OK. Here's the deal.
I just got off the phone with a rep from OP. I was told that OP lost it's standing with RCI, the timeshare trading company. RCI is on a points system. Since OP is a weeks based resort, RCI suspended them from their inventory. The rep tells me that for a small fee, they can convert my floating week into a points based system, promising me all these wonderful things (an extra week for free, more exchange power). I kindly told him that Oak Plantation gets enough of my money already in maintenance fees and that I will stick with my floating week. I did not ask how much the fee is but I researched online. There are some resorts charging up to $8000 to convert from weeks to points.
If you get this call, you can decline it. It will not effect your exchange power with Interval International.
