The Polynesian has now sold 33.3% of its 4,032,720 total points. Given the recent surge in sales, its difficult to predict when the resort may sell out. Based on its average monthly sales since January 2015, in would take about 30 months, or until October 2018, before the resort is sold out. However, in the unlikely event that sales continued at April’s inflated rate, it would take less than 16 months, or until August 2017, before the resort would be sold out.
