Interval Platinum Offers Luxury Upgrades to Timeshare Owners
Sunday, November 20, 2011
Yesterday’s edition of The Timeshare Authority blog looked at Interval International, 35 Years of Serving Timeshare Owners Plus New Features All the Time, specifically at the program Club Interval Gold, launched last spring.
Today we explore Interval Platinum, the program Interval International considers is its most prestigious level of membership. If you missed yesterday’s post, you will probably want to read it too, to make it easier to compare these two elite levels of timeshare exchange that Interval International now offers.
Interval Platinum, More than Timeshare Exchange
Interval Platinum was developed for timeshare owners who want high-end travel experiences and very personalized attention. This membership level offers all of the benefits and services of Interval Gold membership plus many travel-related products, an expanded level of exchange and Getaway perks, and always, very personalized service.
While some Interval Platinum benefits may vary by geographic region, generally some of the most available and most popular include:
- Platinum Service, which affords members specially trained advisers to assist with their vacation planning.
- Complimentary Exchange and Getaway Guest Certificates making it easy to gift travel to friends or family.
- Getaway Discounts of an extra $50 off already reduced Getaway vacation rentals.
- Interval Options, making it easy to exchange timeshare intervals or points for golf, cruise and spa vacations.
- Special Rates on companion airline tickets when members book two round-trip tickets to participating cities.
- Membership in Hertz# 1 Club Gold.
- ShortStay Exchange for trading weeks or points for multiple stays of less than 7 nights.
- Priority Getaway Access, providing priority viewing and booking of Getaway vacation rentals.
- Platinum Escapes, which are deeply discounted vacation rentals offered via email invitations.
- Personal Concierge assistance for purchasing concert tickets, dinner reservations, tee times and more.
- Discounts on hotels, dining, and other leisure activities.
- Airport Lounge Membership in the Priority Pass program at more than 600 airports.
Many Interval International timeshare exchange members see Interval Platinum is pretty special. As David Mier, Interval’s vice president, products and services explained to Perspective Magazine: “Within the first three months, (since launching Interval Platinum) we exceeded our annual forecast … it’s been very strong in Latin America and extremely strong in particular markets in Europe; Italy for instance, upgrades at twice the forecasted rate.”
Interval International Timeshare Exchange, 35 Years Young
Recognizing that no one way to vacation and no single membership option is ever right for all its members, Interval International continues to refine its products and services to its members. Today, with some 2600 timeshare resort destinations in more than 75 countries, Interval International is a powerful and most importantly—flexible—timeshare and vacation services option, providing value-added benefits for it members.
