Selling as Points Package or...?

Please excuse me if a similar thread has already been posted. I haven't been able to find any answers yet, so here goes...

My husband and I are thinking of listing our TS but I'm wondering how we should word the ad. I rang the resort that we are deeded to and they said that it is a points package and it is only assigned a unit because it needs one on the deed, so the new owners will get the same points package once all paperwork etc are done.

I've looked up a few listings from the same resort on various resale websites, and they are advertised as fixed unit type and week. Doesn't anyone sell their points package?

I've also had a few conflicting advice from different resellers: one saying I will need to surrender my points to get a fixed week/unit type to be able to sell, because the points cannot be transferred. Another said to check there might an upgrade fee to transfer the points as some resorts will revert the t/s back to a fixed week/fixed unit (resort said no). And the third said there were no problems selling as it is.

Has anyone been this confused as I have?

Silver Lake - Silver Points.

Since I don't own Silver Lake and Silver points, so I have no idea what it will be.

Hopefully, someone own there can pitch in.

But generally, if you own a point program it can be transferrd.

The case I heard that can not get transferred is the converted program, which does not seems apply to your case.

But if you did not hear from any owner, you should check with your resort and ask them what is the procedure to transfer your ownership, and hopefully they will give you something in writting.

Thanks Jya-Ning. I started to get really worried when one resale company said that there was no way they can sell it (or anyone for that matter) if I don't surrender my points. Yet, I have seen points being part of other listings (on other sites).
