At an update this morning, I was told that points acquired through a resale purchase, when used to make a reservation, are charged reservation fee and housekeeping credits, even if VIP and has unlimited housekeeping credits and reservations.
So I asked if this is true, then when making a reservation, can I say which points I want to use, so if booking a two week stay, I would use resale points, and have to pay $19, and housekeeping credits, and when booking a short stay, I would use my "real" points so as to avoid reservation fee and housekeeping credits? The salesman said yes, that was true.
I don't own resale yet, but have been watching several, and want to buy.
From what I've read here, the only real difference is that resale points can't get you to next VIP level, but are treated the same as VIP level you are already on.
And he said resale is a different bucket of points and that I can choose which bucket to take from when I make a reservation.
This is all false, correct??!!
And finally tried to sell me 105,000 points for $22k (an "excellent deal", or so he said), to give me better visibility and to get all my points into a "good bucket", power deed!
