Re: New to the ownership (by Den):

Patricia,

I do not think that buying a timeshare (points or a week) right now would do you any good this year. I suggest that you rent a week on Redweek for this year and look very hard at timeshare before you buy. You may find that renting a timeshare offers you more flexibility to get what you want than any timeshare or point ownership.

You also asked what "Platinum" meant with respect to timeshare weeks. This was Marriott's designation of weeks in the best season for each resort. These weeks have a higher demand and cost more than low demand weeks.

I suggest that you look for a good book or article about the pros and cons of timeshare ownership on the internet. A salesperson is not the right source for this kind of information.
