I received a survey from my timeshare this week, gauging our interest in points systems. I sent it back with a resounding NO NO NO. Would like to gather some information from those of you who have both systems.
First off, we have owned only weeks. We own 4 units, all at the same resort. Only one of those intervals is traded every year. One is used every year, and the other two are sometimes traded, depending on the calendar shifts relative to school break. I bought what I use. They all have traded nicely...I've been satisfied with the trades I've gotten.
When we DO travel for a long weekend or a partial week, I watch for cheap extra vacation weeks. I've generally been able to find something that works for the times I want to travel. I do not need the flexibility that points tend to offer.
I don't see that points would benefit me. I'm quite happy with my usage. Am I missing something? $1 or 100 pennies....all worth the same. Changing to points won't magically "up" a particular week's value, which is what I think some owners are hoping will happen. Sigh. Hopefully it's just a tempest in a teapot.
For those of you who have both systems, which do you prefer and why? Many thanks!
