ARP is good to have for that week but FYI I just booked a 2br for Thanksgiving a few days ago! BC is a very large resort therefore lots of cancellations...
 
I personally couldn't care less if I buy bonnet creek or got a good deal on another Wyndham contract located elsewhere. But my husband insists on Bonney creek, he doesn't want to take any chances that the Wyndham program will change its rules or, heaven forbid, bonnet creek gets sold or unaffiliated with Wyndham someday. Have no idea if that could happen. Can't argue with him, I already tried! :)
 
Since Bonnet Creek is a relatively new resort, I would be surprised if you found a giveaway unit. Never hurts to try, of course.

We own at Bonnet Creek. Not sure if we are ready to give away our 189k points, though. Hmmm. Will think about that prospect!
 
Bonnet Creek pricing has increased...just check ebay ending auctions. Some of them are going from 1 penny to 2 pennies per point plus closing fees.

I remember you could pick up Bonnet Creek for a song (a couple of years ago) but since then it is one of the Wyndham properties that has been increasing in price.

I actually found another tug member who was advertising in the marketplace for 168k EOY bonnet creek, no 2012 points, I am paying transfer and closing costs (only $135), and remainder of 2012 maint fees. However, if I can convince my hubby, we may be in the market for another contract. I have seen the recent sales on eBay, pretty high compared to other Wyndham resales. I did see (just yesterday) someone listing in marketplace for bonnet creek at $500, but I know my husband won't want to pay that plus closing/ transfer, atleast not right now.

Don't forget the $299 transfer fees for Wyndham. You technically will be paying the maintanence fees remainder of 2012 and for 2013 since there is no points (for 2012) until 2014 plus closing cost and transfer fee.

I hope you have other Wynham points due to the program fee of $98 per year.

We are paying the transfer fee of $299 and the closing which is $135. It is an EOY odd so points become available again in jan2013. We are also paying the remainder of 2012 mf, but since it was "free" and since my husband insisted on bonnet creek, I felt it was a good deal. We already have a star island contract.
