We received a 219.00 offer from interval for a week. Had to call twice some how got disconnected first time. Thirty minutes later after working through prompts and being on perma-hold got through and still am confused. Very frustrating, havent had to call Interval for some time and not sure I want to in the future. Just curious if this is the norm or was my experience a fluke?

A few in S and VA, a single resort in NC, MD, PA, and UT, plus Jamaica and the Bahamas
It sounds like an AC. Most are viewable and usable online.

If it's an AC, just log on to your II Acct., and it will be listed as a deposit, and you can search online like normal. Don't get your hopes up - these have limited value.

Online, there will be a grid that will show you exactly what you can exchange for - no need to call.

Expect it to include areas with more supply than demand. Not Hawaii, or Europe, or other prime destinations.

I think they gave those away to most everyone. I received 3 - one for each II account. I'm offering them to co-workers. One guy took a Cabo week.
