This is what I do. I look at the number of points necessary to gauge value. Can I reserve withnpoints what I can get with a weeks exchange?
Then I ask myself, can I be flexible with the week I receive in exchange and the check in day? Weeks exchanges often require more flexibility whereas reserving with points tends to be more exact.
There are a number of resort weeks available within a 2 hour driving distance of Denver. Even though summer weeks in ski territory have become more popular over the last few years, there’s still an oversupply IMHO of available timeshare units for the summer season. There are several II resorts in the Breckenridge area as an example. MVC’s mountain valley lodge is a good points value in the summer but you’re limited to either a 1 bedroom or a studio unit, they don’t have 2 bedroom units. On the other hand Grand Timber Lodge is a relatively easy exchange for the summer weeks and they have mostly 2 bedroom lock out units.
There’s really no one answer for everyone. It depends on the number of points in MVC’s system, what your needs are, your flexibility and what you need for future vacations. All you can do is compare options and decide what works best for you.
