I just happened to be looking something up in the interval rules and I saw this: https://www.intervalworld.com/iimedia/pdf/Standard_Amendment_112823.pdf
Changes start February 1, 2024
The changes I can see if I am reading it correctly instead of 5 days to add eplus you will now have 14 days.
That seems like a good change.
Now for the bad. It looks like instead of being able to use eplus up until the day before check in, you will now have to do it 14 or more days before check in. 59-14 still limited and 13 and under not allowed at all.
AMENDMENT TO THE 2023 BUYERS’ GUIDE TO THE INTERVAL INTERNATIONAL® EXCHANGE PROGRAM The following is an amendment to the 2023 Buyers’ Guide regarding the Interval International Exchange Program, which amendment is effective as of February 1, 2024: REVISED PARAGRAPH 7 UNDER “GENERAL EXCHANGE PROCEDURES AND PRIORITIES” (a) For Members who wish to change their Host Accommodations subsequent to receiving a Confirmation, but without canceling their Confirmation, E-Plus is available to allow Individual Members to “retrade” their original Confirmation, up to a total of three (3) times, upon the payment of an additional fee. The use of E-Plus may be purchased at any time, commencing at the time an exchange request is initially placed and continuing up to 14 days following the issuance of a Confirmation, so long as the purchase is prior to the first date of occupancy of the Host Accommodations and the Host Resort is in good standing with II. E-Plus may be used to secure up to three (3) retrades of the Member’s Host Accommodations and/or vacation periods at any time, up to 12 months after the first date of occupancy of the Host Accommodations associated with the original Confirmation (the “E-Plus Usage Window”). Once established, the E-Plus Usage Window does not change upon any subsequent retrade. (b) When transacting an E-Plus retrade, the Member may view available Host Accommodations, and an E-Plus retrade will be instantly issued if the desired accommodations are available at the time the retrade is initiated. The pending request process may not be used with E-Plus. Retrade requests may be made online or by phone. (c) (i) When the Member transacts an E-Plus retrade 60 days or more from the first date of occupancy of the original Confirmation or, if applicable, previously issued retrade, they will be entitled to select available accommodations with travel dates any time up to the expiration of the E-Plus Usage Window. (ii) When the Member requests an E-Plus retrade 59 days to 14 days prior to the first date of occupancy of the original Confirmation or, if applicable, initial retrade, the Member may only select from accommodations that have occupancy dates commencing up to 60 days after the first date of occupancy of the original Confirmation or previously issued retrade. Any subsequent retrade request may only be for Host Accommodations with occupancy dates 60 days or less prior to the first date of occupancy of the current retrade. (iii) E-Plus may not be used to change Host Accommodations less than 14 days prior to the first date of occupancy of the current Host Accommodations. (d) For E-Plus retrades where points (inclusive of Club Interval Points and Collection Points) were relinquished for the original Confirmation: (i) Where the number of points required for the retrade is equal to or less than the number of points required for the original Confirmation or, if applicable, previously issued retrade, no points will be returned to the Member’s II account, Club Interval Points account, or Collection Points account. (ii) Where the number of points or Club Interval Points required for the retrade is greater than the amount relinquished for the original Confirmation or, if applicable, previously issued retrade, the Member will be required to relinquish the additional points needed. A retrade will not be confirmed until the availability of the required number of points is verified by the Home Resort. (e) Only one purchase of E-Plus may be made as to any particular Confirmation. (f) E-Plus may not be purchased for use with a ShortStay Exchange Confirmation, an Interval Options Confirmation, or with respect to the purchase of accommodations through the Getaway Program. (g) E-Plus may not be used to secure a retrade where the Host Accommodations have become unavailable for occupancy for any reason. (h) E-Plus may not be available to owners at some Member Resorts because of the Home Resort’s internal rules. (i) II’s Exchange Cancellation Policies do not apply to an E-Plus retrade.
