Re: RedWeek's own new point system! (by Mike N.):

We have units on Kauai which we normally use every year (oceanfront KBV) and also own on the mainland..in Cabo San Lucas. The airfare is a pain for Hawaiian timeshares and often its cheaper to go to Cabo and the weather is much more reliable in the winter! Yet if you plan and put all your purchases on a Hawaiian miles card , you can go to Hawaii free every other year at least! We currently have a December week in Cabo we cant use because we were there for 2 weeks already plus a total of 4 on Kauai/Hawaii but our problem is that we have a penthouse and I think its undervalued in the point system. It rents for over $1500 per night by the resort but the Redweek system offers little more than a two bedroom in resorts in Hawaii that I have not chosen to stay at in the past. Seems like you might get a good deal for points if you own Hawaii but you need to look at where you want to explore on the mainland...less beach but maybe golf or hiking
============= When you submitted your unit for a valuation, were you able to tell RedWeek that you have a penthouse unit? If not, send them an email and informthem as such, they may be able to adjust your point value.
