Are there benefit disadvantages to buying resale? (by Dale A.):
I own a share at Welk Resorts bought on craigslist. Every time we visit the resort (about 3 times a year) we are given bait to attend the resort updates. We usually do it after refusing a few times. Now they have flagged our membership so they know before we show up. This last time they had the Sales Manager Hero tell us how silly it is for us to keep coming in because as a resale buyer we don't qualify for certain benefits and that we don't get the VIP treatment when seeking reservations. Basically told us we wasted our money since they know we bought resale and that we have been flagged. . The Welk sales office seems to be detached from the resort and I have the feeling they just blow smoke. Are there benefit disadvantages to buying resale?
