Re: New time share owner - want out! (by Annamaria M.):
Regarding buying from a developer: I have noticed that on the resale market you do not often get the benefit of the Vacation Points conversions. Our Hawaii timeshare (1 week a year) comes with the option of trading our week for 121,800 RCI points. That's a lot of points for vacations, airfare via their parnters, rental cars and other partner benefits. The only way I can resell our timeshare AND transfer the RCI points benefits to the new owner, is if the new owner assumes some portion of the original loan (which they can then pay off the next month if desired). Otherwise the points do not transfer and as far as I am concerned, the timeshare would only be worth 1/4 to 1/3 the original price.
