There are booking fees for making a reservation with Interval, which are outlined at section 3.8 of the PDS.
The number of Première Points required to stay at a Club Apartment depends on the season, length of the holiday, and the size of the apartment required. Using a High, Mid and Value Season structure, points are allocated based on usage patterns and expected demand at each property.
To work out how many Première Points you will need for a holiday you are planning, first refer to the Seasonal Calendar and Property Details chart in Figures C and E of the PDS, and determine:
Your preferred location and whether it is a Group A or Group B property;
Your preferred dates and whether they are in the High, Mid or Value Season for that property.
Next, refer to the Points chart in Figures D or F of the PDS and determine:
What size of apartment you require;
How long your stay will be; and
How many Première Points you will need for your stay.
For example: You want to stay at Turtle Beach Resort, Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast for 1 week during Mid Season in a two bedroom apartment. You will need 3,300 points for that week.
From time to time we may update the dates on which a High, Mid or Value Season starts or ends at a particular Club Resort. If we do this we will ensure that the change is balanced by a change elsewhere so that the number of points attributable to any one Club Resort will remain constant.
You can cancel a confirmed booking at any time up to the check-in date, but you will have to pay the cancellation fee which is specified in the regulations, and you may also forfeit some or all of your Première Points used to make the booking, depending on how early you cancel your stay. All cancellations (including changes) of Première Points reservations at Club Property are subject to these cancellation rules.
The cancellation fee is currently AU$55. Fees will also apply to any changes in bookings. In addition the Première Points which are forfeited when you cancel are as follows: Figure-I-Cancellation.
If cancellations occur as a result of circumstances beyond the reasonable control of a Member, in some cases, the Responsible Entity may waive the cancellation fee or Première Points forfeiture. This is usually only applied by the Responsible Entity where an act of god, such as fire or flood, has made a Club Property inaccessible or forced it to close.
Members of the Club receive an annual allocation of Première Points, the Club’s currency, which they can use to stay at holiday locations throughout Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia. The core package of Membership rights to which all Members are entitled is described as a ‘Première Membership’. Memberships are currently offered at Corporate, Traveller, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze levels.
Every year that a Club Membership remains current, the Member will receive an annual allocation of Première Points. The amount of Première Points which a Member receives depends upon their level of Membership. This annual allocation occurs once a year for the entire term of the Club on the first day of the month following the month in which the Member was entered in the Membership register.
If you are already a Member but would like to upgrade your Membership to a higher level you must complete the Upgrade Application Form included in the PDS and pay the Application Monies to the Responsible Entity. Cheques should be made payable to ‘A.P.V.C. Ltd Application Account’. If you do not purchase the upgrade in person, you may be required to return other information to support your application, such as acknowledgments that you have received or yourself electronically accessed disclosure documents such as the PDS.
We have the right to accept or reject any application for an upgrade of Membership without giving any reason for the rejection. However, we will notify you whether your application for upgrade has been rejected or accepted as soon as possible after we receive your application. If your application for upgrade is rejected, the Responsible Entity will return your application together with your Application Monies within seven business days.
If your application to upgrade is rejected, you will still be a Member at your original level of Membership. If your application to upgrade you Membership is accepted you receive Additional Première Points on the date your Membership is updated in the Register of Members and your Première Points balance will be adjusted to provide for the additional Première Points acquired.
