, well I do but we were sucked in 
not once but twice!! 
which reminds me, I will be upgrading to member status as a way of saying thank you to all who have helped us along the way, in all seriousness, many thanks everyone. 
Be careful. Once you learn about what you can do with timeshares to change your vacations you might start collecting them too! I came here to learn about hgvc. I ended with Marriott. DVC and world mark.

) and I've manage to resist the urge to buy Marriott (especially when three bedrooms villas pop up occasionally on the sightings forum under Interval International's priority preference for Marriott owners )
That sounds like the guy I saw when we did an owner update at the Grand Waikikian in December with the DW. Said he used to work for Marriott before they changed to the new points system and bad mouthed it quite a bit. Badmouthed HGVC affiliates including the Bay Club also. Stated the usual BS about affiliates losing HGVC benefits etc. With me owning 3 resale TS's, he knew he wasn't going to make a sale and was in a bad mood: glad I made his day.
That's not what Denise said. What she said was "your best bet it to hang out with us, and learn how to get the most enjoyment out of what you own", not hang on and suck up the pain. Follow the threads, current & past, and learn to make the best of what you have or learn how to improve it.
I used some of my RCI Points to get a 2-Bdrm TS at the Jockey Club, next to the Bellagio, over New Years, which is only costing me about $400 in MF's for the whole week: there's people paying that or more for 1 nite at hotels on the strip. I learned which TS's to purchase and how to use them from reading and following TUG. So don't hang-on & suck up the pain, start having fun.

Yes Grand Waikikian is the place. We met him there in May
That's him. I must stop thinking about it, blood is reaching 212 again
I think things will be better once I get it paid off and don't think about it.
Were going to Parc Solei next week for 5 days. Thinking about that
Check your contract ASAP. If your within the rescission period, follow the instructions immediately and to the letter. Buy resale.
If you just bought this week then RESCIND and RESEARCH.
Yes, the only thing you don't get is HGVC ELITE status but you have to buy at least 14,000 HGVC points to obtain the lowest status level.
In general no, but it really depends on where you want to go and your travel flexibility. Keep in mind that ongoing annual maintenance fees will vary by location. Don't rush into another purchase. Hang out here and spend some time learning about the system and other timeshare options as well.
.....that way you will be able to go back at a huge value. The hgvc people are good at scaring you so steer clear. Good luck.
