Re: Sunterra timeshares

[Q=mike1536] [Q=amyr8] We purchased a week from a private party at Sunterra The Ridge at Sedona Golf Resort. It is a beautiful resort and we enjoy going there but wanted a change so tried to deposit our week with Interval International since we have a gold membership with other timeshare we own. We were told that II could not accept the deposit directly from us because we owned a "week" and did not participate in the point system. The point system did not even exist when the original owner bought it. We have no intention of paying more money to use a week we already paid for and don't understand how Sunterra has control over our week. ========= I'm an II member and an RCI points memeber, I don't feel either system is any more "complicated" than booking exchanges through the "Sunterra" system. The only feature I do not like (and do not use) is RCI's deposit first system. Last year I went to a Sunterra presentation and their point system peaked my interest, but I wasn't about to spend over $14000 and several hundred dollars/year maintenance fees for the number of points that were being alloted. Have a great weekend[/Q] +++++++++++++++++
