Do you avoid weekend trips to save points?

[BCV23]

We avoid using points on weekends like the plague.

I think the only time we have stayed on a weekend was one night in a studio on a Sat. night when we had a few banked points that were going to expire if we didn't. Even then, it pained me to "waste" the points.

We enjoy having a cash reservation at one of our favorite resorts for 3 or 4 nights and checking into BCV on Sunday usually for 5 nights. We get more BCV vacations with this strategy.

But we are older and have more vacation time to play with these days. And our children are grown. If we had little ones still I don't think I would be willing to uproot them.

We did the whole move on the weekend thing for several years until DH decided he wanted a new truck with all the bells and whistles. He got his truck I got to double our points, so now we stay weekends and we get the 1 bedroom.

When I realized that the points for the two weekend nights (Fri & Sat) totaled the same as the five weekday nights (Sun-Thurs) I switched to cash (with a member discount if possible) for the weekends and effectively doubled the amount of time we could spend at Old Key West. Everyone views things differently.

I used to. Now I stay Saturdays and Sundays instead of going for long trips most of the time (I have a full week in July but that includes both Friday and Saturday). It's better than Friday/Saturday but I still have to spring for Saturday.
