I own a few fixed weeks at two different VRI managed resorts. Generally, I simply use what I own, renting out a week on rare occasion only when I can't use it. Historically, I don't "exchange" (...and I would never give the likes of RCI any of my primo weeks under any circumstances).
That said, I am curious about VRI's "internal" VRI*ety program, which allows owners at VRI managed resorts to deposit and exchange into other VRI resorts. With the acquisition of AVR, the "universe" of VRI exchange options will supposedly be about 150 different resorts by the end of CY2008.
Has any VRI-managed resort owner here on TUG personally utilized the VRI*ety program who might be willing to share their first hand experience and informed view, observations and opinion on it?
Do you feel that you got a "like for like" exchange, quality wise?
Time frame of deposit vs. time frame of exchange?
Any input at all based on first hand knowledge and experience would be welcomed and appreciated; hearsay and speculation, not so much....
