Re: RedWeek.com May E-mail Newsletter Q&A: Second Market Timeshare Owners (by Paul J.):
I bought directly from Wyndham in Myrtle Beach and was told that secondary buyers do not get the same priority with regard to getting units on the oceanfront. They claim it depends on points and your original deed. I have never received proof if this is true. Smuggler's Notch in Vermont has told me that the activites package (includes lift tickets and kids camp) can only be purchased with original sales, not in secondary market sales. Not sure how Wyndham will handle this now that Smugglers is a Wyndham resort.
