I've been a member 20 years, still need help. What resorts have $300 m/f but good exchanges? Saw a blogger and got curious

I don’t, but FXR was up in 202o/2021? And they extended.
I have not owned FWM in more than 10 years.
I wanted to end Foxrun and made an attempt to get people on board, but Becky Varn was so against it, she was a TUG member and also on the board of Foxrun. BigMatt here on TUG was against it as well. It was an uphill battle, and I lost my wind.

I still own a week 52. My niece is considering it but I don't want her to take on something that could be a loser at some point. I don't want her to blame me. I was able to get her a 2 bedroom at OKW for mid-June, and she was thinking about it, but the more I think about giving it to her, the more apprehension I feel. Trading power comes and goes.

I have a lockoff at a particular resort listed for sale on RW that trades very well for me, and when I had an inquiry about it, she asked if she can get two equal exchanges with each side of the lockoff (at a particular resort). I said I have done it in the past but cannot guarantee anything in the future. Sent her proof of my exchanges, never heard from her again. No guarantees, and I am not going to guarantee anything to anyone. Exchange power is fleeting.

Flexibility is key. I like units that can be split and work with both II and RCI. As changes come, it’s easier to pivot.
