Glad I found this thread! I’m still in my recission period. I actually discussed resale with my sales guy, and he said that all you get when you buy resale is the deeded week at the home resort — so if you buy Flamingo week 32, that’s all you’re entitled to with a resale deed.
I signed on because I’m an avid (and flexible) traveler and I wanted to be able to add bigger family trips to the agenda, so the RCI point exchange was a huge draw. I got 7,000 odd year points, with 17,000 signup bonus points, for $25k.
Obviously I can get comparable points for cheaper, but I just want to verify before I rescind that you resale owners have successfully traded into RCI, rolled over points, banked them into HHonors, etc. — literally everything I was sold, except for the Elite Status thing?
I know I know, the salesman’s lips were moving, but I also verified those limitations with the very knowledgeable-seeming supervisor of customer service who I chatted with at contract time, and he said that yes all you get with a resale deed is what’s on the deed, the rest of the system is cut off to you. So I want to make reeeeally sure he’s wrong before I rescind.
