Situation: We have a young family (4 of us) and we want to start vacationing yearly. We generally plan our vacations well in advance (12+ months ahead of time and vacation right around the same time each year (end of July/beginning of August). In the past, I have generally talked my in-laws in to letting us use their timeshare which happens to be through Wyndham; however, this isn't always an option because they generally vacation 2-3 times a year. We won't go to the same place every year, but we do have a few favorites which we will probably do every 4th year at best (Pagosa Springs, CO or Branson, MO). I definitely plan on buying via the resale market, but looking for other TUG members that have a similar scenario and what has worked best for them in securing their desired vacation spot each year through exchanges.
Question: I imagine I would want to focus on a location that trades well and has low MFs first, and then secondly on what I would prefer to frequent (even if it is only every 4 years).
Points versus a fixed week? If points, how do I know what the magic number of points is where I won't be too limited?
Any other major considerations?
Many thanks for the help!
