This is a very deceptive offer.

Beware the offer when you make an Interval International exchange to "Change your destination, resort, unit size, or travel dates up to three times for a low, one time fee. Purchase E-Plus within five days of confirmation and increase your flexibility." The cost is $49. Click that Purchase button and no additional terms and conditions are made available. They only want your credit card information.

Here is the trouble with this deal: You can only trade down on the unit size. If your original unit was more trading power than the one you exchanged into, you have lost that additional trading power. I traded from a 1 BR to an efficiency and thought this deal would let me get a 1 BR unit if one came available. But I am stuck at the smaller unit's trading power. This is useless.

BTW, you have to manually search, there is no way to request.

It is also non-refundable. There offer is misleading and they do not fully disclose the terms. Very disappointing, II.

I only found this by doing a search using another deposit I had, and then searching for the same using the E-Plus feature. The unit did not appear! People don't even know that they have been downsized.
