My head is spinning from trying to understand all of these options. So, please excuse my ignorance I have really really tried to understand all of the details an nuances of this system without much luck I'm afraid. So, I'm needing advice. Here are my circumstances.
We would need at least a 2 bedroom most times of the year (maybe a 1 bedroom would work?) We generally travel for 10-14 days in an ocean type vacation usually in June/July most years. I have small children under the age of 7. Lagunamar, St. John, am very interested in. We just went to Maui last year and don't expect to be going back anytime soon as the flight was SO SO long for my small kids. My husband loves to play golf so that's a consideration. We also usually go on a 1 week trip right after Christmas. I'm assuming this is a Platinum week. And, sometimes we like to travel during Spring Break/Thanksgiving. So, I'm assuming I would need enough points to plan at least one week per year during High Season (when school is out) and hopefully, enough points for at least one other week (preferably more like 10-14 days) in June/July. We may visit the same resort a few times but wouldn't be booking the same resort for every trip. I think that would get a little old to my husband/kids, etc. Renting out points wouldn't be a factor for us right now as we enjoy traveling and travel almost every chance we get.
I've read all the buy into Kierland or SVV discussions and am very confused. So, I understand I need to buy in a "mandatory" resort. But, don't know if I should shoot for the low MF fees at Kierland or the low cost to buy in at SVV? I'm thinking I would need at least the 148,000 points?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated on how many points I should buy and from which resort, etc.
