I would love some advice. Looking for HGVC points to stay in waikiki.
We are new to the timeshare world. just getting to learn about all of the crazy things in this world...
Came from a time share presentation for GI. They offered a discount for VIP and the unit we were considering was originally $60K, down to about $50K for gold season, GI 2br. 8700 points annual with $2002 total MF. They offered in final, 90K extra points to close the deal which would need to be used in the first two years.
Now looking for some resale options...
1. Should I purchase a home resort in hawaii? GI or GW. Lagoon? I understand the open season is 6m out. Is it difficult to find units if you are not booking in the home resort window for spring break time? first couple of weeks in april for instance? e.g 2br
2. If I don't need to buy a deed in hawaii, any recs for where to purchase? (i am getting the feeling lower price per point about $1 per point and low mfs .1 per point is what I should be looking for? in vegas?) I would think if it is easy to book in the open window, even for spring break times, it wouldn't matter where I get the points?
3. If I do have to deed in hawaii, Platinum or gold deed?
I am trying to understand how important it is to buy a platinum week vs a gold week.
4. Once a decision is made on where to buy and how much to buy, who should I buy from? Should I use a broker? If so, recommendations on who might be good?
Thank you!!!
