Here's a new wrinkle into the timeshare industry. My husband and I picked up a very inexpensive week at the Imperial Hawaiian Resort on Lewers Street in Honolulu--where we are at the moment. We went to an owner's forum and learned that Interval International is now going to a point system--which the Imperial is now going to use. Since our week is deeded we can keep things as they are, or pay Interval $2,995 to buy into the point system. They claim this will open up trades with all the companies that II has in their system. Has anyone out there had much success dealing with II for great trades? We certainly haven't and I strongly suspect that it's because the great properties have very little inventory to give II. Any thoughts?
