If you go to TUG (www.tug2.net) you can find a first time buyers questionnaire, which you can fill out and ask for help. Members will give you recommendations on which systems might work best for you. No one system is the best. And the "points systems" vary between companies. You need, also, to consider the effect of maintenance fees on you enjoyment of your timeshare. Do you want to go to more than one location? If so, system size matters. Education is the key. Personally, I don't believe in owning a timeshare. I vacation in hotels or rent timeshare weeks. No upfront costs, and no regrets if circumstances change. And no maintenance fee bills every year. If, after doing all the necessary research, you find that your first transaction was the best - you can always go back to your salesman and resurrect the deal. Your deal was not "Good for today only." That's a scare tactic.
