Okay,
I have been lurking here for a long time and I think I am getting the hang of this. I haven't bought anything yet but would like to run my strategy by the experts.
I am looking to get into the timeshare game for some flexibility in my vacation choices. I am married with a 6 year old. I live in Virginia and there are some years I can't get an entire week in a row off, although I can get long weekends, etc. Additionally, I normally can't plan a vacation too far in advance.
Here is what I am thinking. I have been looking into RCI Points-specifically a triennial unit at Vacation Village at Parkway-approx 24,000 pts per year with a MF every 3 years. I would probably never actually visit that resort, but try and use the points for the 9,000 point last minute vacations and the ability to go one night, two nights, three nights, etc.
I have seen Vacation Village relatively cheap on ebay-I know, an entirely different can of worms altogether. Is 24,000 per year enough points to be worth my while (I know I they don't expire for 2 years).
What are peoples thoughts on this strategy? If this makes sense, what is the most I should be paying for Vacation Village triennial?
Thanks in advance for opinions. This board is the best!
