Prompted by Mr. Bum's post, which the TUG administrator referred to, that administrator has asked me to, "post the text of the e-mail you received. It should be easy to do so without identifying the sender of the message, even if you have to delete a name or two."

Please note that I, personally, did not demean anyone, but if anyone feels demeaned, I apologize for that. I can't apologize for the person who sent me this, though. I felt posting in general terms was more appropriate than posting someone else's specific accusations, since specific personal criticism is forbidden.

I also apologize to the person who sent me the following email, if he did not want me to post it. I have been given no other choice.

If you wish to discuss the nuts and bolts information provided in this email, I can't help you.

I'm off to Lowe's to price materials to repair our storm damage. If you don't see me again, maybe the bridge collapsed and I fell in the lake.

just got off the phone to orange lake ...two calls...

one to member services to ask who my "member service rep" ....as posted.

(incriminating previous post deleted)

according to member services, there are no reps assigned, but the call is
basicially the oLE sales deparptment calling .....to update people...

i asked the member services department to look into the postings on TUG
since "mis information" is being posted there ......i cited...1 river island
grandfathering 2. river island purchase putting the owner into the elite
tier program and 3. each owner having a "personal" member service rep

the lady i was speaking to said those were incorrect and would be looking
into the matter and perhaps pushing it along to her supervisor to
investigate also. I relayed how it seemed that (deleted) was implying that (gender deleted) was knowledgeable spokesperson for all things OL.

she said, anything official about programs would be posted on Orange Lake
Website thus (deleted) was not really a "mouth piece" for OL

the other call was to my "crystal ball" at orange lake ( ironically i made
contact with them, due to the postings that [deleted] was doing on TUG in
the beginning )

we got around to mentioning all the posts on TUG about Go Global by
(deleted).....he said it was ironic since they had just finished "clueing" the
board of directors of the HOA of Phase I and Phase II "in" on the program,
Phase III and Phase IV are at a future date....so a lot of what (deleted) was
syaing must have been leaked "unofficially" to (gender deleted)


on another side note, the person who called us on saturday about global
access, when i mentioned the posting by (deleted) about the resale weeks owner being dinged 5000$ to bring those weeks into Global Access, he said the cost is actually gonna be 8000$ and the initiation fee will be increasing to
1995$ soon ( guess for september 1 )

Guess (deleted) really wants to light into the sales person who told (deleted) all this information when (gender deleted) addresses the issue when (ditto) gets back there
.....sure hope (ditto) did not get the reps name.....

i have a phone conversation with my "crystal ball" set up for
tomorrow...hopefully he can answer my questions, most of which revolve
around the RCI connection within this program. From what i can understand,
you really do not have an RCI account with Global Access...OL acts as a
layer between you and RCI....much like the HGVC system, thus if you already
have a points account, you would never see any points added to that
"account" if you converted your Global Access week points to RCI points....

Since we already have a weeks account and now have some points since we
bought into Crown Point in Arkansas, we can still reserve our week at orange
lake 13 - 12 months out and still be able to deposit it into our weeks
account, not sure what a person who owns only at OL and who converts to the
Global Access program will be able to do, that issue seems murky...

I think it's time to give this subject a rest. Thread closed.
