Re: flexibility of fairfield points (by Joe L.):
Fairfield was the first to go to points, and because of that has the most complicated of all systems. Fairfield is also the Largest Timeshare company, and now larger as part of Wyndam Vacations. Overall, I am very happy with Fairfield. Their units are by far the best I've stayed in, and I've stayed in FAR less quality through RCI. At least if you stay at a Fairfield you know you are staying at a Gold Crown Resort, and it shows! Only thing I don't like are the ridiculous Maintenance Fees. It is getting so bad that you could probably rent a week from someone on Redweek for the same OR LESS money as your maintenance fees. I would tell anyone looking to buy AT ANY TIMESHARE company to seriously consider just renting for awhile till they are sure what they want. It is DEFINITELY not an investment, as the Sales People will lead you to believe. But, if you decide to buy, I don't think there is a better value for the money out there than Fairfield. There are other 'BIG' names out there that charge MUCH more, but the quality and amenities are no better than Fairfield from what I've seen. And no, I'm not an employee of Fairfield or Wyndam... ;)
