I bought a unit at summer bay in 2007. The transfer of that unit was messed up and I received a refund from the timeshare reseller.
Amazingly, after a decade, Orange Lake has finally completed the transfer. Unfortunately, they have also sent me past due bills for unpaid dues, late fees, interest, and collections. They had been sending the bill to the previous owner - up until June this year.
Needless to say, they responded little to my complaints - and merely pointed out that my rights for all of my ownership, that were suspended because I was so far in arrears, could be restored by just paying the bill.
Amazing, but true

Ebay currently has a listing for a South Beach Studio 1br unit with 26k annual points with maintenance fees set at $473 which comes out to a little more than $18 per 1K points. Is this typical? If so, isn't that a terrible price to be paying for so few points?

I am a preferred HICV owner in Orlando and Hill Country.
I am a preferred HICV owner in Orlando and Hill Country. I am considering purchasing 5 or 6 resale units on the market. I have a few questions for those much smarter than me:)
1. Is this possible, for me to buy a certain week form the resale market and convert to points to add to my current portfolio?
2. Can SL/HICV keep me from doing this?
3. Will these other "weeks" add up in points? My goal is 1 million. We travel a LOT.
In advance, thank you so much for your time.

Does anybody have any recommendations for other points systems besides HICV with the following features that make HICV a really great fit for me?
1) Good availability for partial week stays outside of owned resort and season
2) Points membership through resale purchase
3) Many resort options
4) Reasonably priced low-maintenance resale units (using HICV as a baseline)
5) Online booking
6) Non-commercial rental of points reservations allowed
The only other system I have used extensively is Festiva/Escapes, which meets #2, #4, and #6 but fails on #1, #3, and #5, which is why I am looking to get out. Consequently, if anyone is interested, I have an annual and a biennial left, which allows for booking Hot Springs, Branson, and Orange Beach, as well as available reservations for Orange Beach in July and August.

This is the first post in a new category called Non-HICV Travel, where people can post other topics of interest. Please limit your new posts in this category to one post per week (so that HICV is still the dominant topic). Some of my future topic ideas include non-HICV timeshares and hotel points.
