Re: Secondary market vs purchase from developer (by Dan D.):

Great Question. We sat through the sales pitch, and became "SPG Explorers", paying about $3000 to get 50K points, and a return week (just have to sit through another presentation.) I really like the points, and the fact that we can convert the timeshare to points to use at other facilities around the world. I understand that you can't do that with a re-sale, however your point about the extra cost is well taken - Can't wait to hear others experiences...
