Re: Resort West new points system - good deal for owners???????>? (by Don W.):
There appears to be some misinformation in this discussion. I did convert from owner to points. The maintenance fees are 21 1/2 cents per point per year. Yes that is high, but I like to exchange my points with II and one of the benefits is no exchange fee - it is included in the maintenance fees. I owned in the Cascade building and always wondered what the other building were like. I just recently spent a week in the Tower and loved it and looking forward to a week in the Neagle sometime soon. In addition, with the point system you can book a week for a lot less points and trade it with II to get multiple weeks some where else. In addition, the cost to convert is now over $4,000 - so unless you want to visit other building and trade a lot this might not be for you, but for us we think it has worked out very well. Good luck.
