Re: Point rental liquidators (by Kriz C.):

Timeshare points-system was introduced as a way to innovate timeshare industry. This vacation plan has been introduced in recent years. The points system allows the use of the unit in different seasons each year, and not only fixed weeks, like most timeshares do. In this concept, the club members acquire a number of annually allocated points. These points are used to exchange for holiday accommodation.

Advantages of the points system:

It is much more flexible than the fixed-weeks program You may choose your location You may choose the size of the unit You may choose the length of your stay Disadvantages of the points system:

There is no guarantee you will be able to book a certain week due to the FCFS (first-come-first-serve) basis, so you have to make reservations with long anticipation. There’s a high fee of joining a Points Club There are annual fees you have to pay, even if you don’t use the unit The value of the points will decrease from the first purchase price, as well as happens with a regular timeshare. If you don’t use them, points can expire They never seem to be enough. Most times, you have to buy additional points to exchange your timeshare, stay at a bigger unit or stay for a longer period.
