It was pretty interesting, and reasonably fair (though I don't think Wyndham is a scam, and TBH IME has more availability than HGVC). I always feel like there's some subtleties they miss though, or get so close to mentioning that are important. For instance, while they talk about how hotel prices do swing wildly, they don't consider that hotel prices are also going up over time. They also kind of miss that there are multiroom timeshares. There's a big pricing difference if you are comparing a 2BR timeshare to 2 hotel rooms.
They also only focused on the fixed week fixed location in talking about who timeshares are for, probably because that's what the "investigator" experienced via his parents. But the whole point of points systems is there are more than one week at one location, and I'm constantly going to new locations, though there are some I'd like to go back to.
I know it's getting down in the weeds, but missing the exchange companies really paints a way more limited set of locations. It also misses the last call or extra vacations deals too.
Finally I think some of the other financial analysis is very odd - they spend the whole time talking about loans and big purchase prices just to end with "buy resale". They even explain how much a difference the up front cost plus financing makes to the analysis - yet don't offer a resale option. $2,000 with no loan vs $24,000 which becomes $45,000 with interest ends up making the "salesmen math" more "real". Then they talk about how "high" the $1,000 median? average? MF is, but calmly talk about paying $500 a night in a Holiday Inn. It would have been nice for him to discuss what that Holiday Inn was vs what his parent's TS was.
I guess like so much in life, how you draw the bounding for costs makes a huge difference. My recent trips in hotels easily ran over $1,000 for 5 nights for a single room. What also increased the cost a lot though was needing to buy *every meal* and needing to increase airline fees to carry enough clothes for the full time I was away, or needing to spend a day in a laundrymat in a strange city. Most timeshares take this out of equation if you want.
This makes many of the timeshare MFs very much seem like a deal.
