Welcome to 2012 All!!
So I managed to successfully get past my first and second timeshare purchases... Picked up a nice Grand Deserts and also a Smoky Mountains package on Wyndham -- Chose these due to maintenance fees, location and of course the Wyndham flexibility in terms of options overall...
The downside -- 1.2M points, already have them booked for the year and still looking for some additional travel dates...
While I continue to watch eBay and the likes for a steal on another low MF, high point package -- I have started broadening my horizon a little and started wondering about augmenting my portfolio with a different system...
I am avoiding Hilton and Marriott for the time being, as they are a little higher due to the ROFR these use... So I started looking at a few of the other systems, GeoHoliday, Monarch, Bluegreen, etc...
When looking at properties, quality of property generally comes first with location select coming in second -- and everything else after that...
Any experienced TS buyers out there care to recommend a second system worth spending my time researching? I can grab anyone and start reading and learning - I would like a suggestion or two to cut the list down to a manageable level of research time/learning... No rush, just want to start the learning process over with something different to hopefully enhance... Oh, strong international trade would be a plus too -- Like heading international a couple times a year and something that has a strong international network would be a plus (not just Mexico or Caribbean, but overseas would be nice)...
Any thoughts anyone might want to share?
