Hi Everyone! I apologize in advance if these questions have been answered elsewhere but I need some helpful guidance about my first purchase into the HGVC system. I attended a TS presentation at the Elara a couple months back and nearly signed on a retail purchase but thankfully I did some research on resale prices/opportunities before signing. I'm fairly young-ish (late-20s) and the HGVC program seems like a really good opportunity (save $$$ if done correctly) since I'm in a position in my life where I can travel pretty frequently (Secured Job, Married, Dual Income, No Kids, etc.)
1. When I spoke with the Elara TS salesman, he told me that resale purchasers can not use HGVC points to book at other properties - ergo, they are limited to booking at only their deeded property - is this true? Based on my limited TUG forum research, that appears to be false?
2. I realize prices change on the constant but what would you consider a good price on a resale purchase & could pass the ROFR? I'm looking to purchase roughly 5,000 annual HGVC points.
Finally, any advice/tips/recommendations regarding the purchase process and what to expect would be welcomed!
