Success with my MROP Red Week

[Ddee555]

Hi Everyone,

I have owned a MROP/VRI red week for several years now--it was the first timeshare purchase I made ever made (bought resale)--and I have had many successes--at least in my mind--with using it. I am wondering if this is typical for MROP, or if I have been fortunate (plain lucky)...

Since owning it, I have been able to internally exchange into the following resorts:

Schooner's Landing, Newport, Oregon, Christmas week
Riviera Oaks, Ramona, CA, summer week
Winner's Circle Resort, Solana Beach, CA, February week (dad's birthday)
San Clemente Inn, San Clemente, CA, April week (mom's birthday)

And I recently traded a week at Desert Vacation Villas for a 2-bedroom September week at Lawrence Welks Villas next year (using TPI).

I know that MROP is a "no-frills" type of timeshare system, but I have been pleasantly pleased with the red week I own. I am wondering if any others have similar success stories to share about their MROP weeks, and if they are satisfied with owning a MROP week--oh, and also the direction it might be headed under VRI?

Thanks, everyone.

I, too, have either been very lucky or have a great trader with my MROP property. Mine is a rotating week and color but I plan early and have had great exchanges through RCI!:whoopie:

I have been very happy with past performance of my MROP week.

Am now waiting to see if past performance is indicative of future.

I did not like the VRI changes to a successful programme, but they may take a couple of years to play out. I'm waiting to see, my past performance in such like situations has not been good.

Thank you for replying

Thank you both for replying. It's good to know that MROP can be a good timeshare choice not just for me, but for others as well.

I, too, did not like the VRI changes (namely, the new reservation procedures), but I am still positive about the whole situation, as it is exciting to me the many choices/options that might come available, with this new internal exchange. But, of course, we will have to see if it works out to our benefit.

Take care, fellow MROP owners.
