Well, like I said earlier, we are a family of 7, so I looked at the points required for a two week stay in a villa that will sleep 8 (we like to go for 10-14nights). I looked at AK point system and it would cost us about 500 points for that stay at "regular season" (I don't have the exact info in front of me right now), and that many points would cost us 52K. The dues would be roughly 2300/yr (according to this chart).
I really don't want to change the length of our stays, it just seems like a lot to put out for the comfort of a deluxe resort. Right now two rooms at a moderate for 14nights (without any specials/deals) costs us $5000 a year. I think it works better for us right now to keep this going and just pay extra here and there for the deluxe and just re-invest the money.
Maybe we'll look into renting some points to try it out first.
