Has Westgate Resorts effectively de-valued your timeshare with their little "invention" of "value season"?
When we purchased our timeshare, it didn't mater what week it was (in our case, week 4) because all of Westgate was "red time". There was no such thing as "value season".
Interval and RCI still treat all weeks at Westgate as "red" or "prime" time. Only Westage now refuses to do an internal exchange for 90% of available weeks without asking an insane ($700+) upgrade fee. This forces us to use interval for every exchange - even those going BACK into WESTGATE! (Yes, that's right - if I deposit my "value season" week to Interval, it trades for ANY week at ANY Westgate property, and without the $700 "upgrade" fee).
Have you been screwed by this also? Do you know someone who has? Please respond to this thread, or contact me directly. I am assembling a list of participants for an initial class action suit against Westgate.
