<snip> ...her fixed week is 1 or 2 of the year. Unit is a Tanglewood 2B 2B which is great, with $600 MF. Our two timeshares are floating weeks, with Interval, so please explain the fixed week for us.
Fixed week 1 or 2 is always first or second week in January --- not a time period of much interest to you, at least based upon your stated post content.
We really don't ski in our 70's, we are more likely to travel to the resort on the spring and fall shoulder season.
Not by using a
fixed week 1 or 2 (i.e., first or second week in January).
Will we have any luck exchanging for Hawaii or elsewhere?
I'm admittedly not an exchanger, but intuitively it seems to me that getting to Hawaii with this early January AZ week as exchange fodder
may be a bit optimistic.
With all due respect, I suspect that "elsewhere" is a much more likely exchange.
Also, do we have to belong to RCI to just exchange within the Wyndham resorts.
Wyndham owns RCI ouright and a Wyndham ownership
provides you with a RCI membership (wanted or not), for which you are billed within the "program fees".
Any thing else we should know? Transfer fees etc.
Wyndham mandatory transfer fee is $299. If this is a fixed week, there is an associated deed. A
new deed would have to be prepared and recorded (and the $299 provided)
before Wyndham will entertain or process the ownership transfer. An outfit like LT Transfers charges about $150 for this part of the transfer process.
Your friend may be intending a kind gesture, but is this
really something that you can and will actually use to productive and enjoyable advantage?
