Hello Everyone - I'm glad I found this site and I was able to rescind my Villa Del Palmar Flamingos (Thank you!). I went to a presentation and fell in love with the resort in Villa Del Palmar Flamingos. My wife and I ended up purchasing a studio with 1200 points and additional 1200 pts for roughly around 16k. I was searching online for some reviews of the Villa Group resorts and saw TUG BBS. As I was reading a few thread, a lot of the members mentioned not to buy from developers but buy as resale that's what triggered me to rescind. Also, had bad experience in the past with purchasing Krystal Cancun (another story I can post one day). As I've been looking, I did see two Villa Del Palmar Flamingos 1 bedroom suite for sale and I'm ready to purchase one of them. Below are the details and perhaps would need some clarification and which of the two is better to purchase. An input would be wonderful.

I was reading one of the threads that Gold Membership can reserve any Villa Group resorts up to 24 months. If you are in the point system, you can reserve your own resort up to 24 months but the other resorts are 10 months. Is this true?
Also, I've read that points are not transferable, and if I purchase it will convert to premier? When I spoke with the buyer they asked about the points and they told them it is transferable. I'm confused, can someone please confirm how points works once the ownership transfer?
Which of the two is better deal? I know the Gold Membership expires in about 16 years vs 26 years.
As always, thank you everyone for your inputs. You have help me and so many TS folks!
