There has been an ongoing offer from DRI for I.I. exchangers during a slow period for Williamsburg. I don't think I've seen the European resorts offered before. I'm sure it's just a way for DRI to get people to the resort to take a shot at them for a tour. My bet is the occupancy at these areas are relatively low during these times.

Who gets the Getaway payment? I'm not sure what your asking. If you're asking about the exchcange fee for a Getaway certificate, I assume that goes to Interval. DRI is just looking to fill rooms with bodies so they can keep suspects in front of their sales staff.

Well, the offer is there AND the availability is only there for paid Getaways and not for exchanges. You seem to assume a lot, while I was asking the question, I don't expect that anyone here has the ability to answer with authority whether II kicks back anything to DRI or not.

Never mind. I don't think it would make a difference anyway.

Well, I think (kind of like your assumptions) that there must be some money changing hands, otherwise the long list of Getaway Availability for a place like Royal Regency Paris would also show up as Exchange Availability if DRI received nothing but the incoming 'mark.'
