1) Where do you want your home resort to be?
We own at Vistana Villages, bought 44000 staroptions from developer(before we found tug)EOY. Have 1 week banked in II now, so confused about how to use this. Anyway, we like the idea of traveling to Disney EOY(wish I would have known Disney VC was part of RCI). Just came back from owners update and I wanted to kick everyone of them in the balls. Basically told me I may not be able to book travel if I dont upgrade. I told them to take their blankety blank and shove it up their ass. I feel like I already threw away an initial investment. Anyway, I probably would have converted to flex if they had only hit me up for 5-6k more but they hit up for 17k more(I was pissed). I asked what the fewest amount of flex points I had to buy to convert my options and they never gave me a answer. So, here I am.
Home resort... Destin, Orlando, Hilton Head, Gaitlinburgh... we live in GA and love to travel so anyplace that is 3 Star and above. We have young kids.
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time?
Maybe but not necessarily and we already own 44,000 EOY at Vistana Villages
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
Curious why trade and not points? I am assuming you are asking where we would like to travel outside of our home resort. 1. Hawaii, 2. N.Y., NY 3. California 4. Virgin Islands 5. New Zealand
4) How many people do you usually travel with?
4
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?
wife is an assistant principal, so school schedule. Need enough points to book during Thanksgiving week, December 18 through the 1st week in January, or last week of March 1st week in April. We take a week vacation in Fernandina Beach every summer... so summer is covered.
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance?
yes
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time?
yes but would like options for short stays as well
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars?
3 star and up
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
10k
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year?
2000, but would prefer as low as possible.
11) Are you a detail oriented planner?
yes
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do?
yes
