I joined HSI
I think it has been about 5 years ago. I have used them 3 times. 2 were Club de Solei (2bedroom, 2bath) I paid $250 per week. One was the Lawrence Welk in Escondido, I think that was $700. Looking back on that purchase, $1700 for 20 or 30 trades. It was not one of my finer moments. but Ive made worst mistakes in my life. I think when I retire and can go more often and short notice, I think it will work out ok, but having said that I dont know if I will keep it up. They used to have late notice (burn weeks) $100 and $250/week exchanges but it seems those prices have gone up. They have cruises there too, I compared prices and they were comparable. They are legit, they are based in Vegas. Here is thier email address
http://www.holidaysystems.com/ Sometimes when I have called directly, I have been helped fast and other times they didnt speak English. But then I have had that same problem understanding some of RCI and II reps. When I first started calling and couldnt remember my account number I had to tell them which company I bought through. It was a hasstle.
Here is a copy of the newest burn list. It might give you an idea. Again they used to be a lot lower.
