Does anyone know what the abbreviation F/DS stands for with a Wyndham Star Island points account? It was originally a week 29, and was upgraded to an annual points package(233,000). Can you use the week 29, or the points?

Default is the usage of the points.

Your only ARP is the underlying week number and unit.

F/DS might stand for the L/O unit of Full 1bdr and Deluxe Studio ... most SI units are lockoffs.

I think F/DS is Fixed week Double Share. All of the older Vacation breaks properties which Fairfield bought, were coded that way. They were all sold as Fixed weeks first. Double Share is stupid speak for Lockout Unit. You pay 1 MF but get a double unit??? Who knows where they got that term.

You can ARP the exact week 29 and the exact size starting at 13 months out (providing you have not used this contract points for another booking). You can use points starting at 10 months out.
