Such a subjective question I know. Maybe I should be asking how many points is enough for me, but then I will get that depends on you as a response.
So family of 4 with 2 young boys. We travel 3 to4 times a year. I dont want every trip to be covered off with the vacation club, but I want atleast 1 maybe 2 trips a year covered.
I want to be able to go to Hawaii any year without worrying about having enough points or not. I plan on using open season for some extra trips.
I think being able to go to vegas for 4 days, new york 3 days, and orlando for 1 week will be a normal years useage.
I am about to own 5k points and I have already booked them for a weeks stay in Las Vegas in May for a wedding.
If I want hawaii, I will have to borrow from the following year just to get 5 days at platninum time, with my 5k points.
I was thinking maybe another 5k membership but is 10k really enough? should I start saving for a 7k or 9600k membership next to add to my 5k?
I guess, you can never have enough. I will be buying a second at the end of the year or next year 100% just dont know if a second gold will satisfy my vacation needs. If I go to 7k or 9600 I will be paying more up fornt as the 5k seem to be the best value, but the MF on a 7k is the same as a 5k, so overtime the 7k or 9600 k will be a better deal.
Scratching my head here, I am a planner, I need to be organized, I need to research and know what is the best options. MF's dont really bother me, I dont care about multiple payments, I just want to know what package I should go for next.
Any thoughts??
