Greetings all.
I was wondering how many people have used DAE recently. It certainly looks enticing with no annual fee and $99 exchange. I will put out what I see as their strengths and weaknesses along with my specific questions. Please comment pro or con.
Strengths
1. cost
2. cost
3. Can be used as an alternative to RCI with an RCI affiliated resort
4. Can trade into many resorts not offered by RCI
weaknesses
1. Not much availability for trade or bonus vacations
2. Small
Questions
I own an RCI affiliated resort that I plan to use 3 out of 4 years but would like to have an option to trade without annual fee outlays. By the time I pay for membership and exchange with RCI it gets prohibitively expensive. Last call or bonus vacations have great appeal to me. Would it be worth it to join RCI jsut for the last call feature that I will take advantage of 1 or 2 times a year? Or should i just join the freebie and hope something comes up in their bonus vacations. I realize that both inventories are for off season lower value weeks.
Thanks for any input
