Hello!
I've been a lurker on TUG for quite a while, and love all the wonderful advice! My godparents own through HGVC, and they took me on a number of wonderful vacations (Hawaii, Orlando, New York, etc.)
I'm interested in purchasing one myself (resale, of course). I see I can purchase an HGVC for $400, with an annual 4200 points and $700 maintenance fee out of Myrtle Beach.
My questions are:
1) I'm not interested in going to Myrtle Beach whatsoever. However, the points would allow me to go to destinations I am interested in (Hawaii, Vegas, New Zealand, etc.)?
2) Are 4200 points adequate? I looked up points needed for different destinations, and it seems like I could do quite a lot.
3) My understanding is that I can pay a $69 fee to rollover points, no strings attached.
4) Can just anybody book at their resorts in Thailand and New Zealand, provided they have enough points?
5) Is it hard to get into competitive resorts, if I book 9 mo in advance?
6) When I am done with it, how hard would it be to sell it for $1 on the resale market?
7) If you're a HGVC owner, how satisfied are you?
This appears to be an affordable way to vacation, and I really like the aspect where it would "force" me to take one each year. Please let me know your thoughts!
