Re: How may points did you start with?

We started with 200 points at SSR and just added 100 at BLT. The first yr after buying we banked everything. The next yr we took 4 trips. That won't happen again. We are waiting about 15 months and will take about 3 trips in one yr and then skip again. We did use a lot of points for my DS to use on his honeymoon. We tend to go during value season, so the points go further. This is using points not just for us (DH and I) but getting a room for a few days for the kids too. They will get a few days on us and then they pay out of pocket for where ever they want to stay. The plan is to get at least 2 trips out of an AP. Our idea is these are OUR points and one day when we are much, much, much older (like 98) then the kids can take over the points.
