Are there benefit disadvantages to buying resale? (by Tracey S.):
There are some perks for direct sale owners and sometimes even greater perks for those who have bought the highest level of membership or more than so many points. Sometimes they are things like an hour earlier check in or later check out, a newspaper, additional discounts on bonus time. For some these are important benefits. In most cases you would need to spend $20,000-$50,000 or even more than you spent and still your "ownership" would be almost worthless on the resale market. The job of sales is to make you feel like you "need" the perks of VIP and becoming willing to spend to make it happen.
You don't have to go to sales meetings but if you do and you have someone tell you it is silly to keep coming when you are flagged, then tell them it is silly for them to keep inviting you multiple times when they know you have been flagged.
