Yes, that includes all costs including maintenance fees and exchange fees. In the points system there is no cost beyond the annual maintenance fees to use the points within the system. For the other week that includes the prorated annual exchange company membership fee, the annual maintenance...

I'll fess up - another happy ts owner here. I own two. One is a floating week that I bought for less than $500 on eBay strictly to exchange, and when I deposit it I also get a second week to use. The other is a points-based system whose locations we like - they have 9 locations and we...

Only one needs to be 55+. We signed up for this on Saturday and they only asked for one ID, though both DH and I are 55+. Here's the link to the plan on T Mobile's website: https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/t-mobile-one-unlimited-55. We switched from a US Cellular prepaid plan (without...

Thanks for posting this - we've been looking to switch from a prepaid US Cellular plan that costs the same as this from T Mobile but doesn't have the unlimited aspects for everything. We'll check it out on Saturday at the closest store.

Why "obviously"? When we travel on vacation and even for many of my business trips I/we either stay in timeshares with a full or at least limited kitchen, or if we have to stay in hotels it's an Extended Stay type with some type of kitchen. We generally cook in at least one meal a day...

Since Fred has already won it, I'm rooting for Sergio Garcia, one of my all-time favorites without a major.

Vermont, until retirement, when we'll move somewhere else since the state taxes everything! Still working at 63 - planned to retire at end of 2018 when eligible for Medicare, but my current job is so stressful that now I'm shooting for sometime this year. This is my first post - I don't feel...
