I know I need Trust "E" to keep my fees down but the sales also say sales type "Y". What does this stand for? I can't find any info about it anyplace. Thanks.

Yes indeed this is off subject but I will respond anyway since the Moderators have not moved this to a more appropriate thread. Each Trust Fund has several Sales Types. Join the BG Yahoo Group and examine their FAQ for details.

A program where you can trade a non-BG timeshare week in to BG, pay a fee, and get points to use within the BG system.

Thanks- any place where this shown on the BG website? Is this for premier owners at a certain level (gold, platinum, silver?)

This has never been mentioned to me at any owner update. Any specifi info would be much appreciated.

This is not on the BG website. It is not for premium owners. It's for owners who buy from BG.

If you want to find out about it at an owners update, simply tell the sales critter that you like the BG system but you have this other timeshare which makes the total MF too expensive for you.

All of the specific information is contained in this thread. There is nothing to add other than stating all of the things you agree to (the legalese).

I'm not sure how old the AIM program is but at the sales pitch (owner's update) I was at in Nov at Club 36 they said I would have to make a purchase to be able to start using the AIM program.

AIM program has been around since 2003 at least. That is when I learned about it. On the forms, they ask you how many points did you purchase from BG. A reminder: if you only buy 5,000 points from BG, you can only get up to 5,000 AIM points each year in exchange for your non-BG unit/week.

Here is how to use AIM.

1. Buy BG Points from BG.

2. Make a reservation at your non-BG resort at least a year in advance. The time must be RCI red time and the resorts must be RCI gold or silver crown or II 5* .

3. Get the two sets of AIM forms from BG.

4. Fill out the two sets of AIM forms for each non-BG week that you are going to put into the AIM program. (I also include a copy of the non-BG reservation form.)

5. Write out a check for $99 for each non-BG week and send the check and the two sets of AIM forms to BG.

6. Points will be added to your account depending upon number of bedrooms and if gold or silver crown. You are also limited to the number of points that you purchased from BG. So, if you purchased 10,000 points from BG, you cannot get 12,000 AIM Points.

7. You have one year to use these points. They cannot be saved. I understand that they can be used for high red time but I never have.

I do not know what 126,000 Wyndham points will get you so I cannot determine how many BG Points you would get.

If you are a member of the BG Yahoo Group, they are in the BG Information Storage Area which is in the Files area. Otherwise, contact BG.
