Don't get bamboozled by the Celebrity / Legacy spin machine...
We finally agreed to listen to the phone/online presentation on why it was in our "best and only" interest to switch to Legacy's point system with RCI vs. our fixed week with II. The pressure point they kept making was without RCI we would no longer be able to exchange our fixed week with II...rather we would be forced to accept and use our home fixed week unit.
Personally, I'd rather give the place away but since that's not going to happen...just wondering what or if anyone else has any further information or insight on this deal.
It seems like they have you over a barrel if there is any truth to what they insist is happening with the new Legacy ownership.
If you own a deeded fixed week 6, please don't lose sight of the fact that there is
absolutely nothing Legacy can do to/with/about that deeded fixed week ownership. Period, amen. You
cannot be unilaterally "converted" to points (...neither any cockamamie "internal points" system within Legacy nor over to RCI Points) without your overt participation and consent (...and, of course, also likely ponying up some considerable cash to help Celebrity / Legacy in their post-bankruptcy iteration efforts).
If it's true that you can no longer trade your week with II, it's most likely for an entirely
different reason than the lame story spouted forth by the Legacy weasel. Perhaps II actually
dropped Legacy from II affiliation entirely (or, less likely, vice versa). If that is the case, and the facility remains affiliated with RCI, then your deeded fixed week will
still have a specific, discoverable TPU value within RCI's relatively new "Points Lite" system, regardless of any razzamatazz to the contrary babbled by the Legacy weasel.
If you (understandably) don't want to even bother any longer with the whole "Jared Meyers / Celebrity / Legacy show" (...a decision which I made in disgust earlier this year myself), you likely could give away a fixed week 6 in Florida with relative ease. I gave away a similar Celebrity / Legacy week earlier this year, simply by offering to pay the $200 Legacy "transfer fee" myself (I prepared and recorded the new deed on my own, so the only other cost was the County recording fee). Truly "free" to the recipient and, from my perspective, an overdue and welcome "adios"
to Jared and Company...
