So are new owners still able to find availability in, say, January? It seems like there's lots of talk of waitlisting already and I didn't know if it's a long shot to expect my sleep arounds to snag me a midweek studio booking 😏

Those are the same people that make statements like "I told my husband I didn't care what payments we had to skip this month we were going on a vacation somewhere!" And "when we go on vacation we usually just take out a loan from the credit union and then pay it back over the year" And...

For me personally the 2042 resorts are out of the mix based on their end date. The only one I might have a soft spot for is BWV. I do lean towards adding on at VGF or BLT but we'll see how incentives go over the next few months. I go back and forth and honestly the restrictions are annoying to...

That is true. VDH got a pretty unfair shake going straight 5%on everything. But I think we can all agree that VB is a Bad Hombre 🤣 Unless of course you like going to Vero Beach. I actually wish I would have run this calculation when I was buying. I balked at the 120s BLT was commanding at the...

For fun I was playing with my DVC spreadsheet and since many of the 15 year costs on 150 points for various resorts were in the 40-50k range I decided to alter the purchase price to show what damage dues can do. I wanted to see how close I could get the total 15 year cost to 45k (factoring in...

There are a few financing options with some making a bit of sense and others not so much. Some of the loans geared towards timeshares or DVC specifically are 10% or greater which is wild to me and consensus around here is 'hard no'. There are options through Lightstream and some others that...

OMG I totally forgot about that lagoon-- my dad took me out on a pedal boat on my first trip and I had kind of forgotten about it until I saw that picture.

I am a PDX girl so we do lots of Alaska flights. This particular flight they are almost double the price. I am not *that* loyal :laughing:

We did make it work on our own with us each taking a kid and doing some swaps with passengers but the principal of United helping none made me eternally bitter. Not to mention the seat I did manage to get with DD3 was the last row middle and window next to a very large woman....it made for a...

Well good. I was leaning Delta because about 8 years ago I swore I wouldn't step foot on another United flight after they changed planes and split up our 3 and 7 year old to random middle seats coming home from WDW. This was in the free seat days but we did have our family together and no joke...

Hey does anybody have any preference on first class United or Delta from LAX (on points, same price)? My fingers are very crossed that I will be able to snag 3 nights at the end of January at VDH with my SSR points. If that doesn't work I will shoot for VGC. Final runner up is the Westin. I...

Random question: what churning related services do you use, if any? I am a cheapskate couponer at heart but I have finally crossed the line into 'I will pay for convenience'. For me I willingly pay for a points.me subscription and my awardwallet sub. I think I have more than gotten my monies...

Yeah my logical side says go with convenience--and getting into Cancun at a reasonable afternoon time instead of wasting a day traveling and getting in at 0100 is probably a smarter move. TBH if I asked my husband he would vote shorter and more convenient flight too. I will have to save my dream...

Anyone have much experience with first/business class out of LAX? I am looking for fanciest and most fun between the lounge experience and the plane itself. We have the following options: -United Direct, Boeing 737, $512 cash (Amex Biz Plat 35% rebate= 33,300 MR's) -Delta Direct, Boeing 737...

How big is the new Poly tower in relation to say, BLT? The artist renderings make me think it could be it's own association but then the photos posted look like it's really small, like our couldn't contain that many villas.

Wrong thread!

That's rude! So rude!

PDX used to have a nonstop to LGB that was direct and would go on sale for really good prices (and cheap in points too) so I signed up for the Jet Blue card and got the award miles just as they announced they were ending that route 😡 I still haven't found a good use for those sad miles...

These cabins are so not what floats my boat. A vacation is not a vacation if I have a bunk bed full of children next to me and we all are sharing one bathroom. DVC has turned me into such a bedroom snob and there is no going back. "These 225 points will get us loads of nights in studios!"...

I feel like that is probably very obviously written somewhere had I lifted a finger to look. Haha! Thanks
