Timeshare Exchange Companies

Timeshare can be incredibly flexible if you’re a savvy owner. If you fancy a bit of a change, why not exchange your week? Because there are nearly six thousand timeshare resorts across the world, you have many choices. In order to exchange, you must become a member of one of the timeshare exchange companies.

You may choose to return to your home resort year after year. You could trade your week for any of the thousands of affiliated resorts throughout the world. Or you could alternate back and forth between the two!  It is this kind of owner flexibility that brought the timeshare industry from nothing more than a great idea 30 years ago to the multi-billion dollar industry it is today.

Can I Exchange my Timeshare Weeks for Another Resort?

Most reputable timeshares sold are exchangeable around the world through RCI, Interval International, Dial an Exchange or other exchange organisations.  As a result, you can choose which company is right for you.

What are Timeshare Exchange Companies and How Do They Work?

There are several timeshare exchange companies. The most well-known are Resort Condominiums International (RCI) and Interval International (II). These exchange companies are affiliated with over 5,000 resorts across the globe. The concept is really quite simple. Timeshare exchanging means to trade your week at your resort with another timeshare owner’s week at another resort.

RCI and Interval International process over 3 million exchanges every year. With the addition of DialAnExchange, there are even more options! Costs for joining these timeshare exchange companies vary, and we have provided a breakdown below.

Dial An Exchange

Out of all timeshare exchange companies, DialAnExchange is probably the most recent.
