Reviews and Complaints

They always seem to try to get you to renew your membership early. My advice to all members is to let your membership lapse. If Interval International didn't get members by making deals with the resort developers to include an initial membership for a year, no one in their right mind would ever sign up for a membership in the first place. I think too many people just continue to renew without ever doing a "value for money" analysis. There is no value here. Get out now and save your money.

(Apologies to ING)

interval international is not located in branson you may have become pray a to scam becareful who you give information to anyone can call you and say their interval and ask for your info

Wioth 2, 000, 000 members claimed, how do you manage to get the same person each time you call? This comment to the complaint sounds like a "plant" to me!

call [protected] and ask questions thats the number i call them with they are nice as long as you are i have been doing exchanges with them for over 10 years and because everytime i call i get the same girl it has made things easier to i love them been everywhere just tell them you want to know how to do your trade right and they'll tell you, you can't get anything if you don't ask questions

First of all "Interval" is not a timeshare, it is an exchange service. Interval allows you to exchange your timeshare usage time for another somewhere else. They are also a membership service with a yearly fee, so if you do not like them don't renew your subscription. Interval charges around $200.00 for a one year membership. If you don't like your Timeshare that is a different story, because now that you own it it's like lifelong luggage that never goes away. Her are some websites for you to learn how to get rid of your timeshare. It's called : Givebacktimeshare.com and Timesharerelief.com. This way you can educate yourself on the pros and cons of timeshare ownership.

We experienced the same with Interval...we went to Puerto Rico and they booked us at ESJ Towers the particular room we were given was a hell hole, and it was not equivalent to our 5 star exchange either! You can speak to a Supervisor or to the Vice president of Interval, they don't care. Over the years Interval has never found us anything ...so we don't bother calling anymore. I figure between the Membership Fee, the Fee they charge for the week, plus the higher Fee I pay to travel over the weekend I can put this money towards my own "stress free" vacation!

Anyone reading this be aware that if you are a timeshare owner, you will never get out of it they (the Timeshare Company) will come after your estate and any heirs etc...!

My advice with regard to II properties ... before you make any plans, do some Internet searches. Go to the resort's website. Check out www.tripadvisor.com. If you haven't used that site, it is an invaluable tool. We own 3 Marriott lockoff properties, so we have had quite a few exchange experiences. I would not go without looking for reviews from other travelers.

I also had a horrible experience with II. They booked me at a location that was not available and I found out only a few weeks before my flight. When they realized their mistake they refused to pay for my flight change or a stay at a hotel for the nights I had orginally booked and taken time off work for. customer service is a joke. They never return promised phone calls. Stay away from this company

I feel your pain...however, we have been with Interval International for over 15 years (they were our Timeshare of choice for the property we own in New Orleans). we've been lucky as we normally exchange our week in Bonaire or St. Thomas etc., and have the Interval International book and are able to login on-line to VIEW the place we request.

We have (not to this point) been disappointed.

Under the circumstances I think I would have asked for a supervisior...and I do agree Interval should refund your money AND give you free weeks and anything (within reason) to compensate for your horrible experience.

I can't believe that villa palmar is still in business, the company is run by Americans.
They are scamming their own people, filling their pockets with fraudulent money.

Interval offers you no availability and crappy locations in echange for banking your week. I have a timeshare with Villa group in mexico which has a series of fabulous resorts, nothing i have seen on interval Int "AVAILABLE" resorts when trying to book even comes close in comparison. If they do... read the fine print, you cant use timeshare exchanges...you have to pay full price ...interval is just serving as a travel agent then...INTERVAL IS AN UTTER SCAM...what are they doing with the week at Villa del Palmar Cabo I "Banked" ...I'll tell you what, they sold it as a full price vacation to some poor fool and then offers a run down hotel in the backwater of Hawaii not even close to the beach. WHAT FINE PRINT ACCOUNTS FOR THIS?

I tried for the first time to use the interval exchange service, Mind you I banked my week at my home resort and now wanted to book at my home resort for this coming year 10 months out. They told me that they are completely booked up and that I would have to go on a waiting list and that I could pay them $109.00 today to see if I get my request. This is complete and utter crap. I can not believe they get people this way. So basically they got a free week that I paid for. So apparently I will not renew my membership with them and I will use my week every other year when it comes up through Marriott. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THESE PEOPLE. IT IS A RIP-OFF.

OK...understand that Getaways are properties that II recieves other then via trades and not obligated to fill owners requests with...but what about the new Shortstay? These ARE owner deposits, yet II will take the primo late deposits under 60 days and sell them in pieces rather than give them to a request in effect. I've had it happen to me and their excuse?... " thats another department".

And I disagree with your suggestion that the economy prevents people from traveling. If anything, owners cannot travel to Hawaii, Aruba, etc. and ought to be depositing properties to bank them for the future. If anything this effect ought to keep IIs inventory at as high as in past.

Perhaps what you mean is there are less owners. What is the default % on timeshares and is the entire market preparing to crash ? II has a lot more Getaways from owners defaulting because properties are having weeks turned over for unpaid maintenance fees. If you cannot make your house payment...are you going to pay $1200 for maintenance fees at a resort you cannot afford to travel to?

I still suggest IIs policies have changed drastically in moving more towards a premium travel company and less as an exchange outlet. This said...there are no checks in place to be sure as an owner waiting on a request...you will ever get your week.

stop buying timeshare

A Big Comment to your Interval praise:

We have read everything Interval has written in their exchange very carefully, they have a beautiful 6 inch directory promoting all the thousands of resorts worldwide, we followed all their guidelines to a T, and we could not even find anything even in the remotest areas which were not popular. Even with one year or 2 years in advance or if you gave them 10 locations, even a bigger time window of travel ...Interval never had any availabilities period!

That is a dirty little secret written by their lawyers, once they sucker you in ...you can't get out!

So I figure if I save the membership fee to Interval, plus the 2 weeks fee they charge, plus the higher plane fare for traveling on weekends, I have saved enough to have a "stress free" vacation anywhere I want to go on my own!

Any more suggestions?!

I find these timeshare units not using the money they collect from us to keep the rooms up. I find bedding needs to be replaced. I find Sea Mist needs to spend money on the minature golf course and fix up the beds to have more blankets in the units. I plan to go to the meeting to address my concerns.

Yes I can help you with this do you own a timeshare with Sea Mist restort.

the account is givin to you and you think they are going to volunteer info to you on someone elses account ha to you someone tried to steal my account that you but i was informed what was going on so maybe you should be happy there security is up to par

We have been II members for about 6 years and it keeps getting harder and harder to get an exchange. The last 5 times we haven't been able to. And right now we have a Request that has been pending for almost a year! It is a total nuisance and I am expecting that we will be able to use this system once we retire, because as of now it gets very difficult to coordinate vacations at work with the impossibility to plan in advance due to the lack of available resorts.
Quite frankly, I wish we had never bought a membership.

P.S. If your resort if highly sought after and you want to exchange for a resort that is highly sought after - do not just deposit your week. Do a request first. That gets you more bargaining power to get what you want.

Some facts are getting confused. You don't buy time shares from II, you buy a membership to exchange resorts from them. If someone sold you a time share and misinformed you about II that's on them - not II. The ability to exchange a time share has to do with what is available to trade, but it is also dependent on what you are able to deposit. People who purchased a nicer time share or a highly sought after week are going to get first crack at the highly sought after properties. And yes, if you try to snatch something further out you are going to have better luck than those who try to snatch something last minute.

I bought an II membership because I don't intend on going to the property I purchased. I have had no problems with II. I usually get a bonus week when I deposit my week, because my property is highly sought after. I have had no problems using the bonuses or my actual week. my actual week gives me more options than the bonus week, but nice places are still available with the bonus week. In fact I own a 1 bedroom, and I am always put into 2 bedrooms wherever I go.

One time I had a problem with a resort I booked. It said it had internet access in the rooms. We were looking for this feature because instead of taking an actual vacation we were going to work from home that week - but just do it at the resort instead. We get there to learn that the internet access in only in the lobby and only at select times - which is bad for us. We called II immediately and they got us transfered to another resort in the area that has in-room internet right away - at no cost to us. And this was a 10 p.m.

I never seem to have a problem with anyone I talk to at II. Some are more knowledgable than others - but the same can be said of any place.

Now, I've never tried to go to Hawaii. But, if I pop in my actual week (not my bonus week), Hawaii, Aruba, St. Maarten, Phuket, and other beautiful beach resorts are options.

Ability to exchange is really based on what you own. And the people at II are there to help facilitate your exchange. You really need to do some legwork on your own. They don't do everything for you. When we see an interesting property on II, we always research it ourselves. We go to the resort's own website and find out more info. Many times the resorts website has much more information available then the little snippet on II. We get the phone number to the resort and call up and ask any questions we have. If we don't like what we see or hear, then we cross that resort off.

I think people would complain less about time share exchange if they actually understood how it worked. Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation about the exchange system and some of it is put out there by the high-pressure sales people who will say anything to sell you a time share and get their commission. And no, I don't work for II.

If anyone is considering buying a time share, I would recommend either buying a place you're going to want to go to every year or buying a place that exchanges well. If you're at a high-pressure sales pitch - get your free gift and leave. The presentation we went to was not high-pressure at all. We were treated with respect, from the begining of the presentation. If you are not being treated with respect when someone is trying to sell you something - how are they going to treat you when they already have your money? I have been to timeshare presentations where the sellers were talking down about the guests there, and telling me how I would be entitled to more than the poor saps who already bought. We of course left. And don't take the seller's word that the property exchanges well. Do your own research.

I'm sorry the day I purchased a timeshare and the reason we are all complaining here is likely less about II .
IIs has increased the volume of available resorts substantially and I find if you have a Premier/Preferrred property and stick to this standard...you get a fairly decent place to stay. Anything without the Premier/Preffered logo is mostly garbage rat-traps.

I've suspected for some time that II has been withholding Premier property trades to sell. They are also more closely policing the exchange privileges of owners in a hierarchy or priority. You get what you pay for and any of us who bought a timeshare 15-25 years ago for a premium overpaid. Even our Premier same resort weeks are worthless now because its the maintenance fees which now generate the revenue. Anyone still shelling out $100000 and up on a timeshare purchase week has money to burn and ought to find better uses.

Alas...but in the last 2 years of trades.. ...we have only been able to stay a prime II Westin and Marriott properties in Hawaii, the Carribean, and Europe by booking the airfare and waiting until the final 30-60 days for late exchanges to yield a gem. You have less competition under 30-60 days and almost all primo properties come up then. Problem has now become that II won't just dump these on a request and tries to sell them, so you have to be vigilant and work their system to find the deposit.

Its become way too much work to try and exchange a week and the aggravation is what contributes overall to people needing vacation. For a good planner / shopper, you can find better properties than tradeable through II at less annually than your maintenance fees and all the II fees that you encounter for exchange, re-exchanges, etc. DONT buy a timeshare unless you get it for under $200, its Premier, and you can see the annual maintenance ($1200) being something you'd spend on a hotel anyway and want a bit larger room and a chance to haggle with limited options/supply.

I am really unhappy about II. Agree with comment regarding lack of availability. I put my week for exchange a year ahead and was not able to get the request.
I really regret buying two time shares with Marriott because I was told I was going to be able to exchange the weeks and go places, etc, but was never told about how hard it is to do so.

Your smugness and condescending tone is typical of this group of crooks. If the "resorts" I have stayed in were accurately described/pictured on Intervalworld's website, it would have helped a lot! Over the years, I have stayed at several of Interval's exchange resorts that were not as described or pictured on that website. In fact, I would not consider some of these places "resorts" at all! We bought a unit in a building that was still under construction, and we were promised a "5-star" experience. Not even close. We were outright lied to by our sales rep! She told us that we would have half off all flights booked through Orbitz.com for the life of our Interval International membership. That was an outright lie, and when we inquired about this after the purchase, nobody knew what in the heck we were talking about! We were also told that the rooms featured "luxury bedding" (not even close with no mattress pads even), would have "gourmet" kitchens stocked with everything you would need to cook a gourmet meal. Well I wouldn't cook a gourmet meal in chipped Teflon-coated pans and a burnt rubber spatula, but that's just me. The bedding was dirty, and the staff rude and snotty. I'm not sure what these maintenance fees are supposed to cover, but since they increase each year, I'd expect these "resorts" to be in better repair than they are. As far as the exchanges, you are lucky if you get the room you paid for. Just because you confirm and pay for an oceanFRONT (not oceanVIEW) unit does not mean that you actually receive that unit. I have dealt with balcony doors that would not open, leaky sinks, mold, dirty blankets, filthy carpet (my socks were black from walking on it!), NO closets (Boardwalk Inn, Va. Beach), more burnt cooking utensils, bathroom door that would not lock, bugs and rude "concierge" that kept trying to get us to waste another 90 minutes of our day to listen to them try to up-sell our unit. Purchasing a timeshare with these people was one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made. What a scam.

First of all do you all realize that an exchange is based on other members giving up there units as well. With the economy being in the shape it is people are not traveling very far from there homes. They are not doing the exchanges the way they used to.

II can not make inventory appear that is not being given to them. Hence the Getaway inventory. This is developer space not part of the exchange inventory. It is offered to give the members a chance to travel and stay at resorts not hotel rooms for an affordable price.

Also if members would actually take the time to read their terms and conditions and use the helpful tips that are given the system might actally work better. The other thing is you can actually research the resort that is being offered before you make a 100% commitment to exchange or purchase a getaway. The internet is a wonderful tool and you can then see if the resort is up to the standards you desire.

II can only offer the members what is available and give any advisemnts that are available. It is still up to you to do the research for your vacation.

As far as the costs go... Let us face facts... Everyone had had to increase their rates accross the board. What once was will never be again. The memberships that are being offered to you are created to actually try and save you some money for the long term.

The agents that answer the phones are not magicians but people. A lot of them really do care about the members and will go the extra mile to help where ever they can.

Although I do agree that customer service accross the world has depreciated and things are becoming way too automated. Please try and keep in mind that the agent you speak with might actually really care and want to help you. Also try and be realistic about your expectations on what you think you are owed. Your membership fees at II are not in the thousands as a matter of fact a 10 yr membership is under $1000.00.

We used a timeshare at Foxhunt Villas in Cashiers, NC. The first thing our check in clerk said was, I hope thats not your motorcycle trailer. It seems they have no parking for trailers. After a couple moves in the icy rain, They left us in a spot. How can you advertise a boat landing and say nothing about limited parking in the add. This was a joke and something needs to be done. There are a large number of bikers now who own timeshares. Fred Dantzler

would mlike to have information about complaints from members regards gerard burhenne

I have been with Interval for over 1o years and each time it gets worse. The exchange rate has skyrocketed, ther is no availibility, and customer service has been moved abroad and STINKS! They are inflexible. For years I have been giveing my children a week I can't use. Nowit costs $39 becuse they have a different lst name. I am doemn with them!

We requested an exchange on Feb 3, 2012, and paid the exchange fee of $169. We requested three months (June-July-August). We began calling the INTERVAL bi-weekly since their weekly to bi-weekly calls (showing they were working on the exchange?!) had stopped. We started calling them bi-monthly to monthly and were told we were calling too often. In June we also added 2 other resorts and still no response. Today, August 31, 2012, the request ended, and our 4 grandchildren are back in school.. You can't tell us there wasn't one condo available the ENTIRE SUMMER.. The Sheraton Broadway Plantation (STW) our first request, is a very large resort. We want our excange fee returned to us. We WILL NOT renew our membership with Interval International when it expires in 4 years.

Exchanged to go to San Francisco, Dec. 2 - Dec 9, 2023 in September - confirmation reservation accommodation states: "2 Privacy, 4 Maximum". I invited a couple to join me based on the privacy - so you decide if unit is actually '2 Privacy, 4 Maximum" (see below):

incident date:4/15/2023 /9am

Your company advertise the Inn at Golden Gate 2707 Lombard St San Francisco advertise the hotel has a complimetary continenial breakfast.One of the main reasons I picked this hotel.Which is false advertiseing.

My room does not even have a microwave oven so know I have to throw away food I brout to the room.

Lindsey gives extremely dangerous advise and should count herself quite lucky that she did not go into premature labor. No medical care to a preterm infant is a death sentence for the infant. Hopefully Lindsey is using better judgement raising her child now than when she did carrying her child.

We booked a cruise last year prior to finding out that I was pregnant. (Not through Interval). It was an Alaskan Cruise for the entire family. I then found out that they wouldn't allow me on after 24weeks pregnant. I was 29w @ cruise time. Nobody ever asked or said anything about me being pregnant. I wore a big sweatshirt and walked right on the ship.

The reason they do this is because if you were to go into premature labor there would be no medical care. I have a friend that works for Disney and has seen numerous VERY pregnant woman aboard. I think it's a don't ask, don't tell situation.

If you feel comfortable, maybe you should just try to go anyways. BTW - I had a great time on our cruise w/ no problems and it was 7 days :)

It is wonderful you find yourself pregnant. I realize it appears unreasonable to expect the cruise to inform each and every customer that books to state, "if you are pregnant you can't travel after 23 weeks" but that is standard for all travel. In life timing is everything, just bad timing. You can't expect a company to change the policy because of your situation, what would prevent someone else from demanding the same.

I’ve been calling to try and resolve login issues. I called [protected], spoke to someone that transferred me to someone else, I was then transferred again and again and again still not resolved. I have paid my fees and still can’t reserve a vacation. HORRIBLE

interval Egypt after i change with Dubai aalhabtoor resort they ask me to pay 2800 dolar obligatory for meal price more than booking

o Whom It May Concern

I am a Marriott owner in the Grand Vista Resort in Florida. I have been with Interval since 2005 I believe. I am very unhappy with the service Interval Provides.

I seem to NEVER get the resorts that I request. Unfortunately over the past 5 years, my husband has had many surgeries and we were unable to travel. In between surgeries, we were able to go to St. Martin 2 years ago. Many many times I requested places and they never ever came through.

Last week I used my home resort at the Marriott Grand Vista in Orlando. I requested the Marriott Grand Chateau in Vegas for July 21 to 28, however I just fell and torn my meniscus and patella. Everything is MONEY with your company. I dont normally take the insurance because I always go on the vacations when the seem to go through! I called today to ask for a replacement because I cannot go in July 21, I have to have the surgery.

They were kind enough to extend my week however, this whole thing with 59 days in advance is nothing but a scam. No resort anyway in the world will be available 59 days from submit. For example, since I can drive in a few weeks, I asked if I can have the resort in Wildwood NJ... Now he tried and its booked. Now think about airfare. You get a good rate you cannot book plane fair 59 days in advance. I have booked Florida 7 months in advance, I have booked Aruba 9 months in advance. the earlier you book airfare the cheaper it is.. SO now if I only can request a resort 59 days in advance with NO GUARANTEE that I will get it, how do you expect people to get airfare?

I feel this whole 59 days is unfair and nothing but a way for the consumer to loose the week. I have 2 weeks for my 2017 due to expire 3/2019. Again do to health reasons I didn't deposit early cause I didn't know if we could go anywhere? So now cause I deposited it late, you are now say that I cannot request anything until 59 days before the check in date. So now I have 2 weeks I cannot request, which I know every place in the world will be booked, and now this replacement week, same thing.

Chances are that these three weeks I will loose. I pay over 1400 in Marriott ownership fees, Marriott dues, Interval dues. that is a lot of money and most of the time I cannot even use the weeks for all different reasons. The most stupid reason and a Hugh rip off is this 59 days in advance. You give me a list of places that will take me 59 days in advance and get me cheaper Airfare and I will go to them.

I once waited 2 years for St. Lucia, and didn't get it. If it is that hard to get, take the place out of our book... you are wasting money and time for us to get another area! I have a request for St. Lucia again, lets so how many years I have to wait.

I have sent this complaint to Marriott Services because you really need to revamp this whole 59 day rip off policy. I am thinking of selling the timeshare due to this waste of money...

I do not feel it is fair that I can only request 59 days in advance for my 2017 2 weeks, nor this replacement week. I want what is fair, and I feel this is a very unfair scam.

Please see what you can do to lift this 59 days rip off so that I can today request another place within the year. I can pay the extension for the weeks that expire 3/2019 that will give me 6 more months, but I do not feel it is fair that I can request 59 days because you are setting us all up to fail... Call 10000 resorts 59 days in advance and you tell me how many will have a room.. Maybe Newark NJ !

SAVE YOUR MONEY! Interval International is somehow affiliated with Paradise Village Resort. It was the worst resort we ever visited! It is definitely NOT a 4 or 5 star hotel as stated. Overall, I might give it a 1. First of all, the place is old and in need of a major make-over. Food was somewhat ok. Better food off premise. Water was a murky brown not the crystal clear blue we anticipated. Room service was horrible. We received the wrong item and it took 45 min. to receive the correct order. Then I had to fight for them to issue a credit for the wrong item. The people who manage the outside activities are a separate entity. Staff was unfriendly unless you helped them earn a commission or purchased a time share. Our room smelled like urine for all of the 7 days. We opened windows, sprayed and alerted staff but no relief. There seems to be a tier system. Everyone involved in this scheme receives a commission. It's all about money. They can care less about making your visit enjoyable. A person calls you at you house right before you leave for vacation. She tells you to avoid anyone at the airport who tries to sell you something. She says they’re sketchy and you don't want to get involved in what they have to offer. The first day you arrive, people will be in the lobby to hunt you down. Once they get you attention, they feed you drinks and give you free and half price tickets for day excursions in hopes you will attend the 90 min. breakfast presentation. The 90 min. breakfast presentation turned into an 8 hour interrogation! It is then that you find out INTERVAL INTERNATIONAL is affiliated with Paradise Village Resort. I.I have all the150, 000 hotels, not Paradise, so you have to pay them yearly too!They break you down until you sign. You are at the mercy of very persistent salespeople who know their craft well. If one doesn’t get you to sign another one comes over. If you still won’t sign the ‘closer’ stops by the table. Now you have 3 people trying to con you into signing the contract. During this time, they lie, cheat and steal by offering free weeks, trips, memberships, etc. There is so much fraud, deception and misrepresentation going on in the presentation room. It makes me sick to think a human being can be so devious toward another human being just for the sake of taking your money.

I recently had a really bad customer service experience. I was pretty sure I verified my unit week before confirmation. It took me about 4 days to check my personal email and noticed that the unit week was changed. When I called interval, yes, I patiently waited on the phone, I was told that it was more than24 hours so nothing can be changed. I believe they changed my unit week on purpose so I have to pay for an extension or lose my week that was expiring. I could not even speak with a supervisor. There was nothing in the email indicating that interval must be notified within 24 hours of changes. I was told by the rude customer rep to look at page 300 something of the directory. What a bull! So much for customer service:-( the worst!

I'm sorry for those who have had bad experiences with II. Compared to my single interaction with RCI, II is stellar!
I've owned a timeshare since 1980 (2 for the last 3 years) and exchanged every year for the last 20+ years through II. Although I phoned II for the first years, I have exchanged online for the last 15 yrs, give or take. I purchased insurance once and used it without problems. Another year, I was even offered an extra 2 days at any resort when I had to leave early due to a death in the family.
Perhaps I'm prejudiced because I can travel off season and am able to schedule the timeframe of vacations easily. I simply look online for where I want to go with II, find out if anything is available, and change my plans if these don't line up. Is my choice unlimited? No, but I'm an off season and shoulder season traveler on the whole. Have I had to change my "wish list"? Sure have. But I've had great accommodations almost everywhere I've traded (New Zealand, Britain, Aspen, Vail, Washington, New Hampshire, Virginia, California, Orlando, among them). BTW, I usually trade for 2 bedroom/2 bath units, but I've traded for as large as 3 bedroom units.
Personally, I've discouraged people with young children from buying timeshares because they are so restricted as to when they can travel. I think timeshare ownership requires a lot of flexiblity, and those who can't be flexible are going to experience a degree of disappointment. But it's each person's choice.
BTW, I am NOT an employee of II, nor do I have any connection with them except as a customer. More than my two cents but II isn't the horror that has been painted here.

The resorts outside Disney Worldvery bad. We stay marriott grand vista blankets with holes and sheets. Also new blankets not wash with fabric softner smells like a dirty trash bag. I complain 4 times at the front desk all the say we gave you blankets.

Timeshares are one of those things you should NEVER, ever, ever buy. Straight up rip offs! Anyone who has ever taken even the most basic personal finance course knows that you never get involved with a timeshare! http://www.regattadesigns.com
