What are points? Are points available on the resale market?
Points are a unit of measurement sometimes used to determine the value of a timeshare interval. Points are assigned based on a week’s desirability in terms of season, size of suite, amenities and location. The more desirable or in-demand a resort week is, the more points it is worth. If you are considering purchasing from an owner whose resale timeshare is part of a points-based system, don’t fret that you will not enjoy the same benefits that traditional timeshares afford owners. Many respected multi-destination resort groups (like Disney, Wyndham and Bluegreen)-use points-based programs to provide their owners with flexible usage options that allow them to stay for a shorter or longer period than the traditional week-long timeshare interval.
