1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where? I'd like to get a week at the beach (preferably east coast) in early-mid august or late June/early July and I'd like to get a ski week either around Christmas or first week in Jan (preferably out west)
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time? Probably trade but its all about what is the most cost-effective
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations? Outer Banks, Hilton Head, Utah (ski), Colorado (ski), Hawaii, Disneyworld/land
4) How many people do you usually travel with - total, including yourself? 5 (two small kids, two adults, 1 grandmother)
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule? School schedule
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance? Yes
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time? Yes
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars? 3 is fine by me
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing? If I can find the right value, up to $50K
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year? $5K
11) Are you a detail oriented planner? Yes very much
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do? Yes
Other info about me, I am big into the hotel/airline points game and signing up for credit cards to get points/bonuses so it feels like my travel is "free". I look at the timeshare exchange game as similar and would be the type of person planning trips years in advance and being online at 2AM or whenever to get first crack at bookings. My biggest concerns are if I bought a tradeable unit - the fees and having a general idea of availability within the school schedule.
