My brother has a small 25pt contract at SSR already that was left to him by a family member. He wants to add on to his contract to get more points and his families 2 favorite resorts are CCV and Riviera. He wants to purchase @175 pts direct. Does NOT want to do resale. He is impatient and wants to just call and pay for them and be done with it, have it all in the correct use year and be able to get the 2021 points for it as well. So he has narrowed it down to those 2 resorts and has asked me what my opinion is. I'm leaning towards telling him to go with CCV for a couple of reasons and just wanted to see if I was forgetting anything one way or another that I should be telling him and/or to also just get everyone else's opinion on it. My reasoning for recommending CCV over Riv is as follows:
Curious to see what any of your opinions are on the matter
- He isn't really the best at holding on to things super long, and even though he isn't planning on it, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he was wanting to sell it in 10-15 years. I think the resale restrictions will hurt the resale of Riv in comparison.
- The maintenance fees are a good amount higher at RIv vs CCV
- The Point chart is much better at CCV than Riv
- He's more of a relaxed "woodsy" kinda person and I believe overall the VWL is much more his vibe than Riv would be
- I think the extra $25ish per point he will pay for CCV, he will get at least that much more for it than Riv if/when he ever goes to sell it.
