Well, I was starting to think that the original title of this thread had been hijacked by paid posters. Yes, folks some do see it as a RIP-OFF. Was really looking forward to that earnings release. I was shocked to learn that sales of timeshares were below expectations and that most of the larger than expected loss was due to write downs of properties. Who would have thunk it! An interesting event came up today for a friend of mine who converted a large inventory of units to the Destinations Program. He Booked a Cruise for almost 10,000 points and had some left over. So, he booked a 4 day stay at Desert Springs. No Problem! However, when he contacted the property to tell them he had Special Needs because his wife has MS and is confined to a wheelchair, he was told that owners who book short stays can not request preference. GREAT! Enough said!
