Hi Do Marriott vacation club resales qualify for conversion to Marriott hotel points. I am interested in buying a timeshare that allows for such conversion Thanks

Hi I want to know if it's possible to transfer vistana points to marriott hotel points. For example if I have 10,000 vistana points how many points do I get if I transfer to Marriott or Bonvoy Thanks Raza

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 There, I just bought a timeshare along with my wife this last Saturday, but after finding this site, we are thinking about rescinding. We bought 100k points for 20k at the resort at Scottsdale resort and bought this while visiting the Cape Canaveral Resort in Florida. After reading some...

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 own a week in Florida (Commodore Beach Club). Week 19, standard RCI Weeks member. On a recent trip to Las Vegas, I went through a presentation at Grandview that convinced me to convert to points, as I am now retired and travel frequently. I was told my week in FL would earn 43,000 points...

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...

I regretfully own a HGVC timeshare at the HGVC Anderson Ocean Club in Myrtle Beach. I have [redacted] bonus points I need to book by September [redacted.] I don't plan on using these myself. 1) I want to get rid of this (especially before the next fee year in 2020) 2) It would be great to...

Hello, My husband and I bought at Point and Poipu in 2004 (15,500 points) and paid sky high Maintenance Fees for the water intrusion project for several years. We live in CA and there is very limited availability on the west coast. We always end up at the same locations available, Palm...

We have been loyal members since 2014 and have made great memories using our BlueGreen Vacations. We’re military members that got assigned overseas and have a new baby so this program no longer fits our needs. The BlueGreen Vacations group offers a wide selection of resorts to choose from...

I’ve been pretty actively searching for the best fit in a timeshare purchase for my family and I think I’ve found one that will fit our needs, but I need a little support from you experts. The timeshare has the number of points within the Wyndham club plus network and a maintenance fee I’m...

I read on Facebook that someone received an email last year from MVC to attend a webinar. After he did that, he was allowed to enroll his post-2010 legacy week in the DC Points program for free. He still has the option to use his week or convert for points every year. Has anyone heard of this...

I don't use the Points program, but I have an enrolled week which would allow me to rent points. (Unfortunately that week only generates 550 points and is deposited with II until 2020.) I have a two week 2019 MOC reservation string that is Sat-Sat, then Sun-Sun, which leaves Saturday, 23 Feb...

Happy to share that for Christmas I got the gift of exiting all of my Wyndham timeshares! Starting January 1 no more maintenance fees for us!!! If you’re looking to get out of a Platinum size membership that is paid off pm me and I’ll try to connect you with the North Pole (aka someone...

Hi All! I noticed a few threads on Silver Lakes (SL), but nothing addressing the Travel Club. I was sold a timeshare three days ago that seems to be what I'm looking for but I fear i may have overpaid and need to rescind (seven days left). So it was 47,120 points that cost $15k with $600...

?For those more familiar than I, is there a "point calculator" on the Vistana web-site? Hyatt has one and it is really useful for planning on how to use your points, even if a week has not opened up yet or is otherwise unavailable. It appears on Vistana web-site it will only tell you how many...

Is there a different process for a purchasing club ownership with a right to use certificate. vs buying a timeshare deed? Does the seller need to use an escrow and title company for a club ownership transaction? I am specifically looking at purchasing a Welk club ownership through a seller on...

i just won a bid on eBay for 540k Welk points - the seller is Larry Hansen with HP Consultants. The ebay ad stated seller would pay all closing costs. Larry sent me an invoice for 1/2 the sales price and a blank contract to sign and return. I asked him to fill in all the blanks first (missing...

Have had a timeshare for 6 years now and so far have only used it one time. After reading all of the information on here, I'm kicking myself in the butt for buying it. My husband and I have decided we need to try to use it and have booked two trips. I have 27,400 points that need to be used by...
