    Interval assignment question

    I find Interval International's website and system to be so confusing. I've been a Vistana owner for coming up on 20 years and I still gnash my teeth any time I have to use Interval. That being said... last year I didn't have a good use for my Westin Flex ownership, and I decided to deposit it...

    Which timeshare flex is right for me [Sheraton Flex]

    Hi new member here, so I recently rescinded but I’m still interested, one of the sales agent said with the 9k package I think it was 30k points he said I could get any hotel under their brand 5 days 4 nights even if it’s Hawaii during peak season, it sounds too good to be true and a load of crap...

    HELP needed re: “Upgrading” into Sheraton Flex (from Vistana Cascades Orlando)

    HELP needed! Ok, I got roped into going to my “owner update“ last week while using my timeshare at Vistana Cascades in Orlando, and despite insisting that I would NOT buy anything, I got convinced to sign a new contract to “upgrade” into the Sheraton Flex program. I am still within my 10-day...

    New-future Westin/Sheraton Resorts

    Westin/Sheraton has converted three resorts from hotels to TS resorts. I assume this is to inflate their Flex program offerings. The newest being renovated in puerto Vallarta Mexico. While I know it’s a long shot, does anyone have any intel on future Westin or Sheraton resorts either being...

    Is Flex resale worth it?

    I am a current owner of 241,000 flex options. I use them to book at the same place every year, the Sheraton Steamboat Villas. I would love the opportunity to get into that massive three-bedroom mountainside Villa in the Morningside tower but that would require a purchase of an additional 16,700...

    Assist with valuing Bluegreen Points with UDI

    We have been Bluegreen owners at Christmas Mountain for over 10 years and are considering selling our ownership, but I am not sure how to value our ownership. I can't find comparisons. We have 5,000 points annually as well as a flex/UDI which allows us to have 1 red and 2 either white or blue...

    Need advice about offer

    So, I'm new to timeshare. I've never owned one, but I do know about some timeshare systems. I got persuaded into a timeshare presentation at Sheraton Vistana Resort. (On the plus side, everyone was very polite and patient. I didn't feel super rushed to decide...even though the offer was for...

    Flex advice needed

    We just went through a marathon sales presentation and managed to avoid buying a "flex" package, barely. I'm looking for some reassurance that we made a good decision. There are some features of the flex program that are attractive to me and that don't seem to be covered in the flex FAQ here...
