I found a mandatory resale but can't figure out whether it's a good deal.
I'll get a Platinum week, 44,000 StarOptions annually, for $850 maintenance fees but have no/low intention in staying at my home resort. My end goal is to bank two years worth of points (44,000 x 2) plus my existing ownership (67,100 x 2) to redeem in Maui for an oceanfront two bedroom villa (176,700 and then some).
I'm trying to minimize my upfront fees which rules out buying into WKORV/N and I'm ok booking 8 months in advance. I considered a Westin Kierland resale but recent listings have fewer StarOptions per year (25,800-37,000).
Is this a good deal? I know it'll be another mess if I ever want to book Marriott vacation club properties.
I appreciate any feedback and/or a nudge in the right direction. Thanks to the community for the wisdom you're sharing.
