There have been many FF/Wyndham owners who have recently found their VIP status taken away when FF has found out that they have resales in the FF holdings. That is proof enough for me! Beyond that, I was recently on a FF Owners' Update where the sales rep told me that my two FF fixed weeks could be converted to points but that they wouldn't be included in any packaging that would entitle me to VIP benefits. If I want VIP (which I don't) I would have to buy at least a 300k point package from them (FF/Wyndham). No thanks!

Yvonne,
Let me let you in on a little of the lots of knowledge i have about wyndham. If the two fixed weeks you own are regular weeks and not resale you can convert them and as long as the point value equals 300+ you will be vip. Now with that said, if you do a straight conversion without a purchase they will charge you close to $3000.00 each week to convert. If you do a purchase minimum of 105K points they will charge you $189.00 each week. But..... you have to do a minimum purchase for each week you want to convert.

After 40+ years of T/S ownership, I am no longer "an owner"

Nushy . . . Nushy . . . Nushy . . . I think everyone "here" knows that my FF fixed weeks are via resale. I've never made it a secret and FF also has them flagged so I have nothing to lose by being open discussing my ownership here. I "almost" did the conversion thingee before the resale/conversion/VIP became such a hot button with FF corporate over the past year or two, but alas, I was blatently lied to regarding the VIP Gold status I was promised by the slug sales manager at Flagstaff. We rescinded the entire $12-$13k deal (which included a points purchase plus the two conversions AND a PIC) when we didn't get it (the VIP Gold status) in writing as promised.

I may not be the brightest FF/Wyndham owner here, but I know enough to understand what you're trying to educate me on. Thanks :)

We bought a 154K resale and are going to see what owning Fairshare Plus is like. If we enjoy our ownership, we MAY consider the same deal with PAHIO. I just could not buy something without trying it out first. I am sure they will tell us the price is increased, but we won't pay more. We are going back to Kauai soon enough, ten more months, so we will see what they have to say, if Fairshare Plus even works for us.

Cindy, I just looked at your web site and read the "about us" story. Very nicely done. :)

I hope you and your daughter Laura will succeed as it is what your family likes to do. Do what you love to do and you are not working or it doesn't feel like that. I admire people who can pull this off as you only live once. :D

What a nice reply! I'm Cindy's daughter, Laura, and I feel so blessed to be able to stay at home with my little girl and run this business! Now I can remain a "career woman" and be a mommy who gives my daughter lots of personal attention. God does provide! :whoopie:

Thank you! Websites are a lot of work, considering I run the entire business myself. But.... when you're a "control freak" like I am, you adjust to working hard all the time. :D (Not to mention I'm chasing a little toddler around most of the day!) Do it while you're young, right?
