Just attended an "owner update" @ Star Island and was told they just broke ground for two tower resort in Clearwater Beach. No specifics were given...not even an estimated completion date or physical address. But I was told that if I "drove around the area a little bit", it would become obvious where the location is (so I am guessing there must be signage).

I'm at Wyndham Ocean Walk in Daytona Beach and nothing about Clearwater Beach or any other new resort in Florida was mentioned. Did they try to sell you CWA points and use a "new Florida resort" as bait?

Yes, they did. The only catch is it's for the hotel side, not a timeshare. As usual, a grain of truth in the deliberately vague information.

Very interesting! Actually, the salespeople didn't push me hard at all to buy. I told them I had purchased resale and when they asked why, I told them it was all about price. They asked me what I paid for my points and I told them...and I also told them I knew what I was "missing out on" by not owning developer points. I told him it's all about knowing what you have...and the TUG BBS forum was a great place to learn about how to maximize your ownership. He gave a half-hearted effort at trying to push me into a Wyndham Visa card, but that's about it.

As someone else mention, it's a Wyndham Grand hotel. No timeshare units to speak of.
