I do understand! We are still getting the hang of all of th3 renting and booking and banking window stuff and we have had it for over 2 years now!

Basically, it all depends on when you decide to go! There are different seasons and during the value seasons your points will get you much more. You will see a points chart in some of your paperwork, but take this example for instance:

September it is a value season so if you looked into staying in a studio at Old Key West you could stay:
Sunday through Thursday @ 8 points/day x 5 days =35 points
or you could do a
Thursday (8 pts), Friday (20 pts) and Saturday(20 pts) = 48 pts

but if you wanted to stay at Beach Club Villas it will cost you more points, for example:
Sunday through Thursday @ 12 pts/day x 4 days =48 pts
or you could stay
Friday and Saturday @ 22 pts/day = 44 pts

Those are just examples of using your points in a value season. Of course if you go during a Premier season it will cost you a lot more points per night! Take a good look at all of the information, but we have never had any regrets and to be honest, each one of the DVC's are beautiful and very spacious! I was very impressed!
