Trading Places International has selected its most consistently requested exchange destinations for the "Premier Access" Family of Resorts. Benefits include free exchanges within the "Premier Access Family of Resorts," Premier Time, season and unit upgrades, and more. Please refer to your Premier Access Directory or call Trading Places for detailed information.

Can I split my week through Premier Access?
Yes! You may split your week into three and four night trips. You may make split week reservations up to 90 days in advance. There is a $59 transaction fee for each split week reservation. There may be an additional housekeeping fee charged by the resort. You will be provided specific fee information when you make your reservation.

Can we use only part of our week?
You can't reserve just part of a week. You must reserve a full seven days for each week of use, but you may be able to exchange a three or four day portion of your reserved time depending on the exchange company's rules. Of course, the number of days you actually stay is up to you, but you will be considered to have used all of whatever you reserved or exchanged.

When does my owner week expire?
Your owner week expires at the end of each calendar year. If you cannot use your week during that year, please call a representative to discuss your options.

Can a guest use my unit?
Yes a guest can use your unit. Just give Trading Places a call and let them know the name of the guest. There is no fee for your guests to use your unit.

When is check in / check out time?
Check in time at Royal Resort is 3:00 pm. Check out time is 10:00 am.

When can I book Premier Time?
Premier Time is perfect for last minute vacations at various resorts and requires a two night minimum stay. Royal Resort owners can book bonus time at one of the resorts (including their home resort) as long as the reservation is booked within 21 days of the arrival date, based on availability.

What are the nightly Premier Time rates?
The Premier Time rates start at $52 a night with a $15 one-time reservation fee.

How do we use our owner time?
There are lots of options. You can spend the time at your home resort; you can exchange your time to another resort; you can exchange your time for a different time at your home resort; or you can deposit it for use next year. Believe it or not, you can even use next year's week this year.

What if we want to exchange for another week, at or at another resort?
You need to contact Trading Places International or one of the other exchange companies and deposit your reservation with them. Then you can use that deposited week to search for availability and exchange to where you want to go.

Do we have to know which resort we want to exchange into at the time we deposit?
No. But, just like making your reservation, the earlier you request a specific location, the more likely you are to get it.

Sometimes we can't take a vacation and other times we can take more than one week. Is there anything we can do about that?
There sure is. Through TPI or other exchange company you can save this year's week and use it next year along with that year's week. Or, you can use next year's week along with this year's. Also, don't forget you can often rent additional time at the resort where you're staying. It's a great way to extend your vacation. And, sometimes you can get better flight arrangements by traveling on a different day. If you do, just rent the additional time you need.

We own Fixed Time. Do we need to make a reservation?
No, not exactly. That is, you don't need to make a reservation, but you should let Trading Places know in order to use your week or to exchange or rent it, as you'll need a confirmation.

What if we can't use our reserved week at all? Can we carry it over to next year?
No. At least, not without giving it to an exchange company like Trading Places first. They can accrue it for you and allow you to use it within the next two years.
