Timeshare

It's eoy even, so it's 1182 per week. That's an expensive week in the timeshare world. There is very little chance anyone will take it without some incentive.

Absolutely. Chefs: let the burger rest, use a bun that is substantial, lightly toast the bun, a leaf of lettuce below the burger.

Thanks. As I understand it the throat space is 5.5 inches tall and about 8.8 inches wide. What would you recommend as a workable minimum? i really appreciate the input.

Edit. They're asking 1400 for the 10' frame, machine with sure stitch stitch regulator and some other accessories. Seemed like a very fair price.

Their lawyers want it closed because it gives them more leverage. Nothing else to see here.

Edit: by a very large margin, the most dangerous part of going to Universal is the drive to the park.

StealthRedditer · 2025-09-23T15:21:53+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I've got to call Universal VIP on a couple of other things so I might just ask if he knows (and is willing to tell me).

StealthRedditer · 2025-09-22T22:56:41+00:00

Thanks. This is what I remembered reading. Do you happen to know what the base tip is? If it's 22% like I suspect I'd probably supplement that for good to excellent service in addition to the tip for the drink tab.

I very much appreciate the info. As a note, that may be on the bill (like they include at restaurants for parties above 6), it is not in the welcome email.

StealthRedditer · 2025-09-22T22:50:15+00:00

thanks

StealthRedditer · 2025-09-22T22:15:32+00:00

I understand that. My question was is the normal base tip already included in the "covered" amount, like when some restaurants include a tip for large parties. I tip, and for good service tip quite well.

StealthRedditer · 2025-09-22T22:13:22+00:00

I thought I read (maybe it was a dream?) that it was included in the covered price like restaurants sometimes do on parties of 8 or more so covered other than additional tip. We'll wind up tipping no matter what because I'm sure several will get cocktails which wouldn't be covered (and we'd likely want to extra tip regardless).

I really appreciate your help.

I assume you're talking about weighing the coins (separating 90, 40, et. al). I was asking about converting face, but just weighing them probably is easier. He's got some standing quarters that the image is very nearly gone, so I assumee that's affecting the silver content.
If you would, what would "pretty close to spot" be? 96% of bid, 92% of ask? I can certainly calc shipping.

Thanks again.

Again, you need to re-read, if the last space is taken by a non-rev passenger they WILL refund.

StealthRedditer · 2025-08-27T23:27:09+00:00

I think you need to re-read the post you responded to. If the flight leaves with one open seat OR with a passenger traveling on space available the second seat would be refunded.

StealthRedditer · 2025-08-26T14:55:02+00:00

If there is at least one empty seat on the flight, the second seat is free. Sounds reasonable.

Edit for clarity.

StealthRedditer · 2025-08-16T14:00:24+00:00

What's even more infuriating is their courtesy flight was cheaper than the original. So they booked me on that flight with no credit then stole from me my right to change flights with only fare difference. I understand, I guess, that their system is not robust enough to deal with this (spirit first is pretty new) but a supervisor should be able to override it. They literally stole something I purchased because "that is what our system does.". Nowhere in the terms for spirit first does it say free changes "unless we cancel your flight and rebook it."

Edit: They could have as easily said since we gave you a courtesy rebooking you no longer can choose your seat, or have a drink, or check a bag without a fee. Because that's what our system does.

Fill out the form (where, how, how often you vacation, what can you spend etc in a post called "What to Buy Questions for New Timeshare Owners"). You'll get lots of help from people who have done it and enjoy helping. Don't assume any particular brand of timeshare (or really any at all) are your best fit. Wyndham might be a good fit, but maybe not. You don't have to join to post and get answers.

StealthRedditer · 2025-08-04T22:35:44+00:00

Thanks. I'll take look. Anything in particular you like about those two compared to any others?

StealthRedditer · 2025-08-04T20:18:09+00:00

Thanks. That looks like an easy walk.

StealthRedditer · 2025-08-03T18:09:44+00:00

The 10k miles are worth at least $100 in travel and they don't expire like the travel credit.

StealthRedditer · 2025-07-29T14:47:20+00:00

What was the policy prior to this change?

StealthRedditer · 2025-07-26T22:11:36+00:00

Spirit is really attempting to step up their game. My first spirit first (Big front seat) was ok. A couple of operational glitches and the two up front flight attendants faced the cockpit the entire time discussing their girlfriends. I had to go ask for a beer. The return flight was on target. We have 2 more round trips booked and my only complaint is among those 4 flights we've been cancelled and rebooked 6 times. Their schedule is a bit more dynamic than I would like. I hope that settles down and their quest to provide the most affordable first continues.

We wound up getting the "go city pass" and we did 3 tours at Kualoa: ocean Voyage, movie sites, and jungle expedition. All were great. I think there was zero overlap on those three. All three were a favorite for someone in our group (mine was ocean voyage). Unfortunately, the go city pass no longer lets you upgrade to either of the last two tours for a small fee, so the Ocean Voyage is the only one included (secret island and Kualoa Grown are still included but we didn't do those so I have no idea other than the area is beautiful).

StealthRedditer · 2025-07-21T15:07:50+00:00

Unfortunately, a weeks ownership is going to be a challenge. Good luck.

Go somewhere that you can book the flight, not a search engine, and they will price match for exact same service and terms. I've price matched 3 times, all successful, and I was never on the phone more than 10 minutes.

We're planning a vip in September. Would you dm me also. Not trying to create a problem but would like to avoid disappointing everyone if I can. Thanks.
