Hi Friends! My wife and I just bought into the MVC points program (1000 pts) at a presentation in San Diego. I know we paid a premium but we got the minimum and I figured we will purchase more points on the resale or rental market as needed.
We are in our early 40's with a couple of kids who are almost out of the house (19 & 16). We chose MVC because we need to take more vacations and to "up" our standards from the budget hotels. We do a lot of 2-3nt stays for our kids' sports and we like to take beach vacations, which we have not done enough of. So we are excited to be in the MVC and super happy to have found the TUG Forum. Lots of great advice here!
That said... We are very green and all this talk of weeks, points, mergers, conversions, etc. is pretty confusing. Add in the firehose of information during the presentation along with all the tips & tricks found on this forum... my mind is spinning! Haha - in a good way tho.
My question for the seasoned pros... What are the top 3,4,5 things you think I should know about MVC, how to use the program or how to maximize the benefits? Or anything else you think we should know?
I know this is a broad question. See... I'm so new to this - I don't even know what questions to ask!
Thanks for your help!
