We've owned MVC over 20 years and that's pretty much where I concentrate my timeshare knowledge.
I recently saw an interview with a "travel hacker" who said she owns 20-30 (depending on the day) timeshare weeks with m/f's ranging $300 - $500. She did not divulge the name of "her" resorts in the interview. I could contact her via Instagram but wanted to ask here instead if someone would speculate to some resorts she could be referring to. I'm pretty confident there's a decent list of possibilities.
This blogger got me to looking around at exchange threads here on TUG and made me wonder what a year of switching up the pattern would look like. I've wondered what it would be like to have a low m/f exchanger and not know where the next exchange would take us.
Back when we got our first resorts people speculated in African timeshares for low m/f's but good exchanges.
She (the blogger) has many posts showing her fantastic trades to high end resorts in Hawaii and Thailand. I've been around long enough to know that a flexible schedule can land a terrific exchange. It's the occupation of this blogger to "travel and tell" so flexibility is the name of her game.
On another thread about exchanges I read that a 4 bedroom VV in Williamsburg can give (2) 2bedroom exchanges for m/f of $1080. That's essentially $540 per exchange but it would have an II fee tacked to the expenses.
Occasionally I get a low season Marriott Canyon Villas week from the resort deposited in II as a fundraiser for Children's Miracle Network. They are old summer weeks but still pull exchanges I am looking for. However, I haven't put them to the high demand test.
Our pattern has been to stay in Hilton Head Island Marriott's and Marriott's Ocean Pointe. Right now we're at Marriott's Lakeshore Reserve in Orlando. I can't stand the traffic or sprawl in Orlando but it filled the weak gap between HHI and OP. The resort is beautiful and if I can stay off the roads as much as possible I will try to ignore where I am. Only once to Hawaii and a couple times to Aruba. Back in 2002 we exchanged to England. Another year to Scotland. I've considered going back to Hawaii for several weeks but I'm overwhelmed with the possible resorts and haven't taken the time to research ones that would match what we'd like.
