Sunterra UDI Points: How do I get rid of them?

[AwayWeGo]

Same Here.

Two floating weeks a year work just fine and we didn't see any advantage for us whatsoever to convert to points and losing the deeds for both weeks and having to pay $5K for the alleged advantage.

After scanning a few posts and getting even more confused about points believe we made the correct decision.

Next time I'll avoid the points scam at Sunterra. They can keep their $150 and worthless "free" gift.

That's pretty much how Club SunTerra shakes out for us, too. You just happened to express it -- most of it, anyway -- more politely than I've been able to manage.

BTW, I don't recall ever being offered as much as $150 in SunTerra sales pitch inducements -- more like breakfast plus $75 or so, I think.

I don't think it's a scam, despite what Alan believes, and he doesn't own any. You don't necessarily have to give up your deeds, you can give Diamond the right to use your time in exchange for an annual allotment of points or you can cash in your deeds for the Hawaii Trust.

Your decision is just fine, if you're a died in the wool Hawaii goer, it's probably just as well to leave the status quo!

Hey, I didn't say it's a scam.

Kauai Kid said it's a scam.

Let's give credit where credit is due.

Sheesh.

The key. You are giving up your deeds. Never a good idea IMO.

This pretty much looks like a what you said.

I agree - but remember you don't have to do that. A 'regular' SunTerra membership can serve pretty well - provided you amass enough SunOptions to give you the flexibility to go where you want to go. I know we (and our children) get about 5+ weeks out of our membership every year.

Well -- Not...Just...Exactly.

This pretty much looks like a what you said.

Maybe, partly -- except for the scam part.

That looks more like what Kauai Kid said.

So it goes.
