points

Hello all, New here, but I will get to the point. I purchased points via a spot in Mexico for 9k around 4 years ago. I posted to sell it 2 years ago on couple sites, but nothing came of it. Fast forward to last week. Got a call from all services travel saying they want to make me an offer and...

Thank you TUG family for talking me into rescinding. Sent the letter this morning. Just a couple of questions on the right timeshare on eBay/classified's. 1) As I am not sure how far RCI points go since we are not RCI members yet - due to our work schedule, we're looking to do 3 two-evening...

Hello TUG Family, 2 Questions: 1) I just purchased a 2-bedroom Triennial Deeded Week 5 (Floating) at Vacation Village at Parkway (VVP) for $9500 (1 yr payoff plan - no interest) upfront. Maintenance is $969 (every three years). The VVP sales manager told me I would receive an RCI Certificate...

My husband and I were just in Fort Lauderdale at BeachPlace Towers for vacation and went to the sales pitch for the vacation points. It wasn't our first sales presentation and we have been contemplating it for some time now. We ended up signing a contract for 1000 points. They gave us 1000...

I recently (April 2019) sat through a presentation at a MVC with some family who already owns a few weeks and some points through. I am interested but as an outsider to timeshares and a skeptic I had a lot of questions, particularly about purchase of points off the secondary market. The...

Help requested: If any of you are knowledgeable in purchasing secondary market Wyndham points would you please be able to help me out? I just received a contract for what I believe is 400000 points, however, the contract keeps using the phrase "condominium interval interest." Also in the...

I am seriously thinking about buying a HGVC resale TS. Can you gift points to others or buy just points from someone else. For instance, if I am 1500 points short from where I want to go, is there a market to buy points from someone, so you don't have to upgrade and pay more MF?

[I edited your post to comply with the forum rules:] "Can anyone provide info about how an owner can rent their HICV points?"

Let's say I have a small annual contract and then purchase a large biennial contract for even years. When I have the larger amount of points in the even years can I save some of those extra points to use in the odd year that follows? Thanks in advance for all y'all's amazing advice!

When my parents switched from a fixed week contract they bought an additional week and the annual assessment summary listed a Bonus Contract worth 195,000 points with a number in the same format as the other (now 2) contracts each worth 105,000. What is/was this Bonus Contract because it...

Hi there - new person here. I walked away from 2200 points in Orlando for $9000 at a presentation, knowing it wasn't on par with what I see here or on resale sites..I'm now scouting the web for deals. Is it possible to buy a small/cheap package (3500 points for equivalent or less in $$), and...

We recently bought DRI's newest promotion, which is 7,500 points for $16,700 for 10 years. They gave us a Dream Vacation, and the deal doesn't start until 2020. They will bill us about $1,000 for maintenance fees for the next 10 years. We are new to timeshares, and this would give us a chance...

Hi - I'm new to Wyndham Timeshares. I am thinking of buying a resale contract for St. Thomas Margaritaville. Would I be able to also exchange into the Rio Mar PR Margaritaville? Also, does anyone have the point list for the St. Thomas and Rio Mar resorts? Thanks for the help!

Hi new TUG family, Thank you all for your expertise and information that you’ve already shared through the rest of the post here in the forums. I’ve learned a lot over the last few weeks by reading the different info here. I’ve been on ~10 timeshare pitches, and have seen several different...

I am new to the timeshare game and I have spent the past 9 months acquiring Wyndham points contracts through the TUG Marketplace and eBay. As a result I now have 262000 points for 2018 that I will not be able to use before the end of the year. Are there better options than just depositing the...

New TUG member here. Wife and I finally decided to let go of our Diamond Resorts International timeshares (points) in Lake Tahoe and Orlando for free, since we have no use for them anymore. My question is - what are the steps to "sell" them to a prospective buyer, assuming we already have one...

HELP! Our RCI membership expires today. We're brand new to this (the timeshare was given to us) and need to know if it is worth the $124.00 for 1 year membership. We also have 88 points that expire today unless we extend them through RCI. Is it worth the 134.00 to extend them for 1 year?

I may be able to transfer a Wyndham Vacation timeshare interest from a close family friend who is an elderly widow and does not have much knowledge to offer. Her property is a deeded week at Patriot's Place, Williamsburg, VA - 2BR unit for Week 01. If I were to take over this property, can it...

I am considering buying a unit on the secondary market, and I'm wondering if anyone can tell my how renting points works. As best I can tell, at the lower level, you can rent 50% of your annual points, and you would pay a $4 fee for each 1,000 points rented. Does anyone know how much the...
