That t

thats for resale points correct? Deeded weeks in other resorts are different. So if you buy a deeded week at Aruba ocean club I think it costs 3K to enroll that week into DP? Or is that just the fee for current owners grandfathered in on resales and developer purchases?
I don't know the answer to that. I was only interested in points. I seem to recall that "enrolling" refers to placing your grandfathered unit into the Points system. Is it possible that it is a different fee from "Activation" which applies at the time of resale?? If you are looking at MVC I would clear this question up because from what I found the Activation fee is very substantial, and negatively impacts both the seller and buyer. By the way, the activation fee at HGVC is somewhere around $700. It has been over a year since I closed the book on my research into MVC, so take what I am saying as a clue that needs further research

Good to know. I think I’ll stick with Vistana since exchanging gets some priority in MVC as well, plus i can book other resorts at 8 months.

These are brokers most recommended for HGVC:
www.judikoz.com
www.sellingtimeshares.net
www.timesharebrokersales.com

BTW, HGVC treats resale owners well.
You get the same perks+benefits as retail owners...
Except only:
1. The points won't count toward elite status (14k plus).
-- Not worth paying retail to get.
b. You may not be invited to "owner updates." (Lucky duck)
-- Goodies for these sales sessions are not worth the time.

Agree with the rest. This, while stated as a truth, is jsut an opinion. We have gotten offers well worth our time. Things like $149/night stays in New York plus $200 for 15 minutes of our time. Each person can decide the worth. Oh, and we're resale :)

Cheers.

I think resale owners getting invited depends on a couple of factors, first being location. Places like Vegas seem to offer everybody while high seasons in high demand locations will be pickier. Resale owners are less likely to buy than retail owners. Salesman want the best chance to sell. If they have many victims . . . errrrr potential buyers that don’t know the value of resale, why would they have someone who knows the value take the place of someone who would be much more apt to buy. In lower seasons or less demand locations (Vegas/ Orlando) they would rather give a go at a resale owner than sit there without a chance at a sale.

In late June (with 100% occupancy), I was at Ocean 22. I asked to not be bothered by sales calls. They were giving “tours” of Ocean Enclave as an in to a sales presentation. My guess is that even if I wanted to, I would have been declined. In January I’m sure they would have been more aggressive in their pursuit of my time. I still would have said no. My time can be bought, but what’s reported here as the “gifts” would never be enough to waste 90 minutes of my vacation.
