Vacation Exchange Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the Elite Alliance exchange program?
The Elite Alliance exchange program was established to enhance the value, flexibility, and enjoyment of vacation home ownership. Elite Alliance members can experience exciting new destinations by exchanging vacations with owners at other participating residence clubs and resort communities that meet Elite Alliance's demanding standards of quality, location, and service. Elite Alliance properties are in many of the world's most coveted destinations. Your Elite Alliance staff coordinates between Elite Alliance properties and provides complete travel services for its members.

What are Elite Credits & how are the values of Elite Credits determined & incorporated into the exchange process?
Every residence club and luxury, professionally managed vacation home is assigned Elite Credits based on the destination’s desirability, location, seasonality, and residence size. Elite Credits are credited to a member’s account upon deposit of a vacation and debited when that member reserves an exchange vacation. Members have up to twenty-four (24) months from the arrival date of the deposited vacation to use their Elite Credits.

What are the three types of Elite Alliance vacations: Exchange Vacations, Elite Escapes, and Access Vacations?
Exchange vacations are deposited vacations that range from $395 - $995 to reserve, and arrival dates range from short-notice to future availability.
Elite Escapes are short-notice vacations, available sixty (60) days prior to the vacation arrival date. Reserving an Elite Escape does not require Elite Credits. Elite Escapes would be valued at many thousands of dollars but are made available to our members for $695 - $1,995.
