They told me this week that buy back can only be done on developer purchases. Requal weeks (or resale) are not eligible. New policy. Also, New money requirement is $30k minimum to get the deal.........

We were only offered buy back of our developer week. They tried to ignore our resale week. This was a few days ago.

HPP, Sheraton Flex.
A few years ago, I sold my EOY SMV Summer (2B L/O 81,000) to get Sheraton Flex EY. Considering the MFs at SMV (ski location) it seemed like a smart move to me. And since SMV is now part of Flex (it wasn't at the time), it seems like an even better move.
And yes, we like SMV.

This was of course told to you at a sales presentation/owner update?

Westin KORVN and Lagunamar
They offer to buy back our Lagunamar at cost ($16K) every time we go for an update. Most recently it was as part exchange for Flex options or when I baulked at that they offered to take it as part exchange for a WKORVN 2BR IV ($49K-$16K). I was almost tempted until I came to my senses and realized I could keep Lagunamar, buy the WKORVN 2BR IV resale and still be $20K+ to the good :)
