Timeshare Points vs. Weeks (by Mona S.):

I prefer the points. They are so much more flexible than weeks. We own with Diamond Resorts International, previously Sunterra. If I have a week, I can only use it for a week, or if it is a 2 bedroom lockout, 2 weeks if I divide it up. That's it. With points, we have 53,000, we can go away for 3 day weekends close to home. We usually go to Sedona, AZ 3 or 4 times a year, as well as away for a week or 2. Depending on where I go for a week, I can get 4 weeks in Hawaii, 10 weeks in Willamsburg, VA, or any combination which adds up to 53,000 points. I can also use my points for cruises, airline tickets, maintenence fees, and now they have added airline points, a full day at a luxury spa, race car driving, etc. Points work for us a lot better than weeks.
