They are offering a guaranteed buyback but you have to upgrade.

I don't understand your proposed transaction but as a general principle I'm not keen on adding costs in order to divest...George

I would definitely want to see that in a contract before I bought anything.

I assume this is from the developer - Spinnaker .

i am aware from TUG of the Raintree TS organization offering a similar type of program about 5+ years ago.
The original ownership was RTU expiring in 2046. The offer was to allow the ownership to end sooner by
accelerated usage.

1)- It required a payment.
2)- It allowed an earlier end of ownership.
3)- it appealed to owners who liked the resorts and would vacation more but were interested in a limited
time frame of future ownership.

I believe @T_R_Oglodyte could add details.

Obviously the Spinnaker offer may differ in some details - but it could make sense if your
usage plans in the next 10 years fits the offer.

For them -
1) - they get some cash flow now
2)- they keep you as a happy owner
3)- your future obligation is 15 MF .

For you -
1) -It gives a guaranteed exit strategy
2) - It can give good vacations during a time frame that appeals to you.
3)- Your future obligation is 15 MF

IF - this interests you . I would ask if they would allow some sort of added flexibility or acceleration of usage.
(ie) use 3 weeks one year by paying ahead. I would also review the MF increases over the last 10 years.

As @Shankilicious says - the details in the contract will determine whether this is a good program FOR YOU.

It's a way to give back the timeshare . You still have to pay transfer fees.

The way I read it you are paying $5,000 + either 5 or 10 MFs to get out of what you currently own. That comes to $1,000 + MFs for either 5 or 10 years depending how they collect them. If you use your Week all 5 years this is the cost of your annual Week. If you are absolutely sure you will use the Week every other year, maybe. But knowing what you will do for the next 10 years is iffy... If you aren't sure you will use each of the 5 years , you are throwing good money after bad...If you decide to do this, get it in writing...

Note: You didn't say if you have a mortgage on your Week...
