Trading Places International (TPI) is committed to offering timeshare owners a robust timeshare exchange network that is easy to use, affordable and filled with value. We are constantly seeking ways to improve our products & maximize resort availability for members, while keeping fees lower than other industry leaders. We are pleased to announce some exciting changes to TPI’s Exchange program that we hope you will take advantage of. All changes below are effective January 23, 2025.

Increased Availability

TPI has partnered with Capital Vacations to offer members blanketed availability year-round in several high-demand markets across TPI’s Exchange Network…INCLUDING PEAK SEASON WEEKS! Markets with increased availability include (but not limited to):

  • Hawaii
  • Myrtle Beach
  • Florida (Coast & Orlando)
  • Cape Cod
  • Branson
  • Palm Springs/Desert
  • Sedona

Featured Destinations with Discounted Exchange Fees

  • Featured Destinations are a select group of quality resorts in high-demand markets like Florida, Myrtle Beach & Branson. Featured Destination resorts will be clearly marked when searching availability.
  • Select any week available at these resorts and pay a discounted Exchange Fee.
  • Featured Destinations are not limited to off-season weeks…peak-season weeks will be available for the discounted fee as well.

New Exchange Fees are as follows:

  • Featured Destinations: $149 ($20 off)
  • All Other Resorts: $169

Prime Membership Required

  • Participation in Trading Places’ Exchange program requires an active Trading Places Prime membership, which requires a $99 membership fee.
  • Members who have existing accounts as Trading Places Classic will be required to upgrade to Prime before depositing a week or booking a reservation.
  • Sign-in to your account to view your current membership level & expiration date.
  • We have built discounts into the pricing of our Exchange Fees, Upgrades & Hot Deals. Effective 1/23/25, membership discounts previously offered to Prime members have been discontinued.

Tier Values Replace Seasonalities

  • TPI’s Red/White/Blue seasonality has been replaced with “Tier Values”.
  • Tier Values are assigned to each resort week based on supply & demand and are based on a 6-Tier scale: Tier 1 (Lowest) to Tier 6 (Highest).
  • Tier Values will be visible during the deposit process, before you commit your week, and will be clearly displayed for all weeks listed in our Availability Searches.
  • All members have access to all Tier Values and can exchange into a higher Tier Value at any time by paying the Tier Value upgrade fee.

Bonus Weeks are Discontinued

  • Bonus Weeks associated with the “2-for-1” Deposits benefit previously offered have been discontinued. Bonus Weeks will no longer be issued in connection with any membership benefits.
  • Members who have unused Bonus Weeks will still be able to use them through the Bonus Week expiration date.
  • Bonus Weeks can be used to book reservations from the Exchange Availability list and are limited to Tier 1 to Tier 4 inventory.
  • Bonus Weeks are assigned a value of Tier 2. Bookings made for Tier 3 and Tier 4 inventory will require payment of a Tier Value Upgrade Fee.
