re: Wyndham Vacation Ownership

My parents bought one a while ago. Points vary by location and type of room, but generally are somewhere between 8 and 24 k a night. It's definitely not worth the initial investment, I don't know if you can buy it off someone or not. They pay 90 bucks a month in maintenance fees and would have to stop paying to get rid of that fee.

If you plan on using it once or twice a year, it's not a bad deal. But they got old and in poor health, so that's not possible. I'll use some of it. You still have to pay for airfare and food obviously. Buying an all inclusive vacation each time package might be more sensible in the long run.

The properties are generally pretty nice and it's easy to book and cancel in advance. It's got its pros and cons, overall I'd say after the initial investment, it's been worthwhile.
