Anyone got good trades with sudwala lately?

douga · Nov 15, 2007

My sudwala weeks used to be great traders(on a par with Durban Sands and a one bdr vs a two bdr) but lately I cannot get anything decent even in Orlando which seems to be the timeshare capital of the world.
Is it about time to dump these weeks?

I can get Orlando (and did get Houses at Summer Bay last year), but overall, my Sudwalas are now 'dog' traders. boo hoo - same with my Durban Sands.

Ditto!

I can get some "average" trades in off season but not very many. Something has changed...and it has even been upgraded to Silver.

I recently banked my 2009 week with RCI and it doesn't trade anywhere near as well as my 2008 week. I only use it to go to the Poconos every summer so hopefully it will still be good enough for that.

Door County

My last exchange using a Sudwala week, I took a mid-August week at Little Sweden in Door County, WI. I was very pleased!

I last traded for a 3 BR at Barnsdale Country Club, England June '06, and a 3BR at Smuggler's Notch, VT September '06. I recently had sightings at Banff Rocky Mountain Resort and Elkhorn at the Lodges, AB for June '08 though I didn't take the trades. You be the judge.

My two RED Sudwala weeks are both dog traders!!

I've sent a couple of emails to Niky Watt lately without a reply. Anyone know if she's away?

My 2008 sudwala peak week is a dog trader. The same peak week for 2007 was a very good trader.

Yes, through DAE.

RCI gets NONE of my weeks until they change their evil ways and stop looting the Spacebank for rentals.

going to get rid of mine. Contacted Ron at Fairfields but if I knew of someone who wanted to 'adopt' them free and how to go about doing that then i would be happy to do that as well.

Exchanges

I felt my Sudwalas were dog traders too. I was going to sell them this summer. However, I find that they still pull nice trades through RCI if the dates are far enough out.

My 2008 Sudwala pulled a 2-bedroom at Camaron Cove in FL for New Year's 2008/2009.

My other 2008 pulled a 1-bedroom beachfront at Via Roma in FL for 4th of July 2008.

I just paid levies (mf) for 2009 for the two which was a little over $600US.

Would a want a better trader with these kinds of mfs? Sure! Have I found one? Not yet!

I did notice that the trades are not bad a year or so out so I am reconsidering what to do. Thanks for all the help.

Still A Happy Camper

Haven't actually traded them yet. But, having said that my pink week pulls 47 resorts all over Florida for Jan-Feb 2009 and my Peak week pulls 91. The peak week is my best trader and the pink week pulls nice gold crown resorts in the swing season. Of course, the maintenance fees are the lowest I have. Also, Niky, Ron and now Doreen are excellent to work with. I get better service out of South Africa than I do in the US.

I just hope it doesn't change

I'm still happy with my Sudwala. Yes, I may have to work a little harder than before but for the money I still get some good trades. Mauna Loa Village on the Big Island last year, and a Playa Grande in Cabo for this year.

Anyone got good trades with sudwala lately?
