As you have been advised, if you use your week and your unit, points provide you nothing for your money. BUT, as we found out when we wanted to go a few days earlier to save money on flights, they "said" that they had no rooms for the extra days and we would have to stay in their "hotel" rooms at a ridiculous fee. Turns out that they had signed over all of their timeshare rooms to RCI and we could not book them unless we were points clients and went through RCI where there were plenty of rooms.
