What are Points? And Can I Buy Them on the Resale Market?
The points system is one of the newest forms of timeshare ownership, and, yes, you can purchase points memberships directly from current owners on the timeshare resale market. This system enables the owner to prepay for an alloted number of annual points that can be used for their vacations. The more points purchased, the more flexibility offered when wishing to travel during high season. Likewise, more points may mean a larger unit or a more desirable destination or resort. Another advantage of the points system is that owners can enjoy more flexible usage options. Points owners are not required to all their points at once. Instead, they can book single night stays or week-long getaways depending on how many points they have. While flexibility is a major advantage to the points system, it’s important to keep in mind that satisfaction is largely based upon resort availability.
