Does this mean we can't rent out points at National Harbor?

[T-Dot-Traveller]

When's the best time to visit Banff? My wife has been wanting to visit for a long time. I want to use my 210k RCI points expiring in August 2020.

Btw, why's St. Hippolyte wide open? All the way to September 2020! But Ontario is not!! All 3 are affiliate resorts!

Banff - summer
Victoria Day long weekend ( weekend before Memorial Day) until Canadian Thanksgiving ( Columbus Day Weekend)
We have never visited but the area is a popular spot .


Carriage Hills has 3 RCI listings . D308 is Shell affiliate / also there is 4200 & 6288 .There are HOA issues going on : thread in Canada Forum .
There is skiing nearby and the 90 + days of summer are popular .
( if you click on the website link on 4200 - it links to Extra Holidays / interesting)

St Hippolyte also has 3 RCI listings . I believe it was developed by Geo Holidays .
We have not visited that property , but went to Montreal a couple of times a year from 2008 - 2011 / when one son was at McGill .
Montreal is worth visiting and we need to go back .

But with the newfound knowledge that my deeds are worthless compared to CWA.
I will only qualify for Legend with my 1.1 Million points, a number she pulled out of thin air!
If he buys 400k CWA at $97k to go to Founder, she will try hard to get them to take back my Grand Desert 420k points.
The rest of my stuff is garbage, 84k WBC can book just 2 nights! Waikiki is no good. Flagstaff FW, forget it!
Smh!

This is all very similar to what I heard in Glade except they said that I would be advantage. They said that you had to "opt-in" or you wouldn't be anything. Also, unless you purchased your 1.4 million since 2015, it wouldn't count. And then they said that everyone was going to have to spend $76k add-on to get to Founder's.

So my sales rep was complaining about a migraine BECAUSE MY ACCOUNT IS SO FRAGMENTED! lol

 

[T-Dot-Traveller]

........memories of your first post .

I think your lawyer's mind read between the lines saw more than there was!

Worth going back and checking the spread sheet to see ? - what was between the lines .
LOL

So "fragmented" was YOUR fault ?

wasn't it all sold to you by other "Wyndham sales team members"

Fragmented was my fault. I don't care about fragmented since I don't use ARP. My points are points and generally have low MF unless they have a different purpose.

I agree -
SNA27's first post was like a "Gordie Howe Hat trick"

The thread also led the TUG Wyndham Forum in activity over Thanksgiving weekend 2019
159 posts / 7 pages .

Is that like scoring a Century on Debut? They call it a Ton these days! Does a Canadian understand what I am talking about? Heard of Cricket?

I bought CWA first. Then more CWA and a Flagstag FW piggyback.
Then GD 'corporate sales guy' who is a cut above the local sales weasels says CWA is MF hell and FW is crap. He cons me to trade into GD. No bonus points either!
Then at Kona, Waikiki or bust they say, I buy Waikiki and I am glad to score 2 PICs!
At Myrtle Beach, my wife and I are held against our will for 6 hours, the rude manager thinks I am stupid for not letting my points pay off my MF! Can I even count beyond 3?
At Nat Harbor, they tell me Founders is the holy grail and Sir Lancelot like me is among the small circle of worthy who deserve it! But the Holy Grail is still in development! Top secret!
At NYC, the blowhard browbeater tells me I am a fool for not owning NY45, the Crown Jewel!

Today, they tell my son my portfolio is a steaming pile of unmapped poop because there's no CWA!

I always wondered why all these Sales guys don't get together and get their stories straight and speak in one voice!
But I realize now that they do get together and they have honed their skills to customize the pitch to con the mark!
Like the Strek Trek episode where a computer generates a customized hologram to kill the intruders!

GD is good. Why the GD hate? It’s low MF.

 

[SNA27]

Ok, Mr. Spock! Humor, have you heard of it?

We humans use this to make lemonade out of lemons! Because there is no better way to overcome the difficulties we find ourselves in!

 

[SNA27]

I will call the PG County on Monday. I hope the horse will be cooperative and open its mouth!;-)

This horse is tough to get hold of! After garbled announcements and many transfers, I found out this horse doesn't work after 3 pm! I was told to call during office hours and got hung up!
Maybe Mondays are bad! I will try again tomorrow!

Tell me about it! Chum is putting it kindly!
That's what happens when you live in a 'logic-driven bubble' of the tech world where computers don't try to deceive you and you can take everything at face value! You become a Sheldon (BBT)!
Sharks are easy to avoid! It's cute but deceptively cunning fish that usually get me!
Anyway, I regret nothing since there's no point! In real life, there's no right to rescission!

Paid full price, yes! Proud of it, that's an expression of your schadenfreude!

 

[jabberwocky]

When's the best time to visit Banff?

if you like being with crowds, summer (July and August). There are also a lot of festivals and concerts (check out the Banff Centre) and a great farmers market that sets up in summer.

Personally I prefer Sept to early October as the crowds have died down but it is still warm enough to enjoy the trails and outdoor sightseeing.

 

[chapjim]

That's nonsense. I derive no pleasure from the fact that you spent tons more money than was necessary. You seem pleased. Who am I to argue if you're happy?

 

[SNA27]

Not pleased. Distressed perhaps at my own naivete! But there is nothing I can do about it now! It's what it is!
If your comment didn't arise from schadenfreude, let me see if Germans have a precise word for describing an attitude towards naive people who allow themselves to be suckered!

Btw, if you're VIPP, you also paid a ton of money to get that, right? Maybe you got slightly better prices because you bought a long time ago! So, I am confused as to why my VIPP cost me more than necessary!

Initially, the discussion was about bottom feeders and vultures buying points cheap, instead of retail. No VIP level can be achieved bottom-feeding.

Bought mine one piece at a time (hat tip to Johnny Cash), over a number of years a number of years ago.

And, thanks for teaching me another big word to go along with refrigerator and encyclopedia.

My first urge is to name a European country that was ......

[A precise word - hmm /I will have to avoid the urge to include commentary that refers to 20th century European History / Politics . (also historical terms used by some of the British Tabloids during the World Cup when playing Germany may not be appropriate.)]

schadenfreude is a wonderful word.

 

[SNA27]

@T-Dot-Traveller, you must really curb your penchant for speaking in riddles! I will have to enlist the Quebecois to administer an attitude adjustment! Eh!

No, Jim, this topic is about my trying to deal with PG County bureaucracy!
One-piece at a time sounds great! Similar to dollar-cost-averaging, perhaps!
Omg, you think Schadenfreude is a long word? Refrigerator and encyclopedia are so mundane and not even in the same league or same planet!
Fahrvergnügen is the same length but tougher to pronounce! If you want the longest, try this for size!
