All About Fixed Weeks (RIV/CCV/AUL/VGF/POLY/TOWER/VHD/FWC Charts)

That’s kind of where I am now. I really don’t see myself staying that week 39 very often and even then probably not Sunday to Sunday. Combine that with the extra cost and I think I’m better off just buying straight points.

Yep, it's not like those extra 14 points themselves takes you to a new threshold that would really lower the cost per point either. The only thing you'd be losing on is maybe some perceived extra resale value which is worthless until you actually decide to sell it and since it's already a relatively small contract probably won't increase the PP cost significantly anyways.

That is why we opted out of FW…we’d never use it and I just don’t think it’s going to be more popular for buyers or may limit buyer pool who see it and don’t want it.

Plus, will those who bought FW want a higher price because of it, shrinking those interested?

For me it is worth the upcharge, especially for week 49. As far as my Poly purchase goes, We always visit in September, usually 3-4th week. Buying first week of September ( week 36) because it was the cheapest FW for Poly and includes a holiday. If the points chart go up, it’s a win/win even for resale.

The ease of automatic booking in of itself is worth it.

I bought a week 47 fixed week for VGF. It falls most years on US thanksgiving. We’re Canadian. We have no intention of ever going on week 47 but I thought it had good value and if we hold on to the contract for the life of it, it may come in handy in those latter years when most owners are resale owners and there’s not much availability elsewhere.
