Whatever you do do not use the points system. Keep your week! If you switch to points it will only be good enough for 4 days. I even attended one of those sales events to get points. In that meeting I asked the lady to try it out., She went to a NON busy time in our favorite resorts. IN each case, the points we would get for our 7 day week were only enough for 3-4 days - and that was when travel frequency and traffic was LOW. It is for them just a way to shuffle things around more and MAKE MORE MONEY. Capitalism is at work. If you own a week you also have a DEED. Stay away from Points. You may be stuck with it but at least with the week you can use it.
