The nightmare began in April 2014. We purchased our initial membership for 9680.00. This included 4000 points used biannually. We went the following year to Banner Elk in Boone NC. Original maintenance fees were around 600.00. Then in 2016, my wife were invited for a "free weekend" in Murell's Inlet, SC. After another high pressure sales pitch, we bought another 4600 points for 9505.00. We decided to use our hard bought points to go to Rangley in Maine. Since it wasn't our year I had to pay maintenance fees (now 1000.00) in advance. Needless to say Rangeley wasn't available. So we paid out of pocket. The following year we decided to take our grandkids to Disney World. Again, nothing available for our week. So we paid out of pocket again. Maintenance fees for this year have tripled to 1854.80. Mind you, this is only for a chance every two years to try and go somewhere you like in a limited time frame. All I'm paying for is a service, but their service is not worth the thousands of dollars I've paid or the thousands I still owe.
