2. Personalized Service - View the List Online
  • As an individual timeshare (vacation interval) owner, you're automatically a member of Platinum Interchange. You have the CHOICE to exchange with any exchange company!
  • Contact a Vacation Counselor directly by phone, email or complete a quick Online exchange request form. Our Vacation Counselors will provide individualized, prompt and quality service. Your Vacation Counselor will charge the applicable exchange and/or upgrade fees after your Week is obtained and confirmed by you. Also, your Vacation Counselor will provide you with a confirmation number and resort information. If we don’t have what you are searching for, we will offer practical suggestions of available alternative resorts and destinations. We will also attempt a search for your exchange request amongst our industry contacts and contact you when it's obtained. Please refer to the Special Request section below.
  • View the List (current inventory availability updated daily). Peruse at your leisure with family members or friends, for the destination of your choice! One exchange guest said, "The a...WAY List is one of the best inventions in timeshare in the past 5 years!"

3. Request First
  • Improve your chances by giving us plenty of time (eight to 12 months) to work on your request. Remember to be as flexible as possible. Try to have more than one desired travel date and to select a vacation destination rather than a specific resort property. This will improve our ability to fulfill your request.
  • Gives you the security of retaining your Week until you receive an exchange. You can request an exchange without having to deposit your Week or pay an upfront exchange search fee. No fees until we confirm your exchange. You don’t have to relinquish your Week or pay anything until we fulfill your exchange request.
  • Request Early!

4. Special Request
  • If the Week, location or suite size you're searching for is not on our a...WAY List, please contact a Vacation Counselor and ask for a Special Request.
  • In order to make a Special Request, a valid Credit Card and an available Non-Expired/Non-Used Exchange Deposit is required at the time of your initial Special Request. From that initial Special Request point, a Vacation Counselor will notify you within 14 days if the Week you are requesting is available or not. If the Week is available for that initial Special Request, you will be confirmed immediately and your credit card on file will be charged at that time, too. If the Week you are requesting is not available for that initial Special Request, your credit card on file will not be charged. At this point if your initial Special Request was unavailable, you then have the option to: 1) Be placed on our regular request list, or 2) Cancel the initial Special Request.

5. Deposit Last
  • Reserve your Week at your home resort. You may deposit your Week from a minimum of 60 days (domestic) or a minimum of 75 days (international) prior to check-in. Note: Deposit times vary depending upon your home resort and whether it is a domestic or international location. Please contact a Vacation Counselor for additional information.
  • If you opt to deposit your Week first, you have 2 years from the start date of your banked Week to withdraw an exchange. Note: Last minute deposits are at the sole discretion of Platinum Interchange to approve and accept. We reserve the exclusive right of refusal for last minute deposits. A fee may apply to accepted Last Minute deposits. For further inquiries concerning last minute deposits, please contact a Vacation Counselor at the corporate office in Anaheim, CA.
  • Deposit your Week. After we provide the exchange Week that you requested, it is time to deposit your Week. Your Vacation Counselor will provide you with a verification deposit form and it is important you complete all applicable sections, sign and mail or fax the form back as soon as possible. Your home resort is also required to sign a form verifying you own at the particular resort you are depositing. We encourage you to facilitate the process by reminding your home resort to return the verification form back to us as soon as possible. Your reservation is not valid until your Week is verified and deposited with Platinum Interchange. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for additional information.

6. Upgrades
  • Platinum Interchange allows the flexibility to upgrade your exchange: A) To a larger suite (based upon occupancy guidelines), B) Travel during a Federal Holiday* week (including Easter), and/or C) Utilizing a second weekend.
  • Upgrades are subject to availability. If options A., B. and/or C. apply to your exchange, you are required to pay an upgrade fee and additional upgrades fees, as applicable. For example, if you want to exchange from a Studio Suite (occupancy two/sleeps two) into a Studio Suite (occupancy four/sleeps four), then one upgrade fee will apply (option A.). If during this same exchange you also want to travel during a Federal Holiday, like Veterans Day, then you are required to pay another upgrade fee (option B.). In this example provided, hereto, your one exchange would then be subject to two upgrade fees (options A. and B.); in addition, to the exchange fee. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for additional information. All information is subject to change and may vary per resort. Certain restrictions may apply depending upon the Resort-contact Platinum Interchange for further information.

C. Used a Weekend:
A timeshare week is seven (7) nights which consists of five (5) weekdays (Sun.-Thur.) and two (2) weekend days (Fri. & Sat.). Platinum Interchange offers partial exchanges when traveling two (2) to four (4) nights at select participating resorts. If a customer utilizes the partial exchange program when traveling two (2) to four (4) nights that are weekend days and books another partial exchange when traveling two (2) to four (4) nights using a second weekend, then the Second Weekend Upgrade fee applies.

Save Money. Real Value. Best Service. Your Choice!


Partial Exchanges
