The aftermarket price per "point" is significantly less than what is offered during the presentation .. why ? the commission has already been paid. If you do your homework, you can pick up a high quality week for a reasonable price. Why would you want to do that ? I've stayed in hundreds of hotel rooms during my working years .. they are ok, but if i'm going to have a relaxing week somewhere, I like a 1200-1500 sq ft nicely furnished place. not a Red Roof Inn kind of person. The maintenance cost is way less than a hotel. Allows for the kids or friends to join for free. I have a friend that has accumulated 13 one week stays in Aruba, which he uses consecutively each year .. OceanFront. I only do Hilton or Marriott .. we could probably do the presentation. OTOH, we stayed at a Wyndham property on Sandestin several years ago .. both the presentation and the property were third rate
