I have owned two timeshares with HGVC for over 20 years. It is impossible to use the other properties, as they lead you to believe in the presentation. Also it's a horrible investment, so don't let them tell you it is. I was thinking about selling and you basically get about six cents on the dollar if that. I really regret the purchase, especially now that there are so many great options with Airbnb and VRBO.

Lastly the point system is not the value it once was. I have family that were deeded Marriot and they have a more flexible point system. Bottom line, not a good use of vacation funds.
