The points system is a form of ownership. This system allows the owner to purchase points to be used for travel during specific seasons of the year. Points can be used as currency for resort stays. The more points you have available, the more desirable the resort you can stay at or you may be able to upgrade to a larger unit. The number of points it takes to stay at a resort depends on the resort location and time of year you will be staying. Different resorts have different ratings for high and low season.
