100% resale!!
I haven't seen anyone really discussing this option. The idea I was thinking that might be a cheap way to get developer benefits is getting 1 low MF 3 bedroom PIC and buying a 105,000 biennial deed retail via telesales.
That would be 306,500 developer points that can be used towards Club Pass, have access to RCI points, have a 15% discount at 60 days out and upgrades at 14 days out (most likely). I'm guessing the retail purchase would be $8,000-$10,000, which might be worth it to some in the long run. You can easily recover that purchase price by just having a ridiculously low MF PIC alone.
I personally am thinking of just getting WM resale so I have access to the WM locations as well as II, but this option is also something I might consider once the new tiers are official. PIC to Gold for $27,000 is just too much of a gamble to me personally. With how I personally vacation, it would take about 20 years for me to see a full return. By then, I will be 50 years old with no more kids and probably wouldn't need the membership anymore.
