Better buying ur own property in a vacation place abnb when ur not there amd using it when ever u want
Everything you said came true
We will be there first week of Dec. so excited
Hey, so I have a question. So since I’m already at owner and I buy somebody else’s deed to get more points how does that work?
David Siegel ran his company with the same precision and authority that General Patton commanded his armored division. His leadership was firm, decisive, and always with a clear strategic vision. As for Jimmy Gissy, when he took the reins at Westgate, he didn't just step into a role-he embodied it. He wasn’t there to simply execute David’s directives; he was a leader in his own right, steering the company with the same brilliance and intensity. Jimmy is one of the most successful leaders I have ever encountered, a true prodigy in his field, much like David himself."
We use our for trade only. They need Davied and son out of😢there, there a joke.
Are WDW Resorts available through II? I can never seem to find one.
They are available in exchange. Not available getaways. The resorts are limited. Most common is Old Key West and Saratoga Springs Resort.
Our home resort!❤
It is a great resort. Thanks for watching.
thank you for video! what is high season in Aruba?
sorry meant when
High season tends to be major US holidays and February and March.
These videos are gold! Thank you so much! I’m thinking about get Sheraton flex. How many points do you think will be most beneficial for a family of five that would like to take a week vacation for about a week in August? I was considering getting 20700 or 44000. I’m leaning toward 20700 since it be less maintenance fees and we can use interval international getaways. Thanks 😊
Did you attend a DVC sales presentation for a Disney gift card while you were staying there?
We did not. We’ve never done a presentation with DVC.
@@DestinationTimeshare I'm really interested to see if they've adopted high-pressure tactics now that they've started offering incentives like gift cards.
Great video. Thank you !
Thanks for watching!
We were going to stay there over July 4th this year, but ended up switching to Saratoga Springs because we've stayed there before and liked it. Still haven't stayed at OKW yet - probably will some day soon - but not in a rush.
Just sat through an owners update down at Westin Desert Villas in Palm Springs. The sales rep told us that MVC was going to sunset the Abound access for Vistana owners and we (Vistana owners) would need to trade in our flex options and buy, at a minimum, 4000 MVC points. I essentially said “fine”, we’re content with all the Vistana properties. The sales pitch wrapped up and we left with our Bonvoy points for sitting through it. My understanding was that Abound wasn’t a temporary program and this was a “scare” tactic to get us to drop a lot of money. Anyone else hearing this pitch?
It was certainly a scare tactic. Salespeople seem to think this tactic works. Abound isn’t going anywhere. Don’t trade anything in. Don’t “upgrade” anything they will sell you is going to be more expensive with less utility. Good move to not purchase.
@@DestinationTimeshare thanks you and thanks for all the content.
I stayed at Westgate Lakes Resort and Spa in Orlando July 2024. I had a 3 bed 3 bath lockout. I got it on Interval as a getaway and loved the resort. I had a great time, the unit was huge, loved the pool and waterpark. I did decline the timeshare presentation but I don't have anything bad to say about the resort. I stayed at Westgate Town Center years ago and loved my stay there as well.
Thanks for sharing!
I love and prefer old key west, even though boardwalk is our home resort.
Great video! Out of curiosity, can you still use interval if you buy a timeshare on the resale market? Thanks!
Yes. You just have to pay the annual membership fees and exchange fees apply.
@@DestinationTimeshareokay wonderful! Thank you for confirming and your guidance 🎉
Agree 100%
Yes, the resort wants you to use points most to buy cruises, dinners, etc. The resort buys these in a balk like package from the vendor and sells it to you at a premium price, but it's presented in points. They make money from the arbitrage obviously. The maintenance fees are still to be paid to the HOA, so now you're paying maintenance fees on points that aren't used for lodging.
Yeah. Points for these are a bad deal. I have a video where I analyzed the value of using MVC points for them; The BEST & WORST Ways to Use Marriott Vacation Club Points czcams.com/video/raMzMULCCeI/video.html
Hi Jeremy. I noticed that you went up some stairs to get to the boardwalk and then down to get to the beach. Is there a wheelchair accessible path to the beach? We made reservations for our first stay there, but now I'm worried we won't even be able to get to the water. Thank you.
Unfortunately there isn’t an accessible path to the beach.
@@DestinationTimeshare That's unfortunate. I tried to see if I could cancel and use our points elsewhere, but it doesn't seem to be anything available anywhere else that week. As it is, I am losing 3,000 points that I thought I had banked for this year, but Vistana/Marriott says I didn't actually bank. We'll try to make the best of it then.
Recently attended a mvc and asked “what if I want to go to the Ritz Carlton in Vail. He brought up the screen and showed how easy it would be. He did mention it would depend on when. I said the winter of course. He simply laughed and changed the subject.
Timeshare laws need to be completely rewritten. As they stand , they are ridiculous scam …
*Visit the Video Sponsor - DVC Shop* | dvcshop.com/destination-timeshare-okw
Question: So if you buy in the after market or resale market are you better off? Also, if you inherit units and points, you’re basically just saddled with the maintenance fees?
Resale is certainly cheaper to purchase than buying direct from Marriott Vacation Club. Anyone who owns points has to pay the annual maintenance fees for those points. It doesn't matter how you acquire the points. Thanks for watching!
@@DestinationTimeshare Nice job!
We’ve had issues in Florida with rooms smelling moldy and mildewy…. Did your room have that musty smell at all? (My wife is very mold sensitive)
I didn't notice that issue in our room. Though it can be an issue in places with humid weather year round where AC has a hard time keeping up and they don't have good dehumidifiers. Sometimes it can vary from one room to the next.
My husband and I recently purchased HGVC through a presentation we went back in March. At first we had a little buyers remorse yet more we study, more we love it!! Discovering your channel and Timeshare Traveler channel were a big game changer for us! We would like to thank you both. It turned out we had a great deal, much better than buying from resale market. We got a lot of Hilton honor points and HGVC Bonus points. We are looking forward to travel around the world and with in the US! As a matter of fact, we have two upcoming travel plans using HGVC for this holiday season.
Good to hear that you are happy with what you own and it is working out for you. The best timeshares one ones that you use and the resorts are all top notch. Happy travels and thanks for watching!
yes, parking lot is hideous!!!
Perhaps the worst of any Marriott Vacation Club resort. Thanks for watching!
From what I seen, doing a timeshare is more expensive than just doing a vaction on your own.
If you do it right, this is certainly not the case. First important thing to do is buy resale. Maintenance fees are often much cheaper than the rental rates for equivalent accommodations. Just don't buy direct from the developer.
I think Old Key West is the only DVC property with a true in-unit laundry room. A great amenity!
I suspect you're right. All the other DVC resorts we've been to only have the stacked washer and dryer. Thanks for watching!
Very nice like all Disney products (Timeshare and hotels), in and around Disney World. But the biggest issue...... Disney is not shy in their attempts to pry money out of you. Even on the re-sale market, the product is pricey with the "Magic returning every year" with the high maintenance fees. While I like all Disney products, the pricing is a major put off to me as there is quality competition available re-sale at much lower pricing such as Marriott or Hilton.
*Visit the Video Sponsor - DVC Shop* | dvcshop.com/destination-timeshare-okw
With all due respect, it was a good video - but it would have been a little better if you mentioned theories or reasons why, you think the market is depressed. Has anything changed recently, in the past year? I know the cost to "activate" the points into the system is outrageous.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll take it into consideration for a future video. Thanks for watching!
I would NEVER PURCHASE SCAM SHARE !!
Well, that helps keep the resale prices low for me...
I have been an owner since 1987. I love it. I inherited additional points from my father. Boy was it awkward getting the deed transfered and getting Wyndham on board! They assumed I bought the points in the re sale market. They have a difficulty recognizing purchases in the re sale market. I finally got it sorted out at a presentation meeting. It was very annoying!
I have had hgv for a few years now and realizing its not worth what i paid. Obviously past recission window. My question is could i upgrade to a larger package, then wait a week or so and just rescind that contract to get out?
Unfortunately that won't work. Rescission just returns you to where you were before you signed the latest contract. So you would still own the timeshare that you own today. Is the timeshare paid in full? Any outstanding loans? Hilton Grand Vacations Club resorts usually have some resale value or at least can be given away for free.
@DestinationTimeshare ok thank you for your reply. Yes, I still owe about 30k. I had no idea about resale before and they told me my maintenance would be 1100 but with everything included it's closer to 1800 a year.
How do you get a timeshare resale from Hilton?
There are many sources for resale timeshares; Redweek, Ebay, TUG Marketplace or a broker. You can check out sellingtimeshares.net, Hilton Timeshare Resale Specialists.
People are hating on timeshares, which is weird because if you use it, it eventually pays for itself and then you start saving a lot of money, again “if you use it “if you don’t then it’s a waste of money, pretty simple don’t just listen to people that don’t use it
Yes, the worst timeshare is one that is never used. The best one is one that is always used.
What are the best options for transportation to Universal Studios and Disney Parks?
Rental car or Uber/Lyft are going to be the best options.
I am going here tomorrow! So excited!!
Awesome, have a great trip!
I just went on Saturday I was given $125 on the card my $40 back in cash, free uber (which in needed at the time to go to a concert right after the timeshare was finished) and the 2 night 3 day stay
Sounds like a pretty good deal, as long as you said no to buying one of their timeshares.
One guy said he sold his by bartering.
Yes, I saw that video. It was the Laptop Seniors CZcams channel.
I once stayed at a timeshare because a friend had one in Arkansas and couldn't make it before a deadline. The only dates available were in the winter. The property was a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. Everything was unimpressive. I would never go again.
Interesting that you base your entire experience on a single stay booked seemingly at the last minute at a non branded resort in Arkansas. Kinda like saying you won't ever buy an iPhone because you didn't like the Alcatel cell phone you had used before. Or that you wouldn't go to a Marriott because the Econolodge was dirty.
Do many on the TUG forums own Westgate?
There aren't many Westgate regulars over on TUG. Not sure why. There are a couple of Facebook groups out there for Westgate owners.
We were approached at Westin Laguna Mar in Cancun because we own two weeks in St Kitts. One of the scams is called Sapphire Travel Access. We were told it had a $1000 value. NO ! It gives you a sort of credit up to $1000 in theory for use only at Marriott Hotels, and supposedly 10 to 50 % discount. Every time I tried to use this, they didn't reply or gave me a rate which turned out to be higher than for example a seniors' rate. I never was able to use it. The Sapphire is only valid for one year from date of issue. We did get some Bonvoy points but not a big number. We were told the presentation would take 45 minutes but it was over 2 hours with 2 different people pushing us. They seemed very surprised when at the end we simply refused to buy anything. We gave reasons well in advance to inform them we had a new house, pets, and health issues but they just ignored it. I could write a book about all the lies I've been told by MVC since I bought in St Kitts in 2006. The maintenance fees have soared to the maximum every year. Do NOT buy MVC timeshares unless you want mine LOL.
Thanks for the info. I've never heard if Sapphire Travel Access except for a timeshare company called Sapphire Resorts which isn't related to Marriott. Usually these kind of side perks are useless. Timeshare is best as used for timeshare stays. Thanks for watching!
I am back at Sheraton Vistana Resort through II getaways. When I booked on II, it says 1BR full kitchen. When i arrived to my room, they placed me in Cascades in the smaller 1 bedroom unit. The manager then argued with me that II placed me in the smaller bedroom based on the code and its not something they can see at the resort. I am very disgruntled because i thought I was going to the traditional 1 bedroom this room is the size of a studio. How can i tell on II the difference between the smaller and premium 1 bedroom? I would have never paid for this room had i know what i was getting. Is it possible that the resort has made a mistake? Though both the manager and the front desk staff talked to me as if I was crazy. The woman rudely asked me what makes me think i booked a premium one bedroom? Help 😢
Hello. When you look at your History page in the II website, what does it say the Unit No. is? When you booked it, did it have the Blue K and not the LK associated with the listing? Does the room you are in right now have a patio?
Thank you for the quick reply. On my history page it says Unit: HOBST (1 Bedroom) I am positive it said K, I am mindful to never do LK. It does have a patio. But they told me at check in I am confirmed to the smaller one bedroom not the premium one bedroom. I can't tell on interval site anywhere I can tell the difference between the two.
Thanks. Ignore the H in the code you have. According to the Marriott.com website for Vistana Resort, there are three types of smaller one bedroom villas. Two with a patio and one without. The two with a patio are OBST and OBOV. The smaller one bedroom without the patio is OBRS. The large/premium one bedroom with the full kitchen seems to be OBVI. It seems the resort did provide you with the confirmed code. I wonder if II has this listed incorrectly when making a reservation? Unfortunatly once you confirm you really can't see what the system indicated in the way of the kitchen. Does your confirmation email show anywhere that it included an oven? Only the large/premium one bedroom includes and oven. You may want to contact II about this and have them confirm. If their reservation indicates it should have been a full kitchen premium large one bedroom and they have something wrong in their system for OBST. You could try and ask for some form of compensation. Calling the regular phone reps probably won't help. I suggest contacting their Social Media liaison. Here is a link with information on how to contact them. You don't need to be a TUG member to contact them; tugbbs.com/forums/threads/interval-international-provides-direct-email-for-tug-member-support.198023/
@@DestinationTimeshare This makes sense and thank you for providing the email address. This is complicated because the smaller one bedroom villa I am in does in fact have a oven, dishwasher ,and balcony. It actually has everything that a premium one bedroom villa has. The most significant difference is in square footage: 470 sq ft and the premium one bedroom villa (855 sq ft) is the square foot. And possibly a whirlpool in the premium unit. My confirmation does not list a whirlpool. Perhaps the difference is whirlpool and not oven? In May my code was HOBVI and I had a one bedroom premium with whirlpool. This time my code was HOBST and I was placed in the smaller one bedroom villa. This room is more like an extended stay room and extremely insulting.
@@DestinationTimeshare Quick update: I sent the email this morning and by 10:30AM the issue was resolved immediately. This is all because of you: THANK YOU!!!! If I can provide any review/recommendation/support to your channel, please let me know.
Thanks for the great video! I was looking for the floats you showed but can't find them. Could you share a link?
I shared this link in a previous comment. Thanks for watching; www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B1ZJVVJP
After I stopped laughing, I noted some errors on the criminals part..... If they bought re-sale, the amount would have been so much lower and possibly nobody would notice. As usual, people cannot control their greed and that is what does them in. Also, what was their plan to pay the very high annual maintenance fee's ($18,000)?
This always seems to be how they always get caught. They think they got away with it the first time so they go back again and go bigger. If they just stopped after the first time they probably wouldn't have been caught. But as you say, greed gets the best of them. I suspect they were planning to use the fire department credit card for those annual fees. Thanks for checking out the video.
I was just about to say before I watched the whole thing, my wife and I had to sign that form the last time we went because were a little too knowledgeable about what they were up to.
I'm not really sure why I even agreed to sign it. I should have told them they can put me on whatever list they want but I won't sign anything.
