Exchange fees are standard procedure ANYWHERE... (by Phil L.):

In fairness to II, **ALL** exchange companies charge an exchange fee for making ANY exchange --- that's the business they are in.

Exchange companies are in business to make a profit --- not to be your friend or to facilitate your vacations for free. Profit motive is the reason why they exist at all and it's the reason why they charge membership fees and exchange fees (which are both purely voluntary choices for the consumer). With due respect, if you don't want to pay for those particular services, you can always make the personal choice to just not use them...

Ken, great answer and to the point!

People also need to understand that when you trade with II you trade! Most owners can still remember this is why they bought their timeshare.

You get charged small fee which is part of the business but when you trade you trade and not like Redweek where you might also have to add few hundred dollars if your moving up in trade!
