I believe you are right BigRob. No ARP if you credit pool. And I also believe that you can only pool VIP points with the Margaritaville points at 10 months.

However I am not sure I understand all the interest in this. Are there more than one Margaritaville's in the system? I only see the St. Thomas one and nothing about that appeals to me. The rooms are small (studios only) and St. Thomas is probably one of the least desirable ports in the Caribbean. Of course this is JMHO, but I feel they could have done much better.

I understand the Parrothead/Margaritaville mentality having been a fan since the mid 70's. Should have put the first one in Cane Garden Bay.....

There are units at rio mar larger than studios

My interest has to do with how long does it take a contract to go from the sales room at $200/1000 points to eBay at $10/1000 points

It's like watching a train wreck. I can't not watch

I remember having the same interest after CWA was introduced

Now in looking at New York but I'm not even sure there are or will be New York deeds

I saw a New York one on a reseller 2,331,000 pts. for I believe $120k. Don't know if I can find it again as it was an obscure one.

Currently, you can book Margaritaville Rio Mar with regular resale points. There is limited availability and this can end at any time per the website. We are going to try to book for last Sunday in August 2017.

tdl3903,

I'm just curious how the transfer is going?

I just purchased the other Margaritaville Listing on Ebay, and I'm curious to see if it is really going to take 2-6 months for the transfer to complete. (I already have another Wyndham Timeshare/member number - so maybe it will go faster?).

Please let me know when you get everything completed!

There is some availability at the Margaritaville hotel at The Island in Pigeon Forge.

We visited the area last month. I personally wouldn't want to vacation on the top of mall, but YMMV.
