The Accor system is points and I can use my points in II if that is what you mean. When I do a search it looks like this -

Presley- neither was I , but they have been around a few years. They are what books the short stay vacation you see in our sightings from time to time.
CarolF- II points are much higher than what you posted for Accor.
From what I hear they can be sold for as much as a little over 3k or as little as $ 500, and they seem to be less stringent and more flexible than RCI points.

The Interval Gold membership gives short stay vacations to both weeks and points members.

Interval Gold
As a vacation owner, you and your family can enjoy great, affordable vacations year after year. And with Interval Gold®, you get all the great benefits of Interval membership, plus a whole lot more.*

Interval Gold membership upgrades your choices to help you make the most of your vacation time and gives you much more exchange power.

· With ShortStay ExchangeSM, you can trade your week for two vacations of 1 to 6 nights each.
If you’re a points-based member, you can take as many ShortStay Exchanges as your available
points allow.
· Try something completely different on your next vacation with Interval Options® and trade your
week or points toward the purchase of a cruise, golf, or spa vacation.
You’ll have the same great access to Getaways — affordable weeklong resort vacations that don’t require an exchange — but Interval Gold members get great discounts on each one you take! Talk about an incentive to travel more often.

Interval Gold also provides valuable services and discounts you can use at home or when traveling.

Interval International Launches Club Interval Gold Points System.

"Flexibility Redefined with Launch of Club Interval Gold"

New Membership and Exchange Program Combines the Best of Vacation Ownership


Interval International, a prominent worldwide provider of vacation services and an operating business of Interval Leisure Group, extends its innovative product line-up with Club Interval GoldSM, a points-based exchange service for owners of fixed- or floating-week timeshares. The global program combines all the membership benefits of Interval International and Interval Gold(R) and offers a more flexible vacation exchange experience.


While Club Interval Gold is purchased directly from participating Interval-affiliated resorts, new buyers and existing owners who enroll in the program will be served by dedicated advisors through Interval's Member-Services Centers.

"Since 1994, Interval has offered members with points-based interests the ability to trade points for traditional weeks. More recently, Gold members have also been able to take advantage of ShortStay Exchange for as many vacations as their points allow," said Jeanette Marbert, Interval's chief operating officer. "Now, Club Interval Gold offers week-owners the flexibility to convert their vacation time into points.

They can use points to access resorts in our worldwide network, or redeem them to travel as they choose, from a weekend golf getaway to a weeklong family cruise. We know that consumers will enjoy the many advantages of this exciting new program."

From day one of enrollment, Club Interval Gold members can utilize their points to further enhance their vacation exchange experiences in the following ways:

Exchange throughout Interval's worldwide network of approximately 2,600 resorts.
Choose ShortStay ExchangeSM to take as many quick breaks (from two to six nights each) as available points allow.
Search and confirm across various locations, unit sizes, and seasons, and for as many stays as available points allow.
Combine deposits to increase the points balance and trade up to larger units and/or higher-season vacations.
Select Interval Options(R) to apply points toward the purchase of a cruise, spa, or golf vacation.
Club Interval Gold also adds value to Interval's resort-developer clients at the point of sale, with minimal operational change and no upfront inventory commitments. "We have created a program that is flexible for both our developers and their owners," added David Gilbert, executive vice president of resort sales and marketing for Interval. "It can be used exclusively at the point of sale, as an upgrade program, or both.

Owners are not obligated to join for a minimum number of years, and they control their home resort weeks until they determine how to use them. It really does offer the best of both worlds to our valued resort clients and consumer members."

Club Interval Gold members also receive these travel and leisure benefits, which may vary by market:

Getaway Discounts - $25 off the prices of all Getaway vacation rentals.
VIP ConciergeSM - 24/7 personal assistance for purchasing concert tickets, making dinner reservations, and more.
Hotel, Dining, and Leisure Discounts- Access to more than 75,000 premium discounts from Entertainment(R) at IntervalWorld.com.
Hertz #1 Club Gold(R)- Complimentary membership that provides expedited car rentals at more than 1,000 locations in 23 countries.
Interval Travel(R) for rates often unavailable to the general public on cruises, hotel stays, rental cars and airline tickets.
Member publications including the Interval International Resort Directory (available through complimentary iPhone(R), iPad(R), and BlackBerry(R) apps as well), Interval World magazine, and the Go IntervalWorld.com newsletter.

I just had a look at the difference in price for the different II memberships -

Interval Membership - 5 years - AU$329
Interval Gold - 5 years - AU$319
Interval Platinum - 5 years - AU$636

seems like the Interval Gold is being promoted at the moment

[tonyg Goomba & Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close tonyg]

unless that price is in addition to membership. Also Interval gold had been around a long time, it's Club Interval Gold that does points.

No to Carol. Yes to Tony. You have to pay for a basic membership and then if you want more you pay for gold or platinum in addition to the standard membership.

Ah yes, I took a closer look, the price of the Interval Gold (and Platinum) is in addition to the basic membership, Sally was right.

I can't see Club Interval Gold on my website, probably because I don't have any fixed/floating week timeshares.
