Hi All,
I'm new here so if am out of line, please let me know.
I went to Marriott's Aruba Surf Club and bought an one week, 2 bedroom 2 bathroom, garden view, platinum season. For background, I intend to go to Aruba every other year, and save up the Marriott points to go other place in the world. I decided to buy direct from Marriott as it didn't seem the price difference for re-sale was that large, but then again I only searched for a little bit.
We got a purchase incentive of one week Interval International free to be used within 18 months. I'm trying to maximize my dollars here and always wanted to go to Bora Bora. Is this possible?
I know this is probably a question for the Marriott rep, but just wanted to see what feedback this will spark. I'm open to other suggestions to go to fully maximize my one week Interval International (i.e. cost the most).
Also, where can I go to refinance this once my 6 month period is up? I'd like to keep this a separate mortgage and not use a home equity line of credit or put it on a credit card.
In all, I'm very happy with my purchase so far. I am young and this is one of my "investments" that will force me to go on vacation and travel to places I wouldn't have, and by the time I will about break even I should have kids to make it worth it to stay at a 2 bedroom 2 bath instead of a hotel room.
Looking forward to joining this community of knowledge.
