Which Type of Exchange Is Right for You?
There are three main types of exchange:
Deposit First
Deposit First is the right exchange method when you're sure you want to vacation somewhere other than your home resort.

Once your Deposit has been confirmed, you will not be able to make changes or cancel the request. You can begin a Deposit First exchange between 12 months and 60 days before your home resort reservation check-in date. You'll have up to 24 months after your original home resort reservation check-in date to complete your exchange and travel.
Request First
Request First is the right exchange method when you want the security of keeping your home resort week until you confirm an acceptable exchange. You can begin a Request First exchange between 12 months and 60 days before your home resort reservation check-in date. You ll have up to 12 months prior to your home resort reservation check-in date to confirm an exchange and complete your travel.
Other Things to Know
Marriott Vacation Club Exchange Priority Marriott Vacation Club owners receive priority to comparable weeks deposited by other Vacation Club owners. Interval International holds the highly demanded weeks deposited from Marriott Vacation Club owners for a predetermined period to fulfill comparable exchange requests from other Marriott Vacation Club owners before making the weeks available for non-Marriott Vacation Club week owners. In addition, when all comparable factors are equal, Interval International gives priority to Marriott Vacation Club owners who request an exchange back to their home resort.
Comparable Exchange
When you exchange, the Interval International program is based upon the Comparable Exchange concept which attempts to ensure that the supply and demand for the resort and week you receive is similar in value to the supply and demand of what you have deposited€
The comparison is based on a variety of aspects of your home resort and the resort you're requesting:
Demand for the week and resort being deposited as well as being requested.
Supply of similar weeks and resorts being deposited as well as being requested.
Quality of resort, villa size or unit type and private sleeping capacity of the deposited week.
Villa week check-in date.
Date of request and date the villa week was deposited.

Additional Tips
- Place your request as early as possible to increase your chances of confirmation. Be flexible.
- Choose as many resorts and dates as possible within the region you wish to travel.
- If your traveling party has fewer people than the private sleeping capacity listed for your deposited week, you may increase your chances of confirmation by accepting a smaller unit. For example: If you deposit a two-bedroom unit, but can use a one bedroom for your exchange, you will improve your chances of confirmation.
- Requesting a week within the seasonal demand no greater than your deposited week will improve your chances of confirmation.
- Multiple check-in days: check-in days vary by resort. You increase your chances for confirmation by accepting any check-in day during the week of your choice. However, you may limit your availability search to specific check-in days.
Explore the affiliated resorts by visiting Interval International or browsing the Interval International Resort Directory.

Interval International Getaways
As Marriott Vacation Club Resale Specialists one of the most common questions, we are asked is Can we book the Marriott Vacation Club Getaways if we buy a resale? The answer is yes, of course, you can.
Getaway weeks are simply timeshare weeks that have been deposited with the exchange company and due to circumstances, such as, excess inventory or it is getting close to the travel date (usually within 90 days), the weeks have not been used. These weeks now belong to the exchange company, not to the timeshare owner or the resort developer or management company.
The exchange network generally offers all Getaways to all members, premium level memberships may have special offerings from time to time. Therefore, owners of Marriott Vacation Club timeshare who are also members of Interval International have access to all Getaways, including Marriott Vacation Club resorts. You will still have the same choice of membership levels with Interval International. Some exchange companies may also purchase additional inventory in timeshare and non-timeshare resorts to provide members with the additional choice of Getaways/Additional Holidays. It is the same principle with any other timeshare resale or exchange company, if you are not the original owner or purchaser of the timeshare, this will not make a difference to the exchange company for Exchanges or Getaways.
