Owner update next week at wgsmr&l

[raygo123]

One question I have for them,is it better, in an external exchange through the portal, is it better, more likely to get what you want, or do an on going search? As one tugger mentioned, if there is an ongoing search, that inventory may never show up. Also, how long will ovation last. Anything else?

Here is the problem:

Sales people are unlikely to know anything about exchanging.

Sales people lie.

Trying to get accurate info. at a sales presentation is a waste of precious vacation time.

The first things you learn as a sales person is, no call, no sale, and, don't edit the news. With that said, if we all don't ask, its business as usual. One answer would be a win.

How will you know if the answer is correct?

They will say whatever they think helps them make a sale.

First, where is wgsmr&l ?

Secondly, there is no way a salesman is going to give any accurate answer as to how long Ovation will be around.

 

[raygo123]

Yes that had been mentioned as far as ovation. I can't buy anything, so no problem. I remain positive. Wyndham great smokey mountain resort and Lodge, I don't understand your jargon either

WHY do you think the sales staff KNOW anything about "Exchanging" outside of the Wyndham system OR about a corporate program that they are NOT IN THE LOOP ON and has nothing to do with conning YOU into buying MORE points from them to EARN a commission check?

DeniseM is absolutely right ... it is a TOTAL waste of your PRECIOUS VACATION TIME.

I have a 90 year old aunt ... how many vacations does she have in HER future? Sure, she is 90 ... we all know there can't be many. But I ask her, every time I leave town ... "You want to come with me? I am going to XYZ".

But as for you or YOUR FAMILY ... 3 Octobers ago (3 years) my 53 yo BIL dropped dead on the bathroom floor. Not from a disease like cancer, not from a heart condition, not from a chronic illness .... but a blood vessel bursting inside his brain. I am sure if he had it to do over again .... he rather have spent the last week of his life doing "family things", enjoying a family vacation, calling his elderly Dad, hugging his 3 children .... than in a Wyndham timeshare sales presentation or cleaning his garage.

He was lucky and blessed in many ways ... he went to Kauai in April with his wife and most of her siblings... had an oceanfront unit ... tour all the island ... had a great time BBQ our meals and living life in one of the pretty places on earth. In August, he took his 2 younger children and his wife on an Alaskan cruise for 7 nights with many of his wife's siblings & spouses (one set celebrating 25 years of marriage). Those kids will always remember that cruise and the various activiites.

Two DREAM TRIPS of a lifetime within 4 months time ... and then he died 2.5 months later? His vacation time expired ... and thankful, he and my sister did NOT waste one previous moment listening to a "presentation" for $50-100. He and his wife ... had once in a lifetime trips ... with photos (including a set of his family group professional photo setting on the Alaskan cruise).

How would your story be written?

Ovation will last until CWA sales slow down. They don't know when that will happen any more than you do.

Granted, I don't. So witch search is better, check inventory or on going search?

I consider my life as one long journey. I have 2 successful children, 4 grandchildren, one born this month. I have lived through heart surgery, kidney transplant, and back Surgery.
And am happy with my life. I have missed nothing. So, if I want to go to an owners update, I will. If I want to ask stupid questions so be it. Maybe, just maybe, I will get an answer.

Ongoing search in raising is always the best for non wyndham. You can also check inventory and cancel ogs if you find something you like.

You should do BOTH.

It's "which."

witch =

raygo123 - One of the reasons that you get a lot of negative feedback on TUG is because your posts are sloppy. Even if you know exactly what you are talking about, poor writing makes you look like you don't. You will be received better, if you take your time with your posts, and edit your errors.

Did you notice that previously someone said that they thought English was your 2nd language? If that's the case, please let us know, and people will cut you some slack.

Just sayn'

Lol, I like the picture. Yes, I'm trying.


The timeshare industry is changing, I am trying to make the most of what I have committed. It took me 20 years to buy retail. All the answers I can get are helpful.
There are nuances I haven't even thought about. Hence the reason for the post. If someone has a question I will ask it, no matter what it is. I've asked enough stupid questions myself.

So how do you add it?

[DeniseM]

The glossary contains the standard abbreviations and acronyms that are commonly used on TUG, but making one up that no one uses, probably isn't useful.

 

[raygo123]

Well they got there somehow IMHO

Yes - they were compiled from abbreviations and acronyms that are commonly used on TUG.

 

[Ty1on]

I personally think "witch" should be added!

Now that's ridiculous ( ntr?)! I knew I should have spelled the resort name out.

Just having fun with the witch graphic - seemed appropriate for the day.

 

[raygo123]

No, I really got a chuckle out of it. I know I spelled it the right way, it this auto correct, or my fat fingers. It couldn't have happened at a more appropriate time. Almost as though I spelled wrong on purpose. No I'm not that smart. As far as the RCI trading, if Wyndham, since they own RCI, just maybe, there is a special arrangement whereby inventory is held back from the general RCI subscriber

No, it's not like Interval International and their preference periods with Starwood and Marriott. An ongoing search is almost always going to be your best bet to snag a specific resort that you want.
