I wanted to post about my great experience using Vacation Point Exchange. (VPE) The website was recommended to me by another tugger. We needed two other units besides our own next year at Maui Ocean Club. I was reluctant because of the unknown...would they be honest and actually fulfill my points transaction etc. I rented some from a friend and then needed more than the friend had to complete all the reservations. VPE was easier and quicker than my friend. Neither my friend or I had ever done a points transfer so there was a learning curve involved. The person I rented from at VPE was professional and the points were transferred and the reservation secured within 24 hours of payment. We now have three units reserved at MOC!!:whoopie:
I am thrilled!! We are all set to take our grown children and their families to Maui next year. This has opened our options for future trips. We have divested ourselves of all but one Marriott property. (We also still own two DVC points contracts.) Our travel habits have changed over the years and we began to feel locked-in to timeshare vacationing. We didn't want the hassle of renting our properties to others. Another big factor are the rising maintenance fees. Anyway, we can rent the points when we want to take a timeshare vacation or use II getaways during the off-season.
Once again thank you Tug members for the help!
