Thread: I can't use my free week thru Interval International...what can I do with it?

Well, I was able to find a week at Riviera Spa Resort in Capistrano Beach that will fit our schedule...so I am good now. I am a little ticked off at the salesman though. However, what do you expect from a TS salesmen?

I too have gone to several presentations where 'renting' was brought up as a viable option for owners.

I called DRI and they said I can book a week and then add someone as a guest so they can use it for $39 fee plus the exchange fee. My question is how much is this worth?...
