Points Arrived and I'm Ecstatic

Yeah, right!

Just arrived in the mail yesterday. Our clunky old, run down, flea-bag, moth-eaten, rum-dum, second rate resort in an out-of-way, up-the-road, unpopular ski area is now Points.

Yippee.

They invited us to stop by to listen the spiel the next time we're there.

Can't wait!

Oh come on Jim, don't tell me you're not even slightly tempted to go.

It'll only cost you 5x what you originally paid for the week..

What a deal. Who can resist?

...and what attracted you to this wonderful resort in the first place, Jim?

Let's see, five times $300 would be . . .

As to the rest I cannot answer without tempting the lose-what-you-brag-about rule.

Those who really know me know why we own what we own and don't what we don't own.

Hey Jim

They want $995 to convert and set up the points account- not too bad. I picked up a week 28 BL unit - do you think it would trade well with RCI???

I hate to give away any trade secrets, but, with the new golf course, yes.

So, the point (get it?) is, why do you need Points?

Not to give too many secrets away, but if you are trading only, you are paying $429.75 to get what you could have gotten for $235.08, at least when they credit accounts correctly!
