Resort converting to points (by KC):

I have obtained the phone number of Inn Seasons "Falls at Ogunquit" facility from the II directory and I am going to try to get more info. What you are describing (the "you must now pay us again for what you already own" part, anyhow) actually sounds bordeline illegal to me and I'd like to try to personally investigate it further. I might be mistaken, but I simply cannot believe that you could actually be forced to "re-buy" that which you ALREADY OWN because of their (not your) decision to unilaterally adopt an obscure, "in house" points system, in effect forcing you to buy your timeshare TWICE. It sounds like nothing more than a contrived "revenue raising" scheme to me. It certainly doesn't seem right --- it may not even be legal.

Update: I called there at 10:15 a.m. EST today. Sales office is reportedly closed until Thursday (always closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays, supposedly). I've got lots of clear, specific and pointed questions for their "sales team". We'll see if they have any equally clear and specific answers (or if they will even talk to me at all).
