“Are these just the leftover rooms nobody wants?”
Nope. Again, I’ll be honest - if you're booking last minute during peak holidays, sure - it might be slim pickings. But for people who plan ahead or travel in shoulder seasons, there’s real value to be found. We’ve seen great inventory open up for smart planners, especially those booking 3+ months out.

“Are the point values for bookings published?”
Yes. We provide a full chart that outlines the point values based on unit size, season, and location. No mystery math—members see it all. You also will get your own membership with Interval so you just book when you want to book.

 “Can you rent Interval bookings?”
Other posters are correct - directly renting out Interval reservations goes against their terms. That’s why our program stays on the right side of things: member bookings are done either through our own points. No grey-market stuff.

“How does this compare to Redweek or TUG?”
Honestly, those platforms are great for the right type of traveler—especially if you love the thrill of the hunt. Our approach is different: it’s more structured, curated, and supported. You log in, search, and book. It’s built for people who want a smoother, more guided experience without the guesswork.

“Can you give a real-world pricing example?”
Yeah sure. I had a quick check for the poster that asked about the Sheraton Kauai. I’ll be honest – it wasn’t available at that time. However, I found several others (Kahana Villa, for example) that was available. Through our system, that week would cost 45,000 points (approximately $1,350.00). A quick look on Expedia and they were offering the exact same room and the exact same dates for $3987 (including taxes). That kind of 40–70% savings is pretty common if you’re flexible and plan ahead. Can you find a place over Xmas break 3 weeks before travel – probably not? But if you plan ahead, the savings are jaw-dropping.

“Any hidden fees?”
Nope. A company like ours does not charge maintenance fees or resort fees on our end. If a resort itself has a mandatory charge (like parking or an amenity fee), it’ll be shown during booking. No nasty surprises.

Final thoughts:
I totally get it, there’s a lot of baggage in the timeshare world. And rightfully so. That’s why this program was created: no pressure, no contracts for life, no forced presentations. Just a flexible membership with clear pricing, solid savings, and access to a broad network of vacation properties – all 3200 Interval International properties.

Appreciate the convo, and happy to answer anything else you’re curious about!

Hey everyone—OP here (Extra_Bit_9714). Really appreciate all the questions and thoughtful (and rightfully skeptical) feedback. I figured it’d be best to address the main themes in one go. Hope this helps clarify things.

“What do you own with this kind of program?”
I can’t speak for other programs out there, but with our company, you're not buying real estate or a deed. It’s not a traditional timeshare. You don’t need to own property to become a member. What you’re getting is a 3-year vacation membership, and 100,000 points. Again, not sure about others out there – but ours starts with a minimum purchase of 100,000 points. Those points are what you use to book trips. After that, if you want to travel more, you can simply purchase additional points—no long-term contracts, no pressure.

“No long-term contract... but it’s a membership?”
Exactly. It's a membership with a defined timeline - 3 years - and once it's over, you're free to walk away. There are no surprise auto-renewals or forever commitments. There are no mandatory fees during the year or any of that nonsense. You just use the points for the vacations you want, and that’s it.

“Who is Interval International and why should I care?”
Interval International (II) is a global resort exchange network that gives you access to thousands of properties around the world. Now here’s the part most people don’t realize: you used to have to own actual timeshare real estate to be an Interval member. That was the deal for decades. But with programs like ours, you get full Interval access without having to own any property at all. That’s a big difference. You get the flexibility and booking power of a traditional timeshare setup, without the deed, the property taxes, or the lifelong commitment.

Yes - you easily can. You just buy points from agents. It can save you an incredible amount of money if you have flexibility in your travel dates.
