Affiliations:
The club has a strategic alliance with Hilton Grand Vacations Company, giving members access to eight additional resorts in Las Vegas, Florida and Hawaii.
Miscellaneous:
CI accepts reservations for 6 nights or more up to 11 months in advance. Reservations of less than 6 nights can be made up to 4 months in advance. Reservations made with Resort Points can be transferred to family and friends.
Consecutive Reservations: If a reservation lasting 6 nights is made for one resort, a second reservation at another resort for dates directly preceding or following the first reservation may be made up to 11 months in advance, with a minimum 2-night stay.
Weekend Reservations: There is a 2-night minimum on all weekends. One weekend reservation may be held at a time for each 80 Resort Points owned.
CI Points are freely transferable, but subject to Intrawest’s right of first refusal, and certain minimum amounts.
In 2007, the club changed the rules regarding transfer of membership in Extraordinary Escapes. Members who buy points from other members are only eligible to join the Extraordinary Escapes program if they paid at least $150 per point, and also pay an additional $12-per-point fee to the developer.
CI members are not required to belong to Extraordinary Escapes. CI reservations can also be traded through Interval International, and some members find that they are able to obtain better trades through the exchange. To trade through II, CI members must also belong to Interval International’s program. In addition, only 7 night reservations (Sunday – Sunday) made at CI’s Whistler, Palm Desert or Tremblant locations can be traded.
If you became a CI member after 2001, Club Intrawest will not allow exchanges through II, only memberships dating from 2001 or earlier are permitted to register with II. Even if II has taken your payment for membership, Club Intrawest will not recognize it. It can take up to 8 weeks for reimbursement from II if this occurs.
