Greetings and happy holidays. I currently own HGVC @ W57th, Elara, and Ocean Tower (Hawaii) and have approx. 14k points in the system. I wish to purchase more timeshare points and am not beholden to any particular developer. My goal is to be able to vacation in NYC or Puerto Rico for 2-4 weeks a year. My ownership @ W57th affords me one week and the remaining points would cover a second. However, they do not necessarily provide opportunities to vacation in Puerto Rico. They also aren't enough to get me to four weeks in NYC. For additional context, I own other timeshares (El Cid, Diamante/Tafer) that provide access to Interval International. However, I rarely make deposits to Interval and use it mainly for Getaways and the certificates they offer.
Initially, I thought that purchasing Club Wyndham points to cover 2-4 weeks of vacationing would do the trick. I would seek to purchase a resale contract @ Midtown 45 which gives me the expanded booking window and has Rio Mar in the portfolio. I figured somewhere around 700k points would do the trick.
I then decided to state my plan here to gain from the knowledge and experience of you wonderful folks to help me decide. Perhaps this is the best course of action; but perhaps there is a better option. I come to you seeking advice on how to pull off my goal in the most effective manner. I wish to vacation in NYC or Puerto Rico for at least a month annually, with the flexibility of choosing both (for shorter stays) in any given year or none and having other great options to use my ownership.
I await your words of encouragement and wisdom!
