I am sure something like this has been asked a few times, and I could not find an answer doing a quick search so here goes..
1) I very recently purchased a platinum week at Horizons Marriott in Orlando for around X amount of dollars. Got a whole bunch of bonus Marriott Rewards points (around 350,000) for signing up,etc. This unit will be a lockoff unit that can be split into two weeks in the A and B sides if I want. I just signed everything Last Friday, and am still within the 10 day "Forget it" period...
2) I also have the chance to purchase a resale at Horizon's for around half the amount of the new purchase in a Platinum full week also. This of course has no bonus points at all of course. This one is not a lock-off unit at all, BTW.
Given these conditions, what would everybody here do? Would you keep the full price purchase, or purchase the re-sale one for half the price? From a monetary perspective, the re-sale looks much better, but am I missing something here? Also can I use the non-lockoff of the re-sale to trade for a lockoff unit somewhere to get two weeks worth of vacation somewhere else?
Since I know very little about timeshare, I need to defer to the experts here.
Thanks in advance,
Reed
