ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The timeshare
exchange industry is poised for a spark of innovation with the
launch of 7Across. Today, the company celebrates its new branding,
with enhanced product offerings, and the continued evolution of its
low-cost, customer-centric exchange model, now with more benefits,
discounts and travel possibilities.
7Across offers a simple exchange platform that helps its members
worldwide maximize their timeshare ownership.
One of the many benefits of timeshare ownership is the ability
to exchange your vacation ownership for new travel experiences
outside of your home resort. As part of the Panorama family of
membership travel brands at Wyndham Destinations (NYSE:WYND), Dial
an Exchange (DAE) is now 7Across. Along with a new name and brand
identity comes enhanced global timeshare exchange options for the
next generation, focusing on simplicity, transparency, and value.
7Across offers a simple exchange platform that helps its hundreds
of thousands of members worldwide maximize the value of their
timeshare ownership without having to join a legacy exchange
company.
With more than 20 million timeshare owners globally, vacation
ownership and exchange is a significant part of how the world
enjoys vacation. Industry estimates indicate only 6-7 million
timeshare owners are currently a member of an exchange company,
providing 7Across with significant opportunities to reach
unaffiliated owners with its free membership and simple, flexible
exchange model.
Once joining 7Across at no cost, timeshare owners unlock an
array of exchange benefits, all focused on making planning a
vacation easy and hassle-free. Benefits include the chance to
exchange a traditional timeshare week for a stay at one of more
than 2,700 resorts around the globe, enjoying one of the lowest
exchange rates in the industry, and the opportunity to book last
minute resort getaways, without having to use their timeshare
ownership.
"7Across encourages timeshare owners to get their travel on. Our
free membership and flexible exchange model allows members to swap
their vacation weeks with the world, with the added benefits of
having access to book hotel stays at a great value at more than
600,000 hotels around the world," said Amy
Lipka, Managing Director of 7Across. "Timeshare owners know
that vacation ownership is one of the best ways to explore more of
the world, and 7Across boosts the advantages of timeshares with
even more possibilities."
All 7Across members get access to three simple ways to
travel:
- Exchange Weeks*: Timeshare owners can "bank" their
points or traditional timeshare week, and trade their deposit
credit for a week at one of thousands of resorts around the
world.
- Bonus Weeks*: Members get access to vacations without
giving up their week or 7Across deposit credits, and can book
short-notice, discounted vacations within a 6-month travel window.
Bonus Weeks can be shared with friends and family and there's no
limit to how many they can use.
- Rentals: Members and their families and friends can book
deeply discounted stays at timeshare and non-timeshare resorts
worldwide without using a deposit credit or paying an exchange
fee.
To provide the flexibility travelers need today to book their
vacation with confidence, members can also choose to "Fix-It" or
"Flex-It" when booking exchange and bonus weeks. When choosing to
"Flex-It," members can reschedule or cancel their accommodations
without any penalties.
All timeshare owners can join 7Across with a free membership.
The company also offers a Gold Advantage membership for a low
annual fee, which provides deeper discounts and even lower exchange
rates.
"Our new branding better reflects our mission to focus on
vacation planning with ease, connecting timeshare owners to their
next adventure, all with a straightforward approach, lower fees and
less fine print," said Lipka. "7Across represents reaching all
corners of the world with a free spirit that's joyful and alive,
like our customers from around the globe and we can't wait to help
our members see the world simply, easily and with no annual
fees."
*Exchange fee applies.
