We had planned on getting 130 points at the poly, and have a contract as such we will be signing next week. However, now that I am reading about fixed week, I am intrigued.
We always travel first weeks of december or September. We would get fixed week number 49 in a studio at PVB. Without critiqing my plan to buy at PVB, can someone play devils advocarte for the fixed week 49? As I understand it, we can pull the points out and still use them any other time, we will pay a 10% premium, but we were going to get 130 points anyways so thats a wash. We can trasnfer the points, bank and borrow them as needed, still sell it as a fixed week if we ever wanted to sell. We are garunteed this week which falls starting between the 3-9 which works for us.
The downside we see is:
1. sun-sun flights are a bit more expensive
2. will it be less attractive for resale?
Am I missing anything? We have until 31 days before to not take the fixed week, which works for us. And as my hubby pointed out, we could always pull the points and use the 130 points for a reg studio and have extra points that we could bank to the next year. Anything else I am not thinking of?
