Thank you for your feedback. I just booked and purchased the $39 flexible changes insurance. As for the resort, we stayed here a few times and are confident in that part. Last question. I see they just charged my cc. Do you know when I can call the resort and confirm the reservation? Thanks againI have won about 100 auctions for condo stays through Skyauction, with over half at Orlando resorts. Some of the Orlando resorts are great. Most have issues and you have to do research so you know what to expect. I have found that I need to be flexible with expections and be willing to overlook some problems in exchange for saving money on timeshare stays.
Keep in mind that Skyauction has a strict no refund policy. With the current events, I personally would not use them and instead would book
reservations that can be cancelled. They do often have last minute availability, so it may be a good option for those who are willing to travel before we know the answers to a lot of questions about covid19.
Thanks for that. I guess I’ll have to deal with my anxiety until thenI’m usually that person that calls after I made the reservation and then a few weeks before our arrival so there’s no surprisesFir the price I paid though I’ll have to survive. Good tip about not mentioning the price to other guests They charged my cc on the 7th so I’m guessing any day I should be receiving the confirmation from sky auction right? Thanks for answering my questions and easing my worries. Stay safeA resort may not receive notification of your reservation until the day you arrive. It depends on the type of auction you won. For most of my weekly timeshare stays, the resort was notified at the last minute. My reservation was in the system only about half the time. The other half they had to check a list of reservations sent over that day. Sometimes the resort had no record of my reservation and I had to present my confirmation in order to get a room. Make sure to print your confirmation and take an copy with you.
I have booked at the last minute, did not have a printer and had to send a copy off my phone to their email so they could print it. Check in can take hours if they have no record of the reservation.
You can always try to contact the resort before arrival, but don’t get worried if you are not in their system. I have always been able to get room.
Skyauction does collect payment in full as soon as you win the auction.
I try to not tell other guests I meet at the resort how little I paid through Skyauction. It could really upset owners since they pay so much just for maintenance fees.
