Hello
I have just begun my 10 day review period for an every ODD year "fixed/float" week 49 "platinum" Westin St John building 34 1 bedroom, 2 baths, TOP floor with balcony.
I paid SVO Direct pricing (as on the most recent Non Owner pricing sheet dated Dec. 15th). I was given 50,000 SPG's (vs. the 40K that is lited on the sheet). Should I cancel, and review after-market VOI's for sale?
I already see one advertised that seems to be an extremely comparable unit/bldg, but is ANNUAL (vs every odd year) and is 35% less expensive. Same property, same (or very similar) building/unit, same "platinum" rating week (though a different time of the year). Would I really be getting *much* more for *much* less if I cancelled and bought the resale? Or does the SVO Direct purchase I am reviewing seem like a decent deal/entry point into the VOI market? Would I have to pay any extra fees to join SVN if I purchased post-market? I had no idea the post-market resales were so abundant. I looked around on TUG, but did not JOIN until today, which gave me more access to more info.
Thanks! My inclination is to cancel, though that's assuming that the listing I found is a good, solid listing (no liens, and that there are no hidden problems that I'd have to face purchasing resale)
