- rescinded Marriot Points in Aug,2019
I have been to a Marriot Presentation at South Beach where I ultimately got a bundle package for 7,750 points for approx 53,000(like 7 dollars a point). Purchased it but rescinded it and joined Tug immediately.
Just unsure of the whole timeshare thing.I really liked Marriot's program but the maintainance fees seemed high.
They were very professional and I actually was in the presentation for over 4 hours.
I learned a lot and was really prepared.
I went to a Wyndham presentation last month...at Bonnet Creek( purchased on Ebay 4 days for 350 dollars..Thought I was an owner. Did the parking pass trick.but I went to learn about Wyndham. Was offered like 300,000 points plus an additional 400,000 incentive points for 35,000....Hated the whole presentation, very high pressure, was there for like 3 hours trying to get questions answered but Wyndham seemed very evasive...
I have been looking on ebay and have now researched Worldmark...Not enough info for me to make a decision and in no hurry.. Seems like the mf are lower for higher purchases...
I have thought about buying Wyndham resale and Worldmark resale to get access to RCI and II.
We are both retired Age 61, do not need prime seasons, can pick up and go as we live in Florida.
Any and all suggestions from all the experienced timeshare owners out there.
Bottom line is I think this timeshare can really work and can really save money...I have been to Bonnet Creek by Wyndham and the Marriott in South Beach and Sheraton Vistana in Orlando..
All were paid cash...and were reasonable costs. I feel very lucky that I rescinded the Marriott purchase and now have a do over with the best information in front of me..
Thanks in advance for the advice!
