We have a DVC property and were thinking of adding on a Hilton or possibly a Marriott timeshare.
I've read through the link to the information for new owners, but that is a lot of info to comprehend. Can anyone help with a few questions?
1. The systems sound similar, but for DVC we didn't have a Gold/Platinum week element to our purchase. Just a resort and number of points. I understand that booking rooms during certain weeks can use more points, but how does the week play into purchasing points to begin with?
2. For DVC, besides looking into resorts near our home to purchase, we also looked into older/cheaper resorts since they cost less and had lower maintenance fees. This worked well since we were just basically looking for points to use elsewhere. Is Hilton similar? If so, where would be some resorts that we should look into for those cheaper points?
3. Any other tips or comparisons we should be aware of?
Thanks
