Good morning, everyone. I have been a timeshare owner since 2004 and recently widowed. My portfolio is busting at the seams and I would like to utilize my ownership as rentals to help pay maintenance fees. I own weeks, points and everything in between lol with Marriott, Starwood and Westgate...
Looking for clarification on buying Marriott points resale vs direct. I’ve looked through past postings but want to make sure I’m understanding correctly and have up to date info. Is the only disadvantage of buying resale the fee you have to pay Marriott (I think it was $3 per point) and you...

Would like to buy Marriott resales, really would, but every year, Marriott gets more greedy and devalues their own product while simultaneously artificially raising prices. From ~$10 a point a few years ago (at developer cost) to an artificially inflated ~$15 a point today (with absolutely NO...

We are located in PA so we prefer beaches closer (NJ, SC, etc) with FL as an option in case we decide to go further, however we’d like to expand our options west as our kiddos get older (4...

I received an email from Marriott about them being hacked and losing my data. I was also contacted by Boughton Law, who has started a class action in British Columbia, Canada. Has any else had this problem or been contacted about the class action?
If anyone is concerned about this, Boughton...

I wondered if someone wise could help me.
We own a HGVC in Hawaii and trade the ample points for our US holidays. HGVZ and RCI are very limited for European holidays... so is there a brand that is better?
Secondly, should I buy points, buy some weeks or buy a property to trade into Marriott...

I have 1400 annual points at Marriot's Myrtle Beach Oceanwatch Grande Dunes. I enrolled my week a couple years ago and have only used them once and really only a couple times did I use my week when I first got it in 2008. How do I advertise my timeshare for sale, as a week or as points?
Hello, I am researching if timeshares or vacation clubs are worth joining. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to answer a few questions for me. I am new to this forum so I am not sure if you can direct message me on here or not. If not you can email me at atripwithaview at gmail. I...
I am currently an owner of the Westin Nanea in Maui. I am getting close to purchasing my second timeshare and wondered what this board would have to say about where.
I am considering picking up a 2BR at WKORV in Maui, as we do so love the island. However, I have been peeking at Aruba...

I’m on the...
