As someone who is all about points and the flexibility they offer (at least in a true points system) I've always been puzzled about fixed weeks.
However, I think I'm finally beginning to see the appeal in some instances. Knowing you will get the same ocean view every year or a warm week in Key West or Hawaii when you live somewhere snowy could be a big boon. I also imagine you get to know many of the people who own the same week. And of course you don't have to worry about getting your reservation in (although half my fun is planning and booking).
So...I'll stick w my points but I'm no longer as perplexed about why people would want fixed weeks.
