Bought resell points at big cedar..

[lopertc]

I bought 28,000 wilderness lodge points for 1500$.
Reservations are extremely hard to get at 11 months.
can I upgrade to premier? If so is it a ridiculous price?

also considering just using my PUP’s as my resies.

(see those acronyms I’ve been reading the forum)

Good for you to have found resale.

Has it already passed ROFR?

It is not worth it to upgrade to any premier levels as the “premiere wait list” benefit is no longer a benefit. Prior to 8/4/21, the wait list was worked 1-2 days prior to the 11 month mark. THAT was a benefit!
Now, thanks to a lawsuit, anyone can get in at midnight and book a reservation as the wait list doesn’t start until midnight.

Do you have a “good” PUP? If so, use it.
If it is something you don’t want to use, then get online at 11:55 pm and keep refreshing your screen to get your reservation at midnight.

And reminder you can book bonus time online at 45 days out. You would be surprised at how much inventory is available the last 35 days before checkin.

Yeah it was complete yesterday. We spent 3000 points to go check out Elian spa in San Antonio for the kids spring break this March. They were 50% off points. It should be warm down there.
Yeah we have 3 weeks. One week is middle of June and is a fantastic pup. So that’s huge. The unit isn’t quite as big as I’d like but hey; that week along is worth my maintenance fees.

we will be a midnight warrior.
I’d like to thank all the advice here that allowed me to get a sweet deal on my points!

Mid June is great! Good for you.
Curious as to where you found your points to purchase. eBay, Facebook, redweek?

Believe it or not Dianne Lee at pinnacle.
I found their all in costs to be the cheapest. 1500 was my total cost for closing and everything and the points were fully stocked. So I essentially got the first year points at half price and paid nothing for the deed.
my annual maintenance is 3048$ish.
I looked at a dozen different sites even bid for some on PayPal

any recommended readings for the newbie? I’ve read a lot but I’m sure there’s more to learn.
