Anyone know what it would cost to upgrade Premier Studio to points @ Villa del Palmar?
Thanks for the inform-have been members for 20 years and have 2 weeks in 1BR unit. Also have 2 weeks in a studio family growing and need bigger unit. Is it possible to turn studios into bigger units? Have 6 weeks to use.Why would you want to upgrade to points which can only be bought through UVCI ? It would be better to buy a resale gold membership. The gold mf is lower and can be sold resale. Points revert to a premiere membership with a PV home resort when sold resale.
The cost to upgrade depends on how many points you buy. Last presentation I went to they wanted about $16,000 to upgrade my one bedroom premiere. There was five years left on the premiere contract.
Bob's is right about the process. If you really want points you can negotiate the price. They give a subjective value for your contract which in reality is zero but to UVCI it might be $15,000 +. They valued three of my contracts at $65,000, lol. They valued theirs at $130,000, lmao.

Is it possible to call the resort about a upgrade before check in?Occasionally, we upgrade a two bed unit and a one bed unit for a penthouse or two one bed units and money for a penthouse. These are all premiere contracts and the upgrades are through the developer inventory, not club inventory. Premiere contracts are not up-gradable in club inventory is what I think. The upgrade can be had at check in for a fee from the developer inventory.
I don't have any studios but my friend that has a studio gold contract often upgrades to a one bedroom. My other friend who has a gold one bedroom often takes two studios instead of the one bedroom and is charged about $500 for the switch.
UVCI resale contracts for winter months have kind of disappeared in the last few years.

Hi -
I know from recent update meetings that Villa Group's starting "list price" exceeds $30 per point. They're really stretching it ... using 50 right to use math et al. I also know from an upgrade transaction that we did they were really charging $12 per point - at least to an existing member doing an upgrade.

I am getting ready to upgrade my membership before the Villa/Garza split.
Should I be aiming to pay $12 per annual point? More or less?
As always, thanks for your knowledge!
1) What do your mean by the Villa/Garza split?
2) I think $12 a point is a reasonable guideline based on prior purchases...but, given the new 50 year sales horizon and the points inflation at the new resorts...YMMV.
Good luck. And be sure to come back and post about your experience and results.
Thx

I'm at home trying to upgrade before the Tafer/Villa split. Unaware at current beach condition. Join our Villa Owners Group on FB for up to date info!How's the sargassum on the beach?
