Re: Fairfield Problem (by J C.):

Sound like you bought a FF week - that was the first error. Fairfield (now Wyndham) has been moving away from the week based timeshare model for over a decade. If that isn't the case and you bought - or converted to - points then I hope you purchased resale. FF has seemingly made it a corporate goal to devalue resales of FF points while at the same time raising the cost of retail points. That means the minute your right to rescind a retail purchase ends (usually 5-10 days) you have lost at least 70% of the value - maye more. So the only logical thing to do is to only buy FF (Wyndham) points on resale where they are a bargain. The FF system itself (points - not weeks) is a great one. We have had no problems in over 12 years of using it getting the resorts, times and unit sizes we wanted at the ever growing number of great resorts Wyndham has to offer. We've also had good luck using small amounts of point deposited into RCI to get good trades through them. It sounds like you have a FF week which does not trade well either through the FF FAX (weeks) system OR RCI. If you have FF Points then you need to study how to use tham as they offer a great way to vacation in our experience. Good luck.
