In order to get the unit and time you want with points at your own resort, you must reserve 10-13 months in advance. If you don't do that, there is no guarantee that you will get the unit and time you want.If you want a specific unit and time, it is best to stay with weeks. We are flexible and often vacation at different times so points is great for us. The best bonus for us is we can get up to 6 weeks at different resorts for the one week maintenance fee we pay at our own resort so that covers a lot of our winter vacation time. We usually rent a condo or villa in SXM and save our points to travel elsewhere because we get more bang for our buck that way. Points is not for everyone and you do have to know and understand how to use the system to your advantage.
