For enrolled weeks, what is the window to elect points?

Is this confirmed yet for avoiding the upgrade fees? If so, when does the change take place from 60 to 30 days?
I took this from another thread, but it is from the terms and conditions. Since they are changing the definition of Flexchange and based on the upgrade fee terms indicating an "upgrade received in connection with a Flexchange Confirmation", it would seem that upgrade fees will only be waived inside 30 days. I beleive the changes to Flexchange happen June 30th, or perhaps July 1st.

Thank you. They certainly don’t make it easy to learn about changes.
 
Do you own a Platinum Plus week? Is it Platinum week + ability to book week 51/51 or it has to be fixed week 51/52?

It is a little more complicated than this at PBC.
We own Platinum Phase 1 week, which also allows us to book weeks 51/52
The later Platinum Phase 2 week does not allow you to book these.
The later Platinum Plus Phase 2 week is Fixed weeks 52/52.

Yeah, I am more concerned which one can elect 6030 points, or both?

Platinum Phase 1 and Platinum Phase 2 weeks both elect for 3270 Abound Points
Platinum Phase 1 weeks tend to sell and rent for higher value because of the benefit of being able to book Weeks 51/52.
I understand that Platinum Plus weeks may elect for 6030 Abound Points, but I don’t believe I know of anyone who owns these and I also don’t recall ever seeing them for sale?

Got it. I am a bit surprised that both Platinum Phase 1 and Platinum Phase 2 elect for the same 3270 points, while one can book 51/52 and the other not. But OK only Platinum Plus fixed week 51/52 may elect for 6030, which makes sense to me as they are rare event weeks. Honestly speaking I don't think week 51/52 is so attractive at PBC. Lunar New Year is more attractive so you might see people ditching their fixed week 51/52 at a lower price, in favor of regular platinum weeks (so they could book Lunar New Year). But again if someone owns this, the best is to elect points.
