Thats due to new rates for next season not being set yet. We can reserve dates, just dont know next year's rates yet.
we bought in just last week and we understood the risk vs benefits of buying in what I liked most about this plan is your not restricted to where you vacation it is not your typical time share where you can only go to one resort during certain weeks...so even if I want to go to MAUI, I can go to one of the hundreds of resorts with RCI and 2 other companys and all I pay is 399$ for a week with up to 3 rooms you can't get that in MAUI on your own, that benefit alone is worth the cost. We also get 25-50% back on our Airfare not sure how this works yet havn't used it. also when we do come back to TTR every year all we pay is the all inclusive fees and I know that varies depending on when we go from 50-75 per night! and even though we cant use our 2 free weeks until 50% of our membership is paid I would say money well spent!
