Terms and Conditions

Rules and Regulations/Terms of Service
Since 1979, Platinum Interchange® (“PI”) has provided various services including, but not limited to, exchange services to individual timeshare owners at resorts managed by Tricom Management, Inc. (“Tricom”) and to individual owners/members at other timeshare resorts. PI is an operating division of Tricom*, offering an exchange and rental service for use by its members, owners, and, in circumstances, other travel and leisure benefits. Tricom is a California Corporation. Every year, each individual owner/member at a Tricom managed resort automatically receives a free PI membership with no annual dues, which entitles them to services and benefits at specific prices. PI presently extends the automatic annual free membership and no annual dues to individual timeshare owners at select non-Tricom managed resort properties. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, PI reserves the right to terminate any membership at any time for any lawful purpose. The name and address of the Exchange and Rental Company, (and Tricom): Platinum Interchange – 4025 East La Palma Avenue, Suite 103, Anaheim, CA 92807; 3700 Las Vegas Blvd. South Las Vegas, NV 89109; 1-800-854-2324, 714-779-7900, Fax (714) 630-2029.
Neither PI nor Tricom sells, leases, or otherwise conveys an interest in any property. Therefore, you (we), hereby, agree that PI and/or Tricom are not liable or responsible for any claim or loss incurred in connection with your ownership of a vacation interest or your participation in a vacation ownership program.
By using PI’s services, all members are in agreement to abide by all the terms and conditions, restrictions, guidelines, rules and regulations of PI. Shall member contest, dispute or fail to abide by the terms and conditions, restrictions, guidelines, rules and regulations, their PI membership may be revoked and the member is no longer a member in PI’s exchange and rental programs. PI reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. PI solely reserves the right to select which resorts are participants in PI. PI is authorized to change the list of participating resorts at any time without notification.

Exchange Program
PI acts as an independent reciprocal reservation system for units of accommodation of its participating individual members at various national and international resort destinations. Units of accommodation include, but are not limited to, hotel rooms, studio/efficiency units and one, two and three-bedroom suites. PI individual members deposit accommodation weeks, nights or points**. In exchange, PI individual members withdraw and receive the equivalent number of weeks, nights or points of accommodation occupancy deposited by other individual members. When an owner banks a week with PI, that banked week is available as an exchange to PI’s members. If that week is still in PI’s inventory at 90 days or less prior to the arrival date of the week deposited, that week may be used exclusively by PI for rental and/or exchange purposes at PI’s sole discretion.
Exchanges are on a space available basis. PI makes no guarantees of fulfillment of any individual members specific exchange request(s). PI will make its best effort to fulfill PI individual members exchange request. However, PI can only offer for exchange what PI individual members deposit in the program. PI individual members understand that the accommodation unit size, design, occupancy restrictions, furnishings and amenities among other things, of the accommodation unit at the resort into which the member exchanges may differ from those of member’s own deposited accommodation unit(s). Further, the amenities package at the resorts exchanged into may also differ. Therefore, PI individual members understand that PI cannot be held responsible for resort amenities packages or accommodation unit interiors or occupancy restrictions.
Representations concerning PI, affiliated entities, authorized representatives, and any other third party affiliates of PI are limited in scope to materials provided or otherwise authorized by PI in writing. Any and all other representations are not binding or valid with respect to PI and affiliated entities of PI. The PI Exchange Directory is not inclusive of all resorts and this does not mean members are not entitled to use the exchange privilege for a resort not featured in the Directory. Likewise, featured resorts in the Directory do not necessarily indicate that members are entitled to use their exchange privilege at such resorts. PI has made reasonable efforts to ensure that resort information in the Directory is accurate. However, PI is not liable in the event of error, omission, and/or representation.
Member(s) will lose the use and occupancy of their timeshare interval in a properly applied for exchange, without being provided substitute accommodations by the exchange program, if they cancel or change their confirmed exchange.
Member(s) can Only deposit their “Use Time” reservations at the individual member’s home resort with an Exchange or Rental company.
Platinum Interchange Exchange and Rental reservations are “Exclusive“: Reservations booked with PI cannot be deposited with another Exchange or Rental company, or any other company or individual, or use for any other purpose.

Exchange Fees
The exchange fees currently are $129.00 for a domestic exchange and $149.00 for an international exchange.
PI reserves the right to change the exchange fees at any time at its sole discretion and will post notice of and communicate to members any such changes through the PI Internet website and in writing through PI member mailings.
Member(s) are responsible for payment of any applicable transient occupancy tax, sales tax or similar state, country or local tax that may be imposed on the occupant of the Resort accommodations.
Full payment of exchange service fee(s) is due and payable at the time of exchange reservation confirmation.
The exchange upgrade fee is $97.00 per upgrade for larger suite size, travel during a Platinum Interchange Holiday, and/or utilizing a second weekend, subject to availability (certain restrictions may apply depending upon the Resort – contact PI for futher information).
Platinum Interchange allows the flexibility to upgrade your exchange: A) To a larger suite (based upon occupancy guidelines), B) Travel during a Platinum Interchange Holiday* week, and/or C) Utilizing a second weekend.
Upgrades are subject to availability. If options A., B. and/or C. apply to your exchange, you are required to pay an upgrade fee and additional upgrades fees, as applicable. For example, if you want to exchange from a Studio Suite (occupancy two/sleeps two) into a Studio Suite (occupancy four/sleeps four), then one upgrade fee will apply (option A.). If during this same exchange you also want to travel during a Platinum Interchange Holiday, like Memorial Day, then you are required to pay another upgrade fee (option B.). In this example provided, hereto, your one exchange would then be subject to two upgrade fees (options A. and B.); in addition, to the exchange fee. Please refer to the Exchange Info page for additional information. All information is subject to change and may vary per resort. Certain restrictions may apply depending upon the Resort-contact Platinum Interchange for further information.

Platinum Interchange Cancellation Guard for Vacation Exchanges
Cancellation Guard Terms and Conditions:

1. 1. If a customer elects to purchase the Cancellation Guard (hereafter referred to as “CG”) for an exchange transaction, the exchange cancellation is permitted on an exchange only if the customer cancels forty-eight (48) hours or more prior to the arrival date of the exchange reservation. If customer cancels an exchange within the permitted time frame, customer will receive the deposited week back to use for one future exchange. Such returned deposited week due to the original exchange cancellation, must be used by the expiration date as verified by an authorized Platinum Interchange representative at time of the cancellation (customer may elect to extend the expiration date by purchasing an extension fee). The Platinum Interchange representative will also send the expiration date in writing (email, mail or facsimile communications) to the customer within 14 business days of the cancellation. Customer must comply with the expiration date and all other terms and conditions in order for the CG to take effect.
   2. At the time of booking an exchange, customer has within forty-eight (48) hours of the booking to purchase CG. If customer does not purchase CG within the
      allotted time frame of booking the original exchange, CG is no longer available as an option to purchase for the original exchange booking. CG must be purchased within the allotted time frame of booking the exchange, and customer must contact Platinum Interchange according to the terms and conditions set forth in 1.(c).
   3. Customer may cancel their exchange forty-eight (48) hours or more prior to the arrival date of the exchange reservation. Customer must contact an authorized Platinum Interchange representative by the allotted time frame, and notify about their exchange cancellation. Email and voicemail cancellation requests are not accepted as proper notification, and only telephonic contact between the customer who booked the original exchange and a Platinum Interchange representative is permissible notification for cancellation. Customer must notify of cancellation within Platinum Interchange’s normal operating hours.
   4. Customer agrees and understands that once the exchange is cancelled by them under the CG policy, customer cannot make any alterations, modifications, or the like. Customer and their guests are prohibited from checking into the exchange resort, at any time, during the original confirmed reservation dates once customer notifies of exchange cancellation. The original confirmed exchange reservation is null and void once cancellation notification is received by Platinum Interchange.
2. 1. Customer may opt to utilize Platinum Interchange’s CG to secure their original exchange fee and upgrade fees for one future exchange with specific terms and conditions (detailed herein). Exchange fee and upgrade fees (as applicable) paid by customer at the time of booking the original exchange week (which is cancelled) under the CG are NON-REFUNDABLE; however, such applicable fees are applied as a credit toward one future exchange confirmed and booked by the expiration date of the exchange deposit used against the original exchange.
   2. The exchange fee and upgrade fees (as applicable) are NON-REFUNDABLE, and will be applied solely as a credit toward one future exchange within the allotted time frame (determined by Platinum Interchange). If customer purchased the CG within the allotted time frame (determined by Platinum Interchange) of booking the original exchange, and does not cancel their original exchange according to the terms and conditions, then the CG fee is NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE to any other future exchange transactions; the original exchange is NON-RETURNABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE to any future transactions. Customer, thereby, forfeits any and all transaction fees, CG fee and the deposited exchange week is expired, meaning null and void for any future exchanges.
   3. If customer meets the above requirements and cancels an exchange within the allotted time, then customer will receive a credit that only applies to one future exchange ( with the same guest name and assigned expiration date). The credit only applies to the one future exchange which resulted from the original exchange being cancelled under the purchased CG. The credit cannot be applied to any other transactions or persons with Platinum Interchange, and is only transferable to the one future exchange before the expiration date. The one future exchange, resulting from the original exchange cancellation under the CG, must be used by the assigned expiration date as verified by an authorized Platinum Interchange representative, and any applicable credit from the original exchange cancellation will be applied to the one future exchange.The guest using the credit from the original exchange cancellation under the CG must be same guest as was listed on the original exchange.
3. The CG fee is $45 per full week exchange, and $22.50 for partial (2-4 night) exchanges. Customer must pay the CG fee within forty-eight (48) hours of booking the exchange. Under the CG, the CG cannot be purchased for the one future exchange resulting from the original exchange cancellation. CG applies to one exchange only (Full or Partial week). If customer has more than one exchange and elects to purchase additional CG protection, the fee is $45 per additional full week exchange, and $22.50 for partial (2-4 night) exchanges (all other terms and conditions listed above apply to the additional CG protected exchange week(s)). For example, customer has three full weeks and books all three exchange weeks at the same time. Then, customer purchases CG for each exchange within the forty-eight (48) hours, as described in section 1 above, and customer pays a total of $135.00 for CG protection.
4. If the exchange fee, authorized as a credit guarded with CG, to be transferred to the one future exchange is less than the exchange fee’s future rate, then customer must pay the difference of the exchange fee at the time of booking the one future exchange. If customer does not use all of their credit (originating from the cancelled exchange) when booking the one future exchange, then the remaining balance of credit is NON-REFUNDABLE, NON-RETURNABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE for any other future transactions. For example, if customer has a credit for an exchange fee and two upgrade fees originating from the cancelled exchange, and at the time of booking the one future exchange elects to only use the exchange fee credit and one upgrade fee credit, then customer forfeits the remaining credit for the other upgrade fee. Customer is prohibited from using any remaining credits and such credits are null and void.
5. The CG Terms and Conditions are subject to change without notice. Modifications to the CG Terms and Conditions will be posted on the Platinum Interchange website.
6. All exchange transactions are subject to inventory availability.
7. All exchange transactions may be subject to additional fees and taxes (i.e. city/county taxes, key fees, resort parking, resort cleaning fees), and customer is solely responsible for paying any and all such fees/taxes. Such additional fees and taxes (paid at time of exchange booking) are subject to a refund at time of cancellation.

Exchange Specials/Promotional Offers
PI’s exchange specials/promotional offers (hereafter referred to as “offer(s)”) have certain terms, restrictions and expiration dates. An authorized PI representative will inform customers about terms, restrictions and expiration dates if such information is not expressly stated elsewhere on the PI website and/or collateral marketing materials. Customers agree to abide with the offers terms, restrictions and expiration dates or the offers are deemed null and void. All offers apply to full weeks only. Offers do not apply to partial weeks. Customers must mention the offer prior to confirming the reservation, with acceptable payment, in order for the offer to take effect. Limit one (1) discount per customer per promotion. Booking windows and expirations dates apply to all offers. PI has the sole right to terminate the offers at any time without notice.
