Did we make the right choice?
So my husband and I went to a timeshare presentation for Wyndham resorts this weekend with no intention on buying anything. Of course the idea of locking in our travel rates for the rest of our life seemed appealing. Right now we do not have any kids and travel at least twice a year. Long story short for the grand total of around $18,000 we ended up with 105,000 points, and they are giving us enough points for 2 years to make us VIPs. We are also able to have as many RCI trips as we want for the rest of our lives (able to get a deal that wasn’t a part of “phase 2”). Sounds great and all but after signing we realized that 105,000 points are not able to buy hardly anything. We thought that maybe the RCI deal would make up for it but then we are still buying the RCI deal based on the bedroom size AND having to pay the maintenance fee every month (55x12=660 per year).
My question to the pros on here, did we make the right decision despite a low point number? Will the unlimited RCI trips every year make up for it? Should we go cancel? I keep seeing information on the site about buying points on ebay and not buying during presentaitons. Any guidance is appreciated.
-Signed really bad buyers remorse!
