New member here. Had a close shave with purchasing 3500pt EOY Studio at Sunrise Lodge for $18k with 9000 bonus points (don't know what period, but guessing bronze).
Fortunately I discovered TUG after the fact and submitted my rescind notice. Sent by fax (1st version not signed, 2nd version was) and by registered mail. Waiting to see what happens, but I did get my fax/mail done by day 5.
I am investigating a potential resale purchase. I am considering Hawaii, and I've narrowed it down to either HHV Lagoon Tower or Kings Land. We visited both areas last year on a vacation to Hawaii, although we did not stay at the HGVC properties.
I am looking for a 2 br annual platinum with somewhere between 7k - 14k points. If I go for 14k points, would consider renting out the 2nd week.
I also want to consider longer term resale (in 10 - 15 years time). I would ideally like to get my initial entry cost back. Not looking to make a profit on this though.
Ideally we would love to get a timeshare in Maui, but HGVC does not have a property on that island.
HHV has the benefit of being on the beach and is pretty much always in demand - which is leading me toward purchasing at HHV.
However I typically would not want to spend 7 days at a time at HHV. 2 - 3 days is enough. I would prefer to spend the rest at Kings Land.
But I do want the option to spend the week between Xmas and New Year at Hawaii on a regular basis. Buying into HHV with platinum gives me a better chance to get time at Oahu.
But there is my conundrum. Probably would not want the full 7 days at Oahu, and would like to split it with time in Kings Land.
I gather there are no "official" means of accommodating this through the HGVC program, as booking during the platinum weeks means booking the whole week.
Are there any "unofficial" options? Would other TUGers be willing to swap a partial platinum week between Kings Land and HHV?
I could buy into Kings Land instead of HHV and get my platinum week there. Not sure if there would be any takers willing to trade a few days of Kings Land for HHV?
I also don't know if I would get my initial purchase cost back in 10 - 15 years on a resale of Kings Land. It is not on the beach and does not have the "appeal" or demand of Oahu.
Looking for any advice from long term TUGers, HGVC owners, and especially those who frequent Hawaii.
