I am considering buying a small contract at Massanutten and want to verify or understand a few things:
1. Resale owners no longer get gold card for discounts.
2. The one in four rule only applies to exchanges not last call or extra vacations.
3. The one in four rule for exchanges is resort specific (e.g. You could do Woodstone one year and Summi the next).
4. If you own you get a discount on RCI last call and extra vacations.
5. While gold card no longer applies, resale owners still get discounts on hotel and other lodging.
My intent is to spend about a month or two during summer on RCI last call and extra vacations understanding I might suffer an availability gap on a given week. I will generally only need a 1br and there always seems to be one somewhere.
This plan assumes #2 is true. My intended purchase of small resale contract assumes #2 and #4 is true because a small contract of, say $400mf a year would be offset by 8 weeks of a 20% discount on last call (last data I had looked to be a 22% discount but that was back in 2006 thread).
If anyone has some or all of the answers and advice, please chime in.
Also, one of the resales im looking at us a 4br white 10-19 and 45 to 50) in the theory that if I planned two years ahead I ought to be able to get Thanksgiving week, or weeks 18-19 in May but I have no clue if this is remotely possible.
