Floating weeks --- the devil is always in the details... (by Cara F.):

Wow, thanks for the info! The timeshares I am considering are Hilton and Marriott. Hilton uses points so I think, but could be wrong, that I can use the points all year long but that the unit size will vary based on the season (and availability of course).

Marriott has the floating weeks but they seem to be season specific - and I am not entirely sure how that works. I think I would be ok with any week of the specific season, but might be locked into that season (or a lesser?) season only. So if I buy platinum, I think I should be able to use any season, but if I buy gold I could only use gold (or silver). Or at least I think.

Thanks for the valuable advice!
