Starpoint Resort Group...Any Good?

[Decon]

Greetings!
I just attended one of these Starpoint Resorts Group, GeoHoliday Time/Point share seminars in Mesquite, Nevada. It seems like a good deal. I bought in on the Trial membership for 3 years. I was offered 10,000 points/year and 30,000 points "get ya started" bonus that must be used in the first two years. They also threw in a free 8 day/7 night cruise. After 3 years I can roll to a 12,000+ or 18,000+ package. The cost to me was 3000.00/3 years + 499.00 contract fee and 303.71 yearly maintenance fee for each of the 3 years. For a total cost of $4,410.13. They told me that 10,000 points would be equal to "about" a week most any where in the USA. They said 91% of the time I would get what I wanted except over the big holidays. They said I could transfer points to anyone over 21 and pass this package along in my will. They explained the RCI thing as if I stayed in an RCI property I would pay 149.00/week for a single bedroom.

How am I doing here? Seems I am reading more bad than good on the internet. I still have 3 days to cancel....Nevada State Law.

Thanks,
Decon

All deals from any developer out there is available next week or next month. DO NOT BUY NOW!! Recind now while you can.

About your deal:

I really can't comment on the Geoholiday company, although I did look at their list of resorts and like what I saw.

Three words of caution.
-Generally the trail memberships are not a good deal. Not only are you buying at an inflated price but you're only buying a trail memebership, so if you don't like it there is nothing to sell.
-The whole think that Geoholiday is trying to sell with their additional benifits of RCI vacations is available with any RCI associated TS in the world not just Geoholiday.
- I love TS and am the happy owner of 4 weeks a year. There are many great TS deals out there for you. I'd spend some time reading here on TUG, look at several different TS options and buy the one that best for you.

As a fellow North-Westerner, I look first into Worldmark. They have more resorts than GeoHolidays and most of there resorts are in the west. It can be purchased for about $5,000 for a week (6000-7000 pts) every year and if you don't like it you can sell for about what you paid. I think that is a much better deal than a trail membership for $4400.

Good Luck
