My wife and I have been using a vacation ownership with GPX (Grand Pacific Exchange), which we were given as a gift by our parents for 12 years. It has been wonderful for us! No issues at all. We have been able to visit many places, including Hawaii several times. We also bought a timeshare back east somewhere...about 6 yrs ago...for $300 total online. It's Wyndham points for 126,000 - every other year...probably not a good deal. Although, we have visited Flagstaff many times as we love it there, and can get out of the heat from the Phoenix area. It has worked very well for us so far. However, we recently tried to book Flagstaff again, and it was "Unavailable". I think we did not have enough points.
We were told at a Wyndham presentation several years ago that we will need to "buy-in" with a substantial amount of money sometime in the future, in order to actually be "owners" where we could bring in the GPX (PIC = 154,000 points), and the other timeshare from back east.
So, we just went to a presentation a few days ago in San Diego and we were offered 64,000 points for approx. $13,000 (total cost), with $1200 maintenance fees, and bonus of 64,000 points for next year (2019). They said that we could now use the back east timeshare (126,000 points) every other year, GPX (154,000 points), and the new 64,000 points every year...because we have now "Bought into" Wyndham. There would be a fee of $89 in order to use the PIC (if we wanted to do so).
Is this worth it? Is this the lowest amount I have to purchase?
Do I have to "buy in" with a large amount of money in order to do what they are saying?
Is there a way to buy resale and do the same thing?
NOTE: We have until this Friday 12/21 to rescind. Would love some honest feedback in order to understand all of this. Please help. Thank you in advance.
