Can free stays still be cancelled?

Can free stays still be cancelled? If not, does anyone know when the policy changed? I noticed the following in the fine print:

"Please be aware complimentary stays are final bookings. Any changes or cancellations to these reservations will result in the forfeit of your free stay."

Hubby and I joined yesterday after 6 hrs (neither one of us wanted to buy without researching) and being told we have “today” only to receive the perks such as $219/319 for last call reservations, added points, etc.

We got 40K points/yr (which is worthless after reviewing what this gives us) plus 80K bonus pts given in March 2019 for $11K with 10% down.

After researching (thanks to your site and others) we want OUT.

What do we have to do to cancel?

Will we get our $1K downpayment back? If so when?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I recently purchased a timeshare that was supposed to come with 2018 use and was told the following: "We reached out to the resort and they advised they had automatically banked the points with RCI which makes the points unavailable for 2018."

Can you bank points with RCI? I was under the impression that HICV points stayed in your HICV account until you used them for RCI?

So after finding this forum and TUG (unfortunately to late to rescind, I may add) I realized my husband and I were duped for our purchase of $12k for $50,000 points at Orange Lake in late August. I am not sure what our MF is off the top of my head. We are looking to vacation more often, preferably international travel with our 4 children, however I see now that 50k in points will get you practically nothing and neither will the 100k when we rollover our points til next year. When looking through the 2018 catalog during the presentation the points were misrepresented as being during the whole stay/vs per night.

My question is if we pay off the full balance next year would it be best to just resell back to Orange Lake and then find another reseller for more points? I also have the IHG credit card so I was looking to earn more points that way, but do those points roll into your HICV account or just your IHG rewards? I know you can rollover your points to IHG after the first two years, so those points would add to whatever I already have accumulated in IHG through the credit card?

How do I make the most of this upsetting situation when the end goal is to travel smart and save money with such a large family.

We are new Club members. Is the status level worth anything? I see it as just a marketing ploy to sucker new sales.

Anyone else notice that "Limited Availability" stays can no longer be booked online? You have to call now.
