In this video, I show you how you can save money by stretching your points... And by using Interval International and RCI to book last minute deals (Getaways or Last Call). The end result of this strategy is that you don't need to own as many points or pay as much in Maintenance fees.

Granted that in this video, I am a little obsessive with my comparisons. But I do this in order to highlight my point.... You don't need to always stay in Studios... You don't always have to stay off peak.. But to stretch your points the farthest, that is what you do. You can choose how to best apply this strategy to your individual needs.
