Timeshares typically utilize one of the following 3 systems: A fixed week timeshare provides the purchaser the right to solely utilize the residential or commercial property for a specific week (or weeks) every year. While the advantage of this structure is that the buyer can plan a yearly vacation at the very same time every year, the other side of the coin is that it may be exceptionally challenging to change the set week to another period if required.While it is more versatile than the fixed week system, the "floating week" might not be readily available throughout the busiest times of the year and may need to be reserved well in advance to guarantee availability. The points system utilizes points to represent timeshare ownership, based upon factors such as resort area, size of the trip residential or commercial property, and time of schedule.
