How to use points

I'm assuming that this is a question even though there is no punctuation. So, assuming that this is a question, the answer is kind of complicated. Remember, different points systems have different values, rules, and procedures. Your title mentions "Welk Points". I'm not personally familiar with Welks points. However, most points systems follow similar basic procedures.

Each year you have a certain amount of points. When you want to book a unit, it requires a certain amount of points. The amount has many varying factors:

1) Size of the unit. A 2-bedroom unit will usually require more points than a 1-BR unit. Fairly easy.

2) Demand or time of year. A unit booked during high holiday season such as Christmas will likely require more points than booking that same unit in September.

3) When you book it. As you get closer to check-in date, the timeshare company will probably worry that the week will go unclaimed so it might lower the point value needed to book that week.

4) Number of days or days of the week. One advantage to points instead of weeks is that you can book the number of days you need or want. If you want three days, you can book three days which will obviously require fewer points than booking seven days. Also, it usually requires more points to book on a weekend than on a weekday.

These are a few things to consider when using points instead of weeks. But again, keep in mind that Welk points are in no way connected with RCI points, Wyndham points, or any other points system.
