Does Phoenix trend conservative politically?
Hi Fishers, I have accepted Walmart offer and my BGV has started 3 weeks ago. How do I check my BGV status? I will be joining in mid May. Also, I have been hiding one of the company where I had worked for 45 days and then absconded due to personal issues. Would it create any trouble? They had created my PF account though. Any help would be highly appreciated
Does HCL run BGV on UAN?

Why? The maintenance fees and actual cost are about the same as paying for a vacation, except it’s less flexible.
Don't do timeshare. There are lawyers that specialize in getting people out of timeshares. That should tell you all you need to know.
Run away..google MVC if you want and you can read the horror stoires..
Dang! So far strong NO lol… there are few places we like to visit every year and spend few weeks. Instead of paying for hotels and Airbnb during peak periods.. thought timeshare will make sense…
You haven’t done the cost benefit analysis or charted your break even if you think it’s less than Air BnB.
Don’t get me wrong, you should take the free trip and listen to the 1.5 hr pitch, but don’t buy. Free trip = yes. Buy = no.

Have friends who have worked in finance for Wyndham timeshares and they were the most adamant that they are terrible deals.
The cost is often as much or more than just booking the room / condo, you don’t have guarantees of availability for peak times, there are blackout dates, and the maintenance fees are essentially unlimited and there is nothing you can do about them.
There is a reason they’re able to give away so much free shit, including vacations themselves, to sell timeshares. The margins are astronomical.

Also, they don’t tell you but upfront pricing is highly negotiable. Her job was actually running the numbers and saying yes or no to the deals salespeople negotiated.
Timeshares were better a decade ago, at least with Marriott. My parents have one and Marriott’s been trying to get them to switch over to their new points system. They can currently get something like 7 days in Vegas over a peak period but if they change they would never be able to get that same deal. So 1) it costs more and 2) you get less. Plus maintenance costs went from $400/year when they bought it and it’s up to $1600/year.
You can look up their vacation club point chart and maintenance costs to see how awful it is but would not recommend them now.
Don't do this
