Getting a Better Timeshare Exchange With Your Floating or Points Based Timeshare

In the last video I gave fixed week owners the best strategy for getting the most timeshare exchange power when depositing their timeshare week.  I also talked about the major reason why so many timeshare owners wait to deposit their week, severely hurting their timeshare exchange power and what to do about it. If you missed that video, make sure you go back and watch it to better understand this one.

In this video I’ll be discussing how to go about depositing a week into RCI or II if you own a floating week or in a points based timeshare resort.

2 Things You Must Do When Doing a Timeshare Exchange

I’ve found that there are 2 things that many floating week or points based timeshare owners are confused about.  The first is that they don’t realize they must call their home resort  and reserve a week before they can deposit it with RCI or Interval International.

And second, they fail to understand that specific timeshare exchange week of the year will be deposited.  It may be the week of February 10th, the week of July 22nd or the week of October 15th, but it will be a specific week. The week that you or your timeshare resort chooses to deposit should be, at a bare minimum, 6 months in advance of the day you you call and preferably more in order to increase your timeshare exchange power!

In other words, if it’s April 2009 you should be asking to deposit an Oct, November or December timeshare exchange week and not a July week. And if it’s October of 2009 you should ask to deposit an April of 2010 or later week and not a February week.

But as I mentioned,  those are the bare minimums. So how early should you really deposit your timeshare exchange week?  The answer to that question is as far in advance as possible but will be determined by your home resort’s policy.

Many timeshare resorts allow you to deposit a floating timeshare exchange week up to one year in advance. Some allow you to deposit your timeshare exchange week up to 2 years in advance. A very few only allow you 6 months in advance. But remember from the last video, for every month over 6 months in advance you deposit your timeshare exchange week, your timeshare exchange power increases. For every month under 6 months your timeshare exchange power decreases DRAMATICALLY.

For example, if you deposit an October 2009 week in July of 2008 you will have significantly more timeshare exchange power than if you deposit that same October 2009 week in January 2009.

How To Do a Timeshare Exchange From a Points Based Club

If you own in a points based club then everything I’ve talked about in this and the last video applies. Now I’m not talking about RCI points based resorts.  RCI created that system to do away with timeshare exchange power because so many people were frustrated with exchanging and no one understood it.  That has to tell you something.

The points based resorts that I’m referring to are clubs like Disney, Hyatt, Lawrence Welk, Diamond and others where you can use your points within their chain of timeshare resorts.  So, depositing a timeshare exchange week into either RCI or Interval International from a points based club functions just like in floating week resorts.

The only difference is that you have to convert your points into a timeshare exchange week before you deposit it into RCI or Interval International.  You do that simply by calling your home resort first THEN calling your exchange company.

Again, I highly recommend that you to watch the previous video for important information regarding depositing early.

In the next video I’ll be talking about another little known secret that will greatly increase your chances of getting the timeshare exchange you want.
