Exchanges Can Be Cheaper than Booking Direct... Timeshare Traveler Episode 236

[@thejokerspeaks]

No wonder you're killing it with 15-20 weeks, utilize those in places like Hawaii, this is where the big savings is.

I have saved a lot of money using exchanges instead of paying maintenance fees. I also need to purchase less points which has saved me thousands (even at resale prices).

​@@timesharetraveler I bet there's someone out there with 5,000 WM points, going nuts on Monday Madness and last-minute deals with II and RCI.

I started with 7000 Worldmark Points and I was one of them then and I am one of them now doing Monday Madness and Inventory Specials and RCI. four weeks in January in 2025 will be GPX in a one bedroom for $485/week in Napa, Ca.. The last week of December to early January will be Scottsdale 2 bedroom for $485/week. And likely the whole month of February will be GPX in Napa if they become available.

I don't understand. I am a MVC owner but have never used II. Do you mean as a MVC owner I can go to the II website and reserve and pay with dollars?

[@timesharetraveler]

Yes. That is exactly what I did. It doesn’t always give you the option. But it is also possible to rent a week for less than you maintenance fees (I found this amazing). Imagine being to rent a week for less and not have to buy more points. In general these are off peak time or especially in high available areas like Orlando
