We recently did our presentation/ owner update and learned how amazing MAX is and how shady DRI was according to our presenter.
I have read many threads regarding people who switched and those who didn't along with their reasons.
We had not done a presentation since 2014 and had a note that our point price was locked in until our next presentation. We had the option to buy 12k more points at a little under 4.00 and join HGV Max.
We have been a bit unhappy with our current 5000 pnts a year. We usually stay at the Kaanapali Beach Club every other year and have an odd number of points. We haven't done much with banking or utilizing interval exchange etc. Our main thing is we can never get 2 rooms if we want to bring family or kids get older.
We jumped on buying 12k more points and joining MAX with 17k total points and a yearly maintenance of 3600.
We currently pay 1500 a year for 5k.
We are not sure we're comfortable locked into 3600 a year forever so are looking to go back today and buy less points. We are currently thinking 3500 so we have an ocean front 1 time per year at 8500 or save the points and get 2 rooms the following year. We even thought about only buying 1500 more to get a scenic view every year.
We would love input on any all aspects of this. Would it make sense to upgrade to 1500 or 3500 so we can get 1 week a year and potentially more options. It sounds like our club dues go away. 17000 HHV is 3600 a year and we pay 1500 for 5k dri now.
Is it better to stay put in DRI with our limited points. Presenter sounded like dues for DRI climb faster than HGV.
Was buying 12k points a good thing and we should keep them?
As I said we have a meeting today to decide to remind or modify.
Any thoughts / Insights on our situation would be greatly appreciated!
