Yikes, as far as I'm concerned the ONLY reason to buy a timeshare is to be able to travel around to other places! If I wanted to stay in one place I'd buy a house, hire a management company, rent it out till I wanted to use it! And probably be money ahead, too. At least it would appreciate.

I think that the vacation club concept is becoming more popular due to limited exchanges. I really like the concept but if I had to do it all over again, I'd interview timeshare companies before I decided which one to purchase. A vacation club that has many nice resorts all over that you can exchange internally first (or earlier in the year) would be best. SVC meets most of that, but they dont have as many resorts as some companies. I'm still happy though.

After reading all this stuff I've decided to book with II as I need a timeshare in Scottsdale on a specific date. I just don't think I''d get it thru RCI. Next year when I dont have specific dates and destinations I'll try RCI and see how I do.

============ Can you use your SVC points to book into a Scottsdale unit? Also, if you have an RCI Points membership from your SVC, in mid April '(of 2008), you can check for availabilities in Scottsdale for Feb '09.
