Holidays
I thought I had seen it all with regards to holidaying. I even thought I had seen it all with regards to time share. But there seems to be something new on the market. A time share points based system. Buena Viva Exeter seems to offer just that. You buy points in advance and you change them for holidays.
I scoured their website and found it is not for me. Although if you go not in peak season it costs you half the points as high season, it is still not enough benefit for me. First of all, I do not want to be tied with one company indefinately. Secondly even though they offer different countries and places, it is still too trapped for my liking. It feels too much like time share.
I like my holidays to be free and relaxed. And sometimes I also want to go to places that are still authentic. I am aware that begins to rule out Europe as a whole since the EC but that still leaves a whole undiscovered world.

Don’t touch anything to do with Buena Viva, St Frances Marketing, Marsh Barton, Exeter. See Holiday Watchdog Forum for details on the scam.
