Hi,
Mahalo to all the Tuggers out there for all your advice and viewpoints! I very much appreciate it. As a first time buyer, please tell me if this makes sense/if this is a good arrangement:
I'm considering a 2-bedroom lock-off at Grand Chateau, EOY. Price: $17,900, MF about $880. Amount of points if I were to convert every use year: 110,000. Buyer's incentive 75,000. The up-front incentive seems a little low to me. However, it's an even-year usage and I won't be able to use it until 2010. Another 110,000 points for 2008. I'll plan to use the Visa @5 points per $1 for the purchase. I thought about the EY, cost: $29,900 - A bet hefty as I'd like to "try it out" first. And I might go re-sale for another week in the future.
Converting to points is a biggie for me, as I feel the packages are a good deal. I've been seeking a low purchase price, low MF, greatest point value, and a good trade. Also, I travel to Las Vegas every few years. I considered Newport as well.
Thanks for your thoughts!
