Is there any other way that I can exchange my VV - 2 Bedroom Lockout at Village at Bonaventure rather than going through either RCI or Interval?
I am 83 now and would like a Vegas vacation at Grandview or Wyndham - Can't travel long distances unfortunately any longer? I am also open to jusdt exchanging it for a Vegas location.

I own/owned a similar unit. I quit paying the maintenance fees in 2021. I've gotten several requests from them to pay them but I've been tossing them in the trash. I did try and return the unit back to them for FREE, but they wanted me to pay fees that were not yet due plus another outrageous amount. I wrote them back several times offering to give it back for FREE. So, I'll just continue to ignore any correspondence from them. My unit was purchased 25 yrs ago with cash. So, I figured they'd gotten enough out of me, and I told them that! Lol.
Good luck on finding an exchange!

Did they ever track you down?

I have a question that I hope someone can answer for me. We own at Vacation Village at Parkway. It trades for 92.5K RCI points. We have been able to book vacations a year (or more) in advance since owning in 2021. We received a letter this week from VV informing us that we may not book for 2025 unless we have paid our 2025 MF's. We've paid 2024 fees, but are fully booked for 2024 and are working on 2025. They threaten to put a hold on our reservations we've made for 2/15/25-3/1/25 already with RCI. In talking with them, they say we should not have been able to book in advance without paying that year's MF's. RCI tells us it is the right of a timeshare company to place holds and it's out of their control. We own another non-VV property of equal trading value, but seemingly the points are all in one pool with RCI, with no distinction made. VV says we have two weeks to pay the 2025 MF's (which they say they have no idea how much they will be) or they will place a hold on the reservations we've made. We received no bill as such, but they say we can pay online or by phone by credit card, which we fear will have an additional fee. Any advice will be appreciated, thank you!

I am not really sure on the details but I presume it would be the right of resorts to place a hold on points allocation for next year since you have not paid for next year's MF.
You can pay with a credit card for next year. Just pay the same amount as it was this year. The money sits as a credit in your account until the MF for next year is finalized. There is no fee to pay with a credit card. I have prepaid for mine online already for my Grandview Las Vegas unit.

You can make an estimated payment for next year’s maintenance fee based on current year’s maintenance. I did this so I could deposit a week for a 2025 week.
