Do we need an option for Club Season reservations (that's been my most frequent selection)? Thanks and love the polls!

Best,

Greg

I did option 5 once when I was a new member, it was something I still am mad about, paying $1,000 for something that I could have just paid directly 300 for was horrible. The good side is I learned never to do that again

Club, OS and RCI only.
I don't use OS anymore now that they've jacked up the prices.
They can keep it. Cheaper to do a cheap exchange or an AC
with II.

In addition to booking a reservation through club season and RCI, I own a GPR/HGVC timeshare (MarBrisa) so, I have also booked a cash stay through their bonus week options and Resortime website. These are perks that are offered to the GPR/HGVC affiliates.

Mostly Club Reservations, but have also used Fiesta Americana, RCI and Cruises Only once each.
