Weeks vs points

[Delta2]

Hi everyone.I own a 1BR week 02 at Grandview Las Vegas. This week I went to an “upgraded event” for owners.I ended up converting my week system to point system. The price was 5000$ for 30500 points. I have now a buyer remorse. I would like to ask if the conversion I made is worth it. I never used the point system. i have 2 more days to rescind the conversion. Thanks

Rescind now. Buy a points contract if you want to try. I got GrandView EOY 61k points for $99 total from eBay. Cannot tell you if points are better than weeks but the difference in price is 99 not 5000

Rescind week 2 is terrible for points. If you were getting more than 12 TPU you've lost value on points.

If you want a points unit, you can get one for free. You can get a higher points unit for free.

I agree with everyone that you should recind your contract. However, points are better than weeks. We have an 86500 point 2 BR in Florida and have used some or our points for a 2 BR in Maui in the past and this year we are using some of our points for 2 weeks in a 1 BR in Kauai. We have some points left over from each year , which are carried over to the next year.

What has been your experience with weeks to make the this comparison?

For the trades you made, is there a reason executing them in points was better than weeks?

RE: rolling over points to the next year

Yes, in a weeks account points can roll over from one year to the next. However, deposit a week in RCI weeks one year before check-in, and you have three years to use the trading power units (TPUs) that work like points. And you can pay to extend beyond three years just as you can in points.

I have had a points account for six years and a weeks account for five. I often find one to be better for certain things or trades versus the other, but it is not consistent that one is disproportionately better than the other.

I find having some eggs in both baskets maximizes your chances to get a better deal.

If one trades in weeks within the VV system, weeks is almost always better for that. Currently, it is a $159 internal exchange fee in weeks versus the full $299 in a points account.
