Biannual Points

[reginaflowers]

Can someone explain how even odd points work? Specifically if you have annual years too.
1. Do you pay the annual fees advertised with eBay timeshares each year?
2. What fees are associated with borrowing points from future years if you have biannual points?
3. How do housekeeping and reservation transactions act when you pull from a future year?
Do you only get the housekeeping credits for the year the points are allocated?
5. Are there any positives to purchasing even/odd timeshares

TIA

So I have a couple of biannual contracts- and they function in a similar way my annual contracts do.

1. Do you pay the annual fees advertised with eBay timeshares each year?
- i wouldn’t completely trust the advertised eBay maintenance fees…double check them here on tug to see what others are reporting as current. https://tugbbs.com/forums/threads/sticky-official-2025-maintenance-fee-thread.368427/
2. What fees are associated with borrowing points from future years if you have biannual points?
- there aren’t any fees to borrow specifically for bi-annual contracts but the standard borrowing timelines still apply. My bi-annual contracts receive half of the points annually…
3. How do housekeeping and reservation transactions act when you pull from a future year?
- they are listed in the dashboard. While I haven’t run out of either yet and usually have leftovers.
For every 77,000 points you get 1 housekeeping credit- there is an option to purchase extra if you run out.

5. Are there any positives to purchasing even/odd timeshares
- for me I wanted the security of a particular resort and APR- every other year. The resort is nearby to my son’s & his fiancé this way we can alternate the thanksgiving holiday between families.
For us it’s working out okay…but it’s not our only contract and I think that plays a difference.
