Just a thought - Points purchasers need to consider the difference between what is being sold and what they will get. For example, we are sold points, a currency, with the understanding that we can acquire days at virtually any resort in any season or we can spend the points on packaged vacations (like you might acquire on the street). Further, the purchaser needs to realize that the use of points, the currency, is restricted to the purchase of a good but limited inventory of vacation days and that points do expire (forced use). The question then is can Vacation Club deliver what you want, when you want it, and do you want to limit your purchases to "what Vacation Club can deliver." Second thought - Vacation Club needs week inventory deposits from legacy week owners because Trust week ownership is small in relation to total owned weeks. Remember, the Trust started out with unsold inventory, good or less good, from the old week sales program. Examples from a California disclosure document: the trust owned 16% of Hawaiian properties, but almost half of these weeks were at Ko Olina Beach Club. The trust owned over 30% of Willow Ridge in Branson but less than 5% of Myrtle Beach & Hilton Head.
