I own a couple of Aruba Surf & Ocean Club weeks, along with Grande Ocean in Hilton Head (all weeks are platinum season). All of these were purchased as "after market" direct from previous owners.
I am visiting Grande Ocean this week => today I received a call to schedule a session to hear about my opportunity to convert my weeks to points at no charge. Apparently this is a savings of upwards to $2,400 in which they are running some sort of promotion over the next 3 weeks or so.
(i) Not sure if I heard correctly, wondering if anyone else has heard of same recently?
(ii) My personal experience is that I generally use my Aruba/HH properties or share with friends & family. If I want to go to other properties, I have been able to secure very good deals on Redweek
(iii) Based on my usage patterns not sure what I am gaining if I enter Destination points?
(iv) Is there any down side to me converting to points ... I suspect that one needs to pay for the yearly of approx. $185+ (which I currently do not pay, as I have decided to not to enrol in Interval)? Apparently the person advised (during my phone conversation) that I can still book my platinum weeks ... with no change to reservation process or maintenance fees.
Appreciate thoughts/comments.
Cheers,
