Interval International

What Interval International does

Interval International is a Miami-headquartered, privately held vacation ownership exchange company founded in 1976. It operates one of the world's largest timeshare and points-exchange networks, comprising more than 3,200 affiliated resorts in over 90 countries and serving nearly 1.6 million member families, supported by offices in 12 countries and 5,001–10,000 employees globally. The company enables members to trade their home resort week or points for stays at other resorts in the network, with complementary products including Getaways (last-minute discounted resort bookings), E-Plus (a $89 retrade-flexibility add-on), Flexchange (within 59 days of check-in), ShortStay Exchange, Interval Options, Guest Certificates, and tiered memberships (Interval Gold, Interval Platinum).

The underlying platform combines an online resort directory, an exchange request and tracking system, a Getaways booking engine, and mobile applications for iOS and Android (Interval International To Go). The platform is extended through strategic integrations with Priceline Partner Solutions (Priceline, Agoda, Booking.com) for discounted hotel, flight, and car bookings, and with Allianz Global Assistance for trip protection insurance including epidemic coverage. Content and engagement layers include Interval HD video content, the Interval World Magazine publication, and member communications across web, email, and social channels.

The revenue model is a hybrid of recurring membership dues, per-transaction exchange and Getaways fees, E-Plus ($89 one-time) charges, and value-added services sold to resort developers. Go-to-market is primarily sales-led via resort developer partnerships that enroll vacation ownership owners at the point of sale, complemented by direct-to-consumer digital acquisition through IntervalWorld.com, the mobile app, and member referrals. The company celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2026, reflecting a mature, stable operating model rather than a venture-backed growth profile.
