I love Maui. But, I live on the East Coast, so the Caribbean is more practical, and I own in Grand Cayman. So a couple of years ago we decided to trade for New Zealand. DAE was the only exchange service with inventory, so I left RCI behind, & off I went. It was a great trip.
Now I have 4 credit weeks with them, & I have been planning a Girls' trip with my bestie for 2 years. I had 3 preferred locations on Maui, but wanted to be notified of anything, and put in my request 2 years out. Unbeknownst to me, the staffer put in that we ONLY wanted those locations. Now we find out that the only time DAE gets those specific locations is on a rental basis, which I was not informed of. So they have had me waiting for a 2 week slot that literally would never happen for 1.5 YEARS! When I called in, & I did, several times, I was always told, we're just waiting for the inventory to come in. THEY LIED TO ME!
Our plane tickets are booked, the car is reserved. Our trip was supposed to be Jan 12-26, 2019. If we cancel, we lose our airfare. If we go, seeking other accommodations, we will be paying a ton of money on top of what I have already paid, for whatever we can get, with no kitchen, which will drive our food costs through the roof, and leave us no $ for fun.
It is far too late to get a timeshare now without paying triple what I already paid in maintenance fees, and that's only for 1 week! I am really unhappy with DAE, but the weeks I traded in have been used, there is no way to get them back. So, I'm screwed.
Anybody have any ideas? Or a TS rental they'd like to lease for not much more than the MF for a tugger who got screwed?
