They gave you a bronze week but I'll bet you pay the annual maintenance fee. I view that as a huge liability.
They took you on that one. There were excess bronze weeks unsold, so they wanted someone, anyone to pay a maintenance fee.
Hope you're aware that you can probably rent that bronze week for less than the maintenance fee. Or rent the DC points and stay there even for less than renting outright.
I’ve never had a bad trade with the bronze week. Never used it in season. Always fun to talk to a person who payed between 10000 and 20000 for the same thing. Let’s put it this way I can’t rent a week at places I go for less than the maintenance fee I pay. It’s fun to be taken see you in Hawaii next year
Very glad you have gotten great trades with it. Believe me, I'm on your side for that.
My point is that it usually doesn't work out so well, and folks try to give them away.
It doesn't pull a lot of weight in trading, so perhaps it does work in seasons and at resorts that are not booked up.
That was the only way your bronze week would have passed any test.
I'll bet not one TUG member that's been around would accept a free gift of a bronze week. Or purchase one.
Sorry I won't be able to see you in Hawaii, gonna give it a rest since I was there last April at MOC.
But seriously, happy travels and hope your good fortune continues with nice upgrade trades.
