Aloha!
New member here, I have been browsing and really appreciate all the honest unbiased opinions!
We just had an amazing trip at Marriott Vacation Club in Lahaina, Maui! We booked the week second hand at a great rate. My wife and I have 6 kids and it was the first time in a long time we have been away alone, it was amazing but of course all we could do is think about how great a trip would be with all the kids. We would like to make the trip to Maui a yearly trip and are looking to see if MVC is something that will save $ over time vs purchasing second hand each trip.
Well...that got me thinking about a MVC points timeshare. Looking at redweek and other timeshare places I could not find a timeshare points resale that made sense without a large yearly maintenance fee. If it was just my wife and I some options would make sense, but as soon as you go to a large 2 bedroom unit those points become too expensive.
My question is the additional points and their cost, if we do 4K a year and we need 2k additional points for a trip that we do not have banked, what is the cost of those additional 2k points? Do you pay the cost of the room at Marriott’s standard room rate?
Any information (unbiased and honest) would be greatly appreciated!!
MAHALO! (You can tell we just got back from Hawaii!)
