Click on "Advice" in the red bar at the top of the page. There you will find the common TS (timeshare) abbreviations, but be aware that many popular resorts are also often abbreviated, and you won't find them there.

Don't worry it takes about a month or more to talk/learn/comprend this here timeshare language. Just keep reading ... it will sink in. :D

Okay, maybe a bit longer ... :eek:

Probably hasn't been added. TPU is a relatively new concept from RCI. Trading Power Units. A way of assigning a 'value' for exchanging purposes. It's just for the 'Weeks' side as RCI Points has their own value. Some call TPU, 'Points Lite.'

At my last place of employment, I started a TLA worksheet that soon became standard issue to all new employees! (TLA=three letter acronym).

I love TLA's. Long story short I was once asked to explain what BAD meant on a red tag. I paused in confusion for a second and then told them, "Why, Broken And Defective, of course". They loved it!

TLA's Redux...

The software industry loves TLA's. :)

As does the U.S. Governnment (e.g., FDA, FBI, ATF, HHS, DEA, BOP, BIA, ICE, etc. --- ad nauseum).

I recently had to write up a transfer review because I was changing teams @ work and realized how many different acronyms were in it when I tried to read it to a friend and he had this blank look on his face as if I just spoke to him Japanese. :)
