Started the ball rolling in February 2005 with the $10 per point incentive, and got membership starting with an August 2005 UY.
First stay on points was VB in July 2006. Then SSR in February 2007. We will be returning to VB this July.
We stayed at OKW on cash in early 2000, and soon thereafter received paperwork about coming down to stay on a very inexpensive trip (was either $99 for several nights, can't remember if it included transportation) for what must have been the Boardwalk. If I had known more about it, I think I would have joined then.
