OK guys, Jerry at the Timeshare Store called last nite and said we passed ROFR... should get papers in 2 or 3 weeks. So I guess we will be 2005 members, and I have posted in the "when did you join" thread accordingly.
Uhhh, how do I say this? I don't think the system was really intended for us to do this, but we did. I suspect we may be one of the smallest points owners in the system....
We bought a whopping 30 point contract at SSR. (We were looking for a small contract at OKW or SSR) All 2004 points available and all 2005 points coming in August. So I can still bank the 2004 points if I want to.
Price was $75 pp plus $375 closing which works out to $87.50. Yeah, I know we coulda done better thru DVD, but we would have had to spend about $10k more right now to save a few bucks per point. On this deal, I didn't have to break the bank right now. And,as I see it, it was below what DVD is charging for add-ons, so I think it was a good deal.
Plus, now we are in the system.... we can buy small add-ons time to time as finances allow without the big initial hit of the 150 point contract.... We got the 49 years... And we always end up at DD every nite, so I think SSR will work great for us.
Points-wise, I know we'll want more in the future, maybe soon.... maybe not. Our past trips have been in rooms at CBR and POFQ, and 2 studio rentals at BCV and OKW... and the studio is fine for us right now. We don't always go every year, and we never go twice a year.
We always go in Oct. or early Dec., so we can easily stay in a studio for 5 nites at OKW 3 out of every 4 years (at a cost of $44.93 per nite) - or a studio for 5 nites anywhere else every other year (at a cost of $67.39 per nite).... (I figured 49 years of dues at 2004 dues prices for my rates)
Yeah, we might wanna go every year..... or we might start doing the 1BR.... then the 2BR....
At least now we are in the system and can add-on!!!!
