We have been a member of interval international for 10+ years and have finally had enough! I have 3 wks per year with marriott that i have banked with interval and have requested one week of vacation at 30+ locales for a one month period approx. Mid december 2010 to mid jan 2011. I agreed to be on a "pending list" in july for the fee of $139. 00. Nothing has opened since then, but we recieve calls from interval every week that ring twice then hang - up. Whenwe call back they try to sell us a new 3 year contract with them for 15% of retail price while mentoining they have no exchange for us. I realize now what the travel savvy have known for years. . . Never invest in a timeshare! The price of the buy - in, maintenence fees, exchange fees, and pending reservation fees, would buy a week per year at the ritz - carlton or equivalent the rest of our lives. Something to ponder before you invest in ii. . . What a rip - off.
