Thanks for all of the replies and input — you all have been a great help. We purchased on Thursday and will rescind on Monday.
couple of follow-up questions for the group:
I am assuming that if I purchase a 7,000 pt annual platinum package at Ocean Oak on resale, I cannot increase the point value down the road; I would have to purchase another TS somewhere for more points (and pick one with low MF). All points would combine, but I would own multiple TS. Is this correct ? Or is there another way to simply purchase points for the resale TS I purchase ?
(I.e. my understanding is the main advantage of buying direct from HGVC is you can increase your points — albeit at an exhorbitant rate— without buying another timeshare. Is that the main reason to “buy-in” like I originally did?)
I may have more questions — but this has been a great learning experience. Thanks again for all the help.
When you purchase another HGVC deed, as long as they are deeded the same, the points go into the same account. The only issue with your situation is that only your Ocean Oak points can be used for the home booking advantage. You can’t book a home season Ocean Oak reservation with points from another resort.
As far as buying more points, HGVC will allow you to “trade in” your current deed for a better one. One with more points, a better MF rate or even a more popular resort. You aren’t buying more points, you are buying a new, more expensive deed with more points attached while trading in your current deed. Owning 2 deeds doesn’t cost more, it’s just a combination of the points.
