1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where?
Orlando / Hawaii / Caribbean - one of these each year rotating through. Interested in access to European vacations (maybe every 5 or so years)
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?
Appox. 1/2 the time
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
Orlando / Maui / Atlantis / St. Johns / ?
4) How many people do you usually travel with?
4 (two adults / two children)
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?
Flexible, but prefer to limit time kids miss school.
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
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars?
3 to 5
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
$10 - $13K
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+
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
Additional Information - I'm a longtime SPG member with lifetime Gold and approaching lifetime Platinum. I like the Vistana Network (bought from developer, in process of recinding), but open to others if it makes sense. Would like to leverage my Platinum status if there are advantages and overall a fan of Starwood properties (and now Marriott). I like the idea of a points system and access to purchasing discounted weeks at low rates (i.e. Getaways on Interval International).
Thanks in advance. Glad to have found this forum.
