Just throwing in my 2 cents to this conversation,
You do not have to convert. We have sat through a few pressure events and they claim
You will never get a week
A points person can pick the Wed in the week you want and it closes off the entire week
or
You will be the last person standing in Weeks-land in RCI, everyone is converting
OR
There will be no more deeded Time Share sales (we were told this 5 years ago)
Went to the same resort this year and they tried to sell us a deeded week....
They will tell you whatever they want in order to get you to buy.
If you think about it,
Of all the 1,000's of timeshare users out there, how many are like you? They can't afford to switch. I see those big price tags and choke. I'm sure i'm not the only one......
We have recently bought points in Florida, resale, and I am going to learn that process now.
Anyway, as others have said, you do not ever have to switch. Keep your week and live like many of us do!!
