I have had two deeded week units at Wyndham Patriots' Place and Kingsgate for years and have used them, traded them on RCI, rented them out, etc. I actually share the use of these with some friends, but the weeks are still officially in my name.
After enduring yet another "owner update" late last year, I am convinced that having Points would be more useful to us than fixed weeks. However, I am not going to pour thousands more to buy additional from the developer just to have the privilege of switching to points.
As I understand it, it should be possible to switch to points by paying a fee of $2395 for the first week and $995 for the second week. The total of the two weeks should get us 280,000 points -- not enough for VIP, but I don't think the advantages of VIP are sufficient to get me to shell out a bunch more money to buy another unit from the developer.
Will paying this fee and doing the paperwork be all that's really necessary? Am I missing out on some of the benefits by not making an additional purchase at the time of the switch? I never seem to get a straight answer when I ask these questions during an owner update -- their incentive is to sell me more timeshare points, not to simply convert me over from weeks.
