals, credits, or points; find a more flexible program; or you just have general questions, feel free to contact us.

Below we offer answers to some common questions timeshare owners have about trading and getting the most out of their timeshares.

I currently own a fixed week interval and I'm not always going on that specific week. Can I convert it to credits and points that could be used at different times of the year in different destinations?

Yes, you may be able to. Some timeshare companies offer special membership programs that allow a fixed interval to be exchanged for credits or points, which can be used like currency to access other destinations or benefits. If your timeshare does not offer such a program, remember that if you own a timeshare at an RCI®-affiliated resort and are a U.S. resident, you can usually exchange your week(s) for destinations offered at other RCI-affiliated resorts. To learn more about your options under this program, contact your vacation specialist at Timeshares.com.

What are some of the advantages to credit or points versus a fixed interval?

When you convert your fixed interval to credits or points, you have more flexibility. You can choose when you go, where you go, how long you stay and the size of the unit. The choice is yours. And, timeshare companies that offer credits- or points-based products or membership programs often allow you to purchase additional product to increase your credits/points when your vacation needs change.

Why do some people consider selling their timeshares?

There are a few common reasons owners give for wanting to sell their timeshare: they don't use it; they feel locked into a fixed time period or can't schedule when they want; or they can't find the time to get away.

When owners plan their vacations using their timeshare, they report increased satisfaction with their purchase. And since today's timeshare owners are often not locked into a fixed time period anymore, planning these vacations becomes much easier (and more fun) to do with the family. Moreover, by converting to a credits- or points-based system, if offered by the timeshare company, or by buying more credits or points, timeshare owners can expand their vacation options. And no one can prosper without breaks. Taking a vacation has been proven to be good for physical and mental rejuvenation.
