  Thanks for watching. Overall on Paradise Island and even downtown Nassau you will be fine. It is mostly tourists from cruise ships in Nassau during the day. The biggest issue will be people trying to get you to buy something from them. There are certainly places on New Providence Island that you won't want to go to, but most tourists won't be in those parts. I had no issues walking around outside the resort while at Harborside.

  I went back and watched this and I'm not sure where I said I dislike declining prices. Certainly the devaluation of the product overall isn't good for owners. This makes it very hard for many people to get rid of their timeshare. I picked up several resale timeshares very cheap. As a buyer I like declining prices but if I were selling I would like increasing prices.

  I pretty much agree with you - HGVC has pretty fancy locations if you can get to them and they treat resale owners great. Wyndham has a surprising number of locations and also treat resale pretty well - you just avoid their sales pitches. MVC would be interesting to me for locations, but their MFs just seem like too much to me. I plan to try and use II to trade into them in shoulder weeks instead, using more inexpensive II members that trade well. Worldmark is kind of on the list for me, but I think they're still more MFs to trade values and like you said, I'm east coast so getting a deeded week at a Capital or Vacation Village property that trades well in II makes more sense. So I could likely stay in a Marriott for $950 MFs plus $250 exchange vs $1,900+ MFs. Though I do understand Marriott does have the buy a lockoff so you get 2 trades for one MF, I haven't fully looked into that, so it could make up for it - except I'm really only interested in 2BR or bigger units so that ... complicates things.

• 
  @DestinationTimeshare7 күн бұрын

  Marriott lockoffs can be a decent value, the only drawback is the additional fees for trading, but you should be able to get 2BR units for about $1000+II exchange Fees. The Marriott priority in II is another big benefit. Thanks for watching James!

  I'm basically against buying any timeshare with much if any resale restrictions cause like you, I'm not paying retail. I'd buy a good cheap trader under whoever if I don't have to get their points or whatever and can just use or trade the week. It's how I got a Capital Vacations and why I have considered Vacation Village - low fees but good traders.

  We used our MVC points for a Collette tour a year or two back. While not the best value, we were very happy with the trip. We considered booking with cash, but we preferred one of the MVC Exclusive tours only open to the MVC owners. The tour we choose had a lower activity level than the other cash tours... Talking with some of the other owners on the trip, I was surprised how many of them use their points for tours every year.

• 
  @DestinationTimeshare9 күн бұрын

  Yea, the owner only tours are a little harder to compare to cash values. I don't necessarily see an issue using them for these as long as one understands the "added cost". Many people may not want to sink a bunch of cash into a trip when they have already spent a bunch of cash on annual maintenance fees. They may also only be able to take one or two trips a year, so using the points for this does provide them with more options. For those trying to extract the most value, these offerings aren't the best use of points. Thanks for watching and being a channel member!

  I am with Hilton timeshare system but I have a question. What if a person just creates their own "timeshare" system? One with zero maintenance fees, no costs to book a vacation, flexibility to use as much or as little as you want annually with no additional costs, unlimited resorts and hotels regardless of brand, and easy exit if you decide it isn't for you. How to do this? Just put in a savings account 50K (or whatever you want) and have it dedicated for your travel. You are the timeshare to yourself. You book your stay directly with the hotel chain or thru a third-party discount service. There is no additional costs to you since you are paying with your vacation savings account.

• 
  @DestinationTimeshare12 күн бұрын

  That is certainly a good way to go. Just pay cash. At today's rates, interest on $50,000 will cover a good chunk of the travel costs. The only drawback can be that you may be in small standard hotel rooms where most timeshares are larger like one bedroom or two bedroom units. This can allow you to bring people along with you and save money over multiple hotel rooms or booking larger units at major resorts. Buying resale is the best of both worlds. You save on the huge upfront costs and can still get the long term savings booking larger units.

  I booked a cruise on MSC through MVC and was totally fleeced! The cruise cost us 1500 points, plus $800 cash. On the last day of the cruise I stopped by future cruise desk and they told us the value of our cruise was $1200 (for both of us). 1200-800 = 400. 1500 points = $400? That’s like $0.26!!!! On points we paid 15.00 for?!?! Come on!!! I was so disheartened when I found that out. I’m only using the points for resort stays from now on! I highly recommend you all do the MVC Made Easy course. It has shown me SO MUCH that I didn’t know. I’m lucky I only bought 1500 points from MVC and I swear to god I will never buy another point… Did you can rent points from other MVC owners when you need them and don’t have to worry about maintenance fees? I didn’t until I took MVC made easy…

The bigger issue in my opinion and why people are forced into these high point, low value transactions is because they are unable to reserve desired MVC properties because the weeks owners are not releasing their weeks. BTW, buying more points doesn't really fix that problem.
