Hi there -
I had 7,500 a year on a temp lease for 10 years. I banked last year's points, and I had 15,000 to use this year as a result. I booked 2 rooms for 1 week and used 4,500 points and have 10,500 points left. I believe I am currently silver status.
I just paid to upgrade to a points conversion plus add 7,500 points for a total of 15,000 points. Plus, they pulled my 3 bedroom lockoff into the collection and allowed me to retain it and convert it to points if I want to do so. The unit is 20,700 points. So, I still pay the MF on the unit I own plus I pay like $300 extra a year for club fees if I want to use points instead. This is a total of 34,700 points (if my math is correct). I just signed the paperwork for this sale/conversion a week ago, so I don't show as gold member status yet.
I want to book 5 days or a week to take my family on vacation somewhere for Mother's Day. What is the best way to take advantage of the 50% off if you book within less than 60 days? And, is that only for if you are platinum? I am trying to be frugal with my 10,500 points on the books right now. I don't think I'd care if I had the rest of the points available about paying full price.
I haven't really done much with my points so far, but it was nice being able to treat family to a dream vacation. What do you guys recommend?
