Are all points systems created equal? (by Blake R.):

I am looking at purchasing some type of timeshare or points soon, and have seen huge differences in the points offered by one company to the other. I saw one timeshare for sale that said it offered 189000 Fairshare Plus points, and another that said 5,000 Interval International points. I can't seem to find anything out about the two. I guess that the Fairshare points are on a different and much higher point system than II? I had sat in on a point presentation by II where they offered to sell me 5,000 points a year for x amount of dollars. If there is a difference between all points systems, where can you go to see how many points you need, or how many points each different resort condos take to rent?
