Hi, all.
I’m pretty new in these forums so please tell me if this is in the wrong place for my post. I’m looking for some insight from seasoned TS people. I commented earlier tonight on a thread from 2010, but I wasn’t sure if that would bump it so people would see it or not, so I figured I’d try here too:
I’m looking to purchase and I’ve spent quite a bit of time researching, but because we want Ocean Blvd in value season (September) I have no idea if a 10 month booking window will be fine to just get the lowest MF on the market, or if I will really need to get a deed at Myrtle Beach/CWA to be able to have the 13 APR... if 10 months is a fine booking window for Ocean Blvd or the grove in value season, then I will get the lowest MF I can find (so far Bali for $4.3), but if I need the 13 APR then I have to look for the lowest Myrtle Beach there is or an basic CWA. I’m still new, and still learning, but I’ve seriously studied this stuff for hours and hours on end to learn everything I can before I purchase. The attached picture is currently what I’m juggling for options, anything with a MF higher than CWA gets chucked. I know we need at least 250/300k points for our travel needs; 120k of which is specifically for Myrtle Beach in September.
Before you tell me I should look at renting, we vacation 4 or so times a year, I have one year mapped out if I were to own 200k points, and I got 4 good vacations from it on our schedules with some off season and some high. We will use this for the next 20 or so years, so I’m positive owning is for us. We will maximize it, buy more later, and maximize it some more.
Before you tell me to look at other resort systems because I’m new; I did. I looked at several and hard compared the two I liked best. Wyndham won out for resale purposes and the amount of resorts in a driving distance from me. I have spreadsheets for days.
I’ve also read just about 100 TUG posts and thousands of comments on all of them. I came prepared.
So with all that said, can anyone chime in? I’ve been in my own head with all this, and even reading every TUG postthat I can, it’s a lot of information to sort out
