Resort converting to points (by Mike N.):

Otherwise, she should still has her unit for one week and can do with it as she desires, use it, rent it, or exchange it through II, Redweek, etc. She just won't have the "benefits" of the Vacation Club whatever they may be. Seems like the sales staff is only interested in selling these packages without expaining all the details. It will be interesting to see what Ken discovers.An update:On review of the InnSeasons website, it appears to me that what Inn Seasons is actually doing is adopting a "vacation club" or "right to use" membership program. In essence, owners will apparently have "right to use" privileges at ANY the various InnSeasons facilities --- as opposed to having deeded ownership of a specific week at any one specific resort. This involves a "deeded trust" program for participants. I still have questions about charging people like Tracy thousands of dollars to retain their (already exisitng) access rights. It would seeem, on its face at least, that a prime week already owned by deed (*IF*, in fact, that is indeed what Tracy has now) would have an inherent (and VERY high) "point value" already. You don't get much more "valuable" than a summer, beachfront week in coastal New England. So how/why do they want another $5,900? I don't know, but will attempt to find out. It seems outright larcenous to me, although it might well be legal.
