Can I split my week through Premier Access?
Yes! You may split your week into three and four night trips. You may make split week reservations up to 90 days in advance. There is a $59 transaction fee for each split week reservation if all 7 days of your use week are exchanged at the same time. If not exchanged at the same time, the fee is $59 for the first reservation and $79 for the second. There may be an additional housekeeping fee charged by the resort. You will be provided specific fee information when you make your reservation.

Can I split my week at my home resort?
Yes, you may split your week at Desert Breezes once and enjoy a 3-day and 4-day vacation. Or you may split your week twice creating two 2-day vacations and a 3-day vacation. A $35 fee will only be charged on the 2nd and 3rd reservation. Only one weekend stay is allowed per use week.

When does my week expire?
Your week expires at the end of each calendar year.

Can a guest use my unit?
Yes a guest can use your unit. Just give Trading Places a call and let them know the name of the guest. There is no fee for your guests to use your unit.

When is check in / check out time?
Check in time at Desert Breezes is 4:00 pm. Check out time is 11:00 am.

When can I book bonus time?
Perfect for last minute vacations at Desert Breezes Resort and with one night minimum stay, Desert Breezes owners can book bonus time at the resort as long as the reservation is booked within 30 days of the arrival date, based on availability.

What are the nightly bonus time rates?
The bonus time rate for a mini unit is $50 per night, a one bedroom unit is $70 per night and a two bedroom unit is $85 per night.

How do we use our time?
There are lots of options. You can spend the time at your home resort; you can trade your time to another resort; you can trade your time for a different time at your home resort; or you can deposit it for use next year. Believe it or not, you can even use next year's week this year.

How do we go about using one of the options?
Everything begins with a reservation and confirmation. If you own Floating Time, you first need to make a reservation with Trading Places International. They'll send you a confirmation. If you own Fixed Time, you need to contact Trading Places International and receive a confirmation before using, trading, or renting your week.

What if we want to trade for another week, at or at another resort?
You need to contact Trading Places International or one of the other trade companies and deposit your reservation with them. If you are going to another Trading Places resort, you can deposit your time with them at the same time you make your reservation.

Do we have to know which resort we want to trade into at the time we deposit?
No. But, just like making your reservation, the earlier you request a specific location, the more likely you are to get it.

What if we can't get a reservation (floating week owners) at our home resort for the time of year we want to be there?
Just make a reservation for whatever time is available and then give it to TPI or another trade company and ask for an internal exchange. That's when you trade one time period at your Home Resort for a different time at that same resort.

Sometimes we can't take a vacation and other times we can take more than one week. Is there anything we can do about that?
There sure is. Through TPI or other trade company you can save this year's week and use it next year along with that year's week. Or, you can use next year's week along with this year's. Also, don't forget you can often rent additional time at the resort where you're staying. It's a great way to extend your vacation. And, sometimes you can get better flight arrangements by traveling on a different day. If you do, just rent the additional time you need.

We own Fixed Time. Do we need to make a reservation?
No, not exactly. That is, you don't need to make a reservation, but you should let Trading Places know in order to use your week or to exchange or rent it, as you'll need a confirmation.

What if we can't use our reserved week at all? Can we carry it over to next year?
No. At least, not without giving it to a trade company like Trading Places first. They can accrue it for you and allow you to use it within the next two years.

Can we use only part of our week?
You can't reserve just part of a week. You must reserve a full seven days for each week of use, but you may be able to trade a three or four day portion of your reserved time depending on the exchange company's rules. Of course, the number of days you actually stay is up to you, but you will be considered to have used all of whatever you reserved or traded.
