hey guys. Looking for y’all’s opinions on picking up national harbor, Canterbury, or Bali hai. What are y’all’s overall opinions of these three resorts as far as Resale and mf

I entered into a pending resale agreement today and wanted everyone’s opinion before I signed the papers and made it official. It is for 609000 points at club Wyndham Lake Tahoe south shores. I am paying $250 dollars plus closing costs. Good deal or a mistake? Opinions on lake Tahoe south...
Hello everyone…I am looking to buy my first club Wyndham resale contract. For those that believe points are points which resort would you choose for the lowest and most consistent maintenance fees?
We currently have 300,000 points that we purchased from Club Wyndham. What would be the benefits of purchasing more points through the resale market? Can we combine them with the 300,000 points we currently have? Thanks in advance.
I have a timeshare membership with Club Wyndham. I want to post a week and rent it out. I reserved a 4 day stretch at my home resort, Bonnet Creek in Orlando, but that's still a 4 hour drive for me. This is a problem because they are asking me to "verify" the location. I have to be on site...
I stopped paying my loan with Club Wyndham last due to some financial hardship and I just received a letter from Pinnacle recovery inc saying to pay a “non use settlement” for $21k to be done with it. (Loan is ~$70k)
Is that just to avoid foreclosure? What if I don’t pay that by the due date...
Hoping someone can shed some light on this. About 6 months ago I started the transfer of one of my Wyndham contracts. A few weeks ago I received a letter from Wyndham saying the transfer completed. When I tried to log in I got an error saying something wrong with my account so after a month...
Hello! I have some questions about "floating weeks," non-converted.
I understand that contracts are issued in Points these days, but:
Are all contracts issued in points, or are floating week contracts still issued?
If floating week contracts are only older contracts, which resorts have them...
So many people feel cheated or "Scammed" regarding timeshares. There are definitely a lot of people who are disappointed and upset about the timeshare experience. What I wanted to provide was a few ways to attend a sales presentation and end up not feeling scammed.
Timeshares can be an...
Should you buy New (Often called Developer) or Used (know as Resale) Timeshare Points? The are plusses and minuses to each and in this video I will provide a simplified overview of the two choices. I will share my personal experiences with both.
I like the perks of the developer points (New)...
What is it like to live in a timeshare full time? What are the life changes you need to adjust to? What are the downsides from someone who has done it? What are the costs and how does that compare to buying or renting?
In this video, I will address all of the above questions. I[ve been...
The goal for any vacation is to use the least amount of points and the least amount of Dollars (maintence fees or cash). By using RCI within 45 days of arrival and leveraging last minute specials, I was able to book a week stay with minimal points and costing less that traditional booking...
If you want to be close to Chinatown or Union Square in San Francisco, then the Worldmark San Francisco is a great choice. I stayed in the studio hotel which was cozy, but had everything I needed (since I carry a electric Skillet). There was a gym and a shared laundry facility, which was nice...
I wanted to provide Club Wyndham / Worldmark a list of what they should do more of to improve their program. I consider myself an experienced traveler and knowledgable of their program. But I also have some ideas on how the program could be better.
In this video, I go through the major...
I want everyone who buys a timeshare to enjoy their purchase. So, I came up with a set of realities of owning a timeshare. If these realities are not something you are not willing to do, then perhaps timeshares are not for you. Better to find out now before you buy than waiting until you buy...
This video is about providing clarity about what the reality is about some of the timeshare salespersons claims about timeshares. Many first time purchasers feel misled by many of the claims that a timeshare salesperson makes. So I decided to do a video to provide my experience of what the...
This video is about getting the most out of your timeshares. Many people buy timeshares and just use them to vacation like they did before. But I like to learn all the details about the programs and see how I can maximize the benefits. In my case, this has allowed me to live full time in...
This video is about Using your timeshares to relax on a regular basis. Vacations are wonderful, but they tend to occur a couple weeks a year. Why not schedule regular getaways? It is similar to having a second home or a summer cottage. And doing shorter regular getaways can create a more...
This video is about stretching your points as far as you can. Why not stay in a studio instead of a one bedroom. Typically a studio would allow you to stay 2-3 days longer for the same about of points as a one bedroom. And who wouldn't want 2-3 days more on vacation?
In this video I go...
This video is about persistence and sticking to the effort to learn how to use your timeshare. Being on a vacation is a vacation. Learning how to use your timeshare is work. And to get the most value out of your timeshare, it requires putting in the work. In my opinion, the gain from...
I wanted to share the reasons that I would consider doing an upgrade. It is important to understand why you are doing an upgrade. I tried to break down the reasons I have upgraded into categories. The first category being ownership in enough weeks to enjoy your annual holidays periods...
If you want to be close to Chinatown or Union Square in San Francisco, then the The Donatello in San Francisco is a great choice. I stayed in the studio which was cozy, but had everything I needed (since bought ready meals at Trader Joe's about 1/4 mile away). There was a gym and a club lounge...
I've been happily using my timeshares for the last three years living full time in my timeshares. Before I moved agressively into using timeshares, I also looked at getting an RV (either a Bus or Truck Camper). When I looked at the costs for the RV, it seemed like the timeshares prices were...
One of the amazing opportunities you have as a timeshare owner is that you can donate your timeshare vacations to non profits or charity. Just in case you have points expiring or you just want to donate to a charity.
In this video, I'll discuss the process of how I have donated to non profits...
So a friend and i were offered the usual club wyndham ownership with yearly points which we both agreed didnt make sense to us because of the monthly fees. As they kept giving us "better offers" which were just lower points lower cost offers which we rejected, they offered us Discovery+ with the...
If you have decided that timeshares are for you or if you already own timeshares, then this video is for you. I have found that by consolidating my ownership into one system, you can leverage all of the features more easily than by having a few points in each system. In my case I have two main...
This video is for all the people who bought a timeshare and then realized they don't know how to use it. They are often angry at the timehare companies and themselves for caving in to the pressure from the timeshare salesperson. They might have considered dumping the timeshare.
If any of...
