Dream Vacation Network works well

I bought Dream vacation network so I could better use my wyndham points. I have 642,000pts and it's just too many. DVN turns them into what they call credits and you can use them for hotels, resorts, car rentals and cruises. Stuff like that. I like using them for everything but the cruises (not a good value). I paid $9100 and I think it is fair as to what I can use it for compared to how much I've paid wyndham over the years and always had the same problems (availability!!!:wall: )

Anyways, I like it.

Robbie - how much will your yearly maintenance fees be in the future?

I wish you well, but if this is a good product, it will be a first for vacation clubs.

Robbie is most likely another shill for this outfit.

Btw plus partners is around $2400, and you get benefits such as those (converting points into airline tix, rental cars, etc.)as well as access to rci nightly stays. Btw with wyndham rci membership is included. So i dont see any value in investing $9k into a product already worth a $1. I wouldnt even pay the $2400 to be honest

[SHILL ALERT!] Dream Vacation Network [SHILL ALERT!]

Sorry if this posts twice...I've read this site for years but I've never posted, so I'm not to sure how to do this. I own timeshare in Summer Bay and (Epic, Sunterra) Diamond. I hesitated posting because of all the vicious attacks I was reading, if your post didn't agree with the rest of the people. But I attended a presentation of this Dream Vacation and I figured I'd share (I did not buy but wish I had bought this long before I bought my last timeshare).

1) It was about 60 minutes and there was a lot of stuff, so if I'll just give you the overview, I hope that helps
2) It's not timeshare and it's not a club. They refer to it as a network because it has all that plus other stuff
3) You can take all your timeshare weeks and exchange them for free. Doesn't matter where you own or whether it's RCI or II (can I mention them by name?). What I really liked was you had 5 years
4) They had this great thing where you take your weeks and get travel credits for them. Then you use them for vacations, cruises, cars, etc. You get to use ALL your credits from all your weeks.
5) They have good prices for the things you want to pay cash for. They even challenged me, while I was there, to find anything lower...I couldn't.

Sorry, that's about all I remember. I just want to say that before any of you start jumping all over me, please answer these two questions;

1) Why is it that anyone in this post that spoke good about this new program is called a shill?
2) And for the people calling others a shill...have you seen this program? Do you know anything about it?

Hope this posts

From what I heard off it's just another way to make money of people who are not happy with their timeshare. The timeshare weeks or points are transformed in other travel products for which the innocent timesharer pays more than $9000. Wow, that's a deal! You give them your timeshares and you pay them $9000 as well! Imagine being able to go to hotels and travel on trains and planes and take cruises, only for $9000! Will you give your car to a seller for nothing and pay him $9000 as well? Only to save on your petrol costs or taxes? Think again. :confused:

Dream Vacation Network is very real and is in no way a scam. DeniseM has never had adequate proof of her claims. And before she says it, I am NOT A SHELL FOR DVN. Dream Vacation Network allows users to take what they do not love about their timeshares and gives them access to every vacation tool available. DVN is very functional and has OUTSTANDING benefits for its members. DeniseM owns her own retail timeshare buy back company and has a personal vendetta against Dream Vacation Network. Customer Service Representatives are available anytime to answer any questions about DVN and to walk you through any process you may need help with. Please be sure to research Dream Vacation thoroughly before you simply cancel because of some playground ranting from DeniseM.

Thank you for your time,
~LisaM

Everyone is not a Shill for this Company. These are legitimate owners who like the program and believe in it. Dream Vacation Network is a fantastic program and it works very well!!!

I do?????? When? Where? :hysterical:

Is that the best you can come up with?

I stand behind my post - there is NO vacation club that is worth a $9,000 membership fee - period. :wave:

[SHILL ALERT!] Dream Vacation Network [SHILL ALERT!]

Hi everyone,

Unlike many, I am not going to use this forum to insult my fellow timeshare owners. I am one that can admit that I was taken to the cleaners more then once. However, prior to posting, I wanted to make sure this program worked. I purchased the Dream Network back in early June. I bought a smaller package for $6500.
They gave me access to it within 24 hours, which I really liked because normally you have to wait weeks. I immediately deposited 8 of my weeks (I still own them but it's like points for deposit without all the restrictions). That gave me over 350,000 travel credits.
I went ahead a booked several vacations, mostly using my credits ( I loved the availability...which I never saw before). But the first trip we booked and just completed was a special 5 night package (5 Star resort) in Los Cabos. We bought it for $189 (and didn't use any credits or weeks). Not per night but for both of us for the five days. It was fantastic.
I've read through all of the postings and I found 7 people that saw the dream network and love it and then I saw a hand full of people speak poorly of it but they have no specifics.
Hey, sometimes rather then leave your old car sit in the garage you have to spend some money to fix it.
I'm glad I spent some money to fix my 6 weeks of timeshare...because they work now.:cheer:

Much to NO surprise, Friendly Mark and Kristifer Kade have the same IP address. In other words they are either the same person or they both work in the same office... Yes, they are SHILLS! :D

There is a good chance that LisaM is also a shill, but I'm still working on that one. ;)

Now that Det. Denise cracked the case, I doubt these people will post again.

Can't trust ANY business venture in which people associated with it are compelled to decieve others through fraudulent posts. All the more reason to STAY AWAY from Dream Vacation Network.

Yes, we will post again. But once again we will not trash our fellow timeshare owners, nor create stories without fact.

We work in the same office. Went to a dinner presentation for Dream Vacation Network in Florida and I bought.

Why waste my breath...as Jack Nicholson said, "You can't handle the truth".:wall:

Which truth? That you sell TS from people and ask them over $9000.- as well?? And give them some credits back so they can finally go on vacation!!! Jack would never be that stupid ... :cool:

You are wasting your breath because your story is completely unbelievable....

Advice - when you are digging a deep hole - quit digging!
