We gave away 2 Vacation Village At Parkway triennial points units & sold 1.
When we bought (eBay all the way)l, we did not know that the Vacation Village At Parkway units have 3 different points levels, varying according to demand season. (
Weeks units there are all red-season;
points units vary, even though maintenance fees are all the same.)
The 1st triennial we bought was good for 55
,000 points divided by 3 (i.e., 18
,333 annual points -- which was a step up from our original dinky points unit out in Arkansas).
Before long we gave away that 1 & bought an eBay replacement that was good for 74
,000 points divided by 3 (that is, 24
,667 annual points).
By then we understood about the 3 varying Vacation Village At Parkway points levels, so we gave away the 74
,000
/ 3 triennial & bought (eBay again) another replacement good for 92
,500
/ 3 points -- i.e., 30
,833 annual points.
All Vacation Village At Parkway ownership is 2BR, so when downsized we sold the Vacation Village At Parkway triennial unit (via TUG) & went for an eBay triennial 1BR points unit (49
,000 points divided by 3) at Grandview At Last Vegas. We wanted to hold out for a 1BR unit out there worth 61
,000 points divided by three. But not seeing any of those offered on eBay for months & months, we settled for a unit that gets us 16
,333 annual points.
That's where matters stand today. With so few points available for making exchanges, we rely heavily on various RCI sales & specials like
Last Call &
Bonus Weeks &
7-Night Reservations Under 10,000 Points. So far, so good.
