Description of Shell Owners Club – West: The Shell Owners Club – West is a Points – based club with units in the following resorts: The Donatello – San Francisco, California; Inn at the Opera – San Francisco, California; The Suites at Fisherman’s Wharf – San Francisco, California; Peacock Suites – Anaheim, California; Vino Bello Resort® – Napa, California; Desert Rose Resort® – Las Vegas, Nevada; Whispering Woods Resort – Welches, Oregon

Description of Shell Vacations Club: In addition to the resorts within the Home Club, all members in the Home Club also are automatically members in the Shell Vacations Club, an exchange and reservation system. Through Shell Vacations Club, you may also make reservations in other resorts affiliated with the Shell Vacations Club including resorts in California, Oregon, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, New Hampshire, Texas, Wisconsin, Canada and Mexico. With the convenience of SVC Points, you have the flexibility to choose when and where you want to travel at over 1.3 million benefits such as accommodations, cruises, golf, skiing, dining, safaris, amusement parks and spas. In addition, Shell Vacations Club members enjoy exchange privileges to RCI’s 4,600 resorts worldwide. In addition to SVC’s affiliated resorts, SVC Points purchased from a non-SVC sales center can be used for benefits from the SVC Collections program, SVC Premium Perks and RCI® Exchanges.

SVC Collections: SVC Collections are vacation opportunities that provide an exceptional array of experiential vacations such as accommodations at select hotels and resorts; international destinations; full-service travel options including air, cruise and car rentals and exciting activities ranging from safaris to catamarans.

SVC Premium Perks offer members a variety of value-added benefits including the SVC VISA® Card, SVC Travel Protection & Assistance and the SVC Discount Program.

RCI® Membership: Shell Vacations Club members enjoy exchange privileges to RCI’s 4,500 resorts worldwide. SVC’s Club Dues includes an annual access with RCI.

IMPORTANT: THE POINTS SOLD WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR USE BY THE PURCHASER IN EITHER THE SVCLifeStyles OR SVC ELITE® PROGRAMS.

Home Club Reservation Period: Ownership in the Shell Owners Club provides a priority reservation period 365 (about a year) until 277 (about 9 months) into any resort within the owned Home Club. A minimum of 7 consecutive nights can be reserved.

Access to all SVC Resorts & Affiliated Resorts: A request for any other Shell Vacations Club resort may be made at 276 (about 9 months) days with a minimum night stay of 2 nights.

YOUR TOTAL DUE WILL BE: 6 Months Reimbursement of Annual Fees ($336.52) + Resort Transfer Fee of $275 + Jan 2010 through March 2010 Fees ($193.77).

You may use any licensed escrow company to handle the transaction at your own cost (approx $300-$400). I can provide you with some companies I've worked with in the past successfully if you request. Alternatively, you can pay the entire amount due up front and SVC will handle the transfer within their $275 fee. A non-refundable $200 deposit is due within 3 days of auction close and payable via Paypal if you choose to use an escrow company and the balance of funds required will be deposited in escrow and managed by them. Your annual fees are due in January yearly (or you may pay monthly through SVC for an additional fee of $6 I believe but please verify with SVC directly if interested about alternate payment options). You are responsible for the annual fees due January 2010 and onwards in addition to the reimbursement of the 2009 fees related to your use points paid to date. Upon transfer you will receive all 2,550 2009 use points. The banking deadline for these points is March 1, 2010.
