Need advice on merging points

[lauradallolio]

We have a 8,000 points in Vegas on the BLVD and 9,920 points in Hawaii at Kingsland... we want to get just one single point package to avoid the double maintenance fees... what's the best way to do this? They tried to sell us on Max last time we did an owner update, but I don't know if thats worth it. Has anyone had them allow a straight crossover to another property without costing a ton of money? Any help/advice appreciated!

No, TS salespeople are only in it to make money. They aren't looking out for your best interests. Your best option, if you want 1 MF, is to dump both properties and buy a resale with enough pts and a good MF/point ratio this time.

What are your 2026 Maintenance fees for each deed, not including Club Dues?

I agree with @GT75 , sell what you have and buy a single high point deed. It took me about a year to find a good price of my King's Land contract. After selling the two EOY contracts I owned the net cost was about $10k.

$1400 for one, $1800 for the other

They are right around $.18/per point in MF, which is a bit high, but not the highest you could have. You would likely get nothing or very little in return offloading them to a buyer. If that is the case you would have to take a look at how much a new Resale deed would cost you and how much you would save in MF's each year to determine a breakeven point. Don't forget to add the Hilton fees to add and activate.

To put it into perspective, my average MF per point last year was around $.115. I have two really low cost deeds and two that are higher but still lower than the two you own. My two lowest are a EOY Kings Land 1BR deed that comes with 20,160 and an EY Elara 1BR that has 11,200. They are both around $.09/point and cost me around $5000 each about five years ago. If you could find one of those you would save about $800 per year for every 10,000 points in the contract. I would guess about a 3-5 year breakeven point, so it really comes down to how long you expect to own.

I haven't looked at resale prices in awhile, buy have to imagine they haven't changed significantly. A deed similar to the ones I have may or may not be hard to find, but you also have to figure out a path to off load the ones you own, if that is the path you decide to take.

YMMV
