Hello Bob and welcome! Congratulations, you made a great purchase both on what you bought and the price you paid. From what you posted about your Kingsgate maintenance fees they are $4.66 per thousand points, so under $5 per thousand points which is very good. Just to give you some idea of how good take a look at the stickies at the top of the page under the Wyndham forum and look at the maintenance fees for some of the different resorts. Look at the 2018 maintenance fee sticky as not many people have posted their resorts for 2019 yet. Bonnet Creek is $5.87 per thousand points and Club Wyndham Access is $5.76 per thousand points, and those figures don't include the program fee either. Add another .56 per thousand points for the program fees. Be aware that the maintenance fees and program fees will be going up in 2019 for all the resorts but you are still way better off with where you will own than you would be at so many other resorts. The program fee brings me to another thing that you did right with this purchase. You bought over 231,000 points so will be paying .58 per thousand points instead of the minimum program fee of $135 if you had bought something with fewer points. These are the new figures for 2019 for the program fee. Another thing you did right is that you started with a decent number of points. Once you and your family get spoiled by staying at the timeshare resorts you might be buying more points but you started out with a decent amount. Many newbies go for the 77k or 154k points deeds, many with high maintenance fees, because they were free or so cheap they were almost free. Too often you get what you pay for, but you didn't even pay that much so, win, win, win!
If you tell us where you are from we can recommend our favorite resorts that might be within say 8 hours driving distance. Or tell us what area you would like to vacation in first or in the next year or two. Like Dr. Seuss says, Oh the places you'll go!
