yeah the card is for any innseasons resorts anytime day use. but some places like surfside institute a call ahead program because at high peak usage times, things may already be tough to manage the crowds. I am sure if you showed up unannounced, they'd let you in. I owned 75,000 points every other year and also bought a week at Pollard Brook on resale. Just this weekend I converted it all over to points to take advantage of the flexibility of the points system and to also own at least a "weeks worth" of points so that I can book a year in advance. If you don't own that much, your booking window for partial weeks is 4 months prior. Resale's of weeks don't transfer gold card memberships that I know of. So it may have cost me a bit to convert, but the week I had to trade up to points was worth 150K points. This other week I purchased thorugh sellmytimeshare.com and as was the plan all along, parlayed it into all points. Granted I could have kept the week along with my 75K points, but it is considered 2 separate memberships, maintenances, etc... Just my .02 cents...
