Yes, this is how it works with respect to the Interval fees and I've experienced this.
Enrolling your week - Please note that, in my view, you are not changing the underlying character of your legacy week ownership but you are adding additional options. These options include being able to trade your week for Dest. pts, the ability to use the pts to acquire vacation days/weeks, greater flexibility in timing, and a flat fee to cover Interval charges. I enrolled our weeks right after the program was offered and I am happy with the added options/benefits. At the time we enrolled, I think we also received an Interval bonus week or two as an inducement to enroll our weeks - ask about this.
