Re: Timeshare Points vs. Weeks (by George B.):

Points don't lose value, however the number of points required to get into a condo costs more in newer properties. So the 50,000 points you have for today's home resort might not get you into a standard resort in 10 years.

I do wonder how they will handle adding points to your existing membership when the time comes..... I'd hate to think there would need to be two memberships with two monthly member fees to add points!

Depends on who you have your points with. RCI points will change because they are not deeded, RCI doesn't own properties they are a paper based company.. Fairfield is a deeded ownership and the point value chart will stay the same, the cost to purchase the point will change. So for instance if you can go to Williamsburg for 1 week 2bedroom prime season and it costs 154000 point is 2007 it will cost the same amount of points in 2017. The only exception to this rule I'm aware of is they can increase the value for 1 week but they must decrease the value for a corresponding week, thus the total amount of points for the total property must remain constant. True, newer developed properties will set their points charts based on then current market conditions.
