Thank you for the reply. Can you explain how what you have and what we have is different specifically membership?
I own a fixed summer week at Grand Pacific Palisades (GPP). Marbrisa, Seapointe and GPP were all Grand Pacific Resorts. Marbrisa entered into a relationship with HGVC is now managed by HGVC. Seapointe and GPP are affiliated with HGVC but managed by Grand Pacific Resorts. While there may be some old true Grand Pacific Marbrisa weeks that are not part of HGVC all current retail sales include HGVC membership as part of the sale and HGVC transfers on resale.
I purchased my Grand Pacific Palisades week from Grand Pacific's resale department. At that time they could add HGVC membership to the sale. These were significantly cheaper than HGVC retail. My fixed week is guaranteed and in fact I don't have to reserve it. If I wish to use the HGVC points instead I just make a call and 8400 points are transferred to my HGVC account.
It is my understanding that you can no longer purchase Seapointe and GPP resale weeks from the resale department at Grand Pacific as HGVC has assumed all sales. In addition, the rules were changed in that existing Seapointe and GPP owners that had a HGVC membership will not be able to transfer that membership upon resale. I believe that HGVC has essentially taken all Seapointe and GPP resales away from Grand Pacific. Because of all this you will no longer find a Seapointe or GPP resale with HGVC membership.
My family has enjoyed GPP so much we haven't exchanged the week for HGVC points since I purchased it in 2012. It is nice to know though that I have that option once the kids are older and Legoland no longer has their interest.
