Re: Timeshare Points vs. Weeks (by Robert M.):

If you are on the Board of a resort contemplating going to points or are already in points but have a number of units in default on fees will you please consider the following. For three months let all existing weeks holders convert to points for a flat fee (suggest $250 - $500). Half of the proceeds would go to the management association and half would go to the processing broker. Having existing holders paying $2K - $5K to convert is crazy. You are supplying the "sales leads" and you are the ones that will be facing declining maintence revenue streams as an increasing number of units become less attractive. I own in two resorts that have become points members and I am already a points member through other holdings and I am sure I am not alone. Lets get those existing owners that want to get into Points have the opportunity to do so at reasonable rates. After 3 months you can turn it over to sales teams of varying degrees of knowledge. There is a recession on & you should be trying to give current owners (who voted you in) the most alternatives at the best price. Let's all get in the real world. Many peope feel the flexibility of the points program is a major plus. Let's get them in the program at a reasonable price. Thank you
