Direct vs. Resale Benefits?

[Talent312]

Now Judi, I don't see you post for ages, and the one time you do, you endorse someones endorsement of yourself. LOL.

I suspect that she doesn't feel the need to post becuz the other posters (yourself included) do such an excellent job of advising wayward souls. Either that, or she has a web-crawler that perks its ears whenever there's any mention of her name.

Question. I got the sales pitch and VERY high pressure to buy at Grand Pacific. I do like the area, the points and bonus points were OK, and I got the same lies from the sales guy. During the presentation he showed me a website from Grand Pacific resorts that lets me book weeks for cheap (like RCI), but it was only for the HGVC owners that bought at Carlsbad resorts. If I bought Carlsbad resale, would I have access to that site also? Thanks for any guidance.

Edit: I found the website, gtxvacations. It looks like all you have to be is a Grand Pacific owner. So if I buy resale at Seapointe or Marbrisa, am I a HGVC owner or GP owner, or both?

Its for anyone that owns a Grand Pacific resort, even resale. It doesn't need to be one of the HGVC units.

Thank you. I was also wondering if those of those properties on the GTX website are also on RCI ? The prices on it seem very good for renting weeks

The exact same week won't be listed on more than exchange company at a time. The prices are very good on the GPX website and they will sometimes have sales where you can get those for 50% off. If you own anything within Grand Pacific Resorts, you have access to everything in GPX, including the non Grand Pacific resorts that are listed in there. They often have Wyndham and Blue Green. They probably have other stuff, too, but I am usually only interested in Grand Pacific resorts, so I don't pay much attention to all the additional stuff in there.

If you think you'd be staying at Grand Pacific locations often and don't mind paying the rental fees + the resort fees, it is worth it to pick up a cheap EOY Grand Pacific unit to have access to all their stuff in GPX. Just keep in mind that normal high demand stuff like a week in Carlsbad in the summer are few and far between for rent. They have tons of off season rentals, though.
