Poll- How Many Points?

[SwampFox]

Since we may have lost many of the old posts and polls, let's try this one again.

[PamOKW]

These polls are much better than the old ones. It gives you more options and the results are very cool. Thanks for trying them out, Swampfox.

[dianeschlicht]

Thanks for posting the new poll. These boards are nice, but will take some getting used to.

[Wes]

The polls still linger in the dust of the other threads, since a vote alone does not bump the poll up.

I really had hoped that a vote would be treated like a reply and bump the poll up.

[Glinda]

Thanks for posting the poll. I like this new and improved version:)

[TraciMcRee]

I voted so bump!

[LES---OKW95]

Boy, this is going to take some getting use to!! I am very slow with changes. We have 420 points. First bought 270 and then added on another 150 a couple of years ago. :pinkbounc :pinkbounc :bounce: :bounce:

[DumboOrBust]

I voted.

[jsinohio]

Interesting poll......I don't believe I saw the past ones regarding this.

Thanks! :)

[ohioMickey]

The point system is SO flexible. It is great to be a part of a club that offers such a variety of options.

[BobBrazeal]

OKW resale of 260 points.

VWL addon of 70 points. (papers signed, waiting for closing)

[Wes]

[NHMinnie]

I voted!

bump :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Caskbill]

I just did a 100 point add-on two months ago. That jumped me up two levels in the poll. Yeah.

Bump

[Pooh Bear Dad]

I am a new member with 200 VWL points. I was amazed discovering from the poll results that some have more than 1500 (over $150,000) points. I guess someone has to rent a grand villa at BW on Saturday night in high season :p

Scott

[Pooh Bear Dad]

I meant $108,000 for 1500 points. Oops :eek:


Scott

[Beachangel]

I voted - 200 points BWV

[Luv2Dream]

:bounce: 350 at VWL!!!:jester: :smooth:

[wdwendyd]

We just bought a resale that is 150 points plus 60 points for a total of 210 at Old Key West. The old owner had banked all 210 points so we have 420 for our next trip! Whoopie!!! :bounce:

[LIDisneyFan]

Just added 150 to our 300 at BW - so we're at 450 now!

That should hold us for a while;)

[Disnydad]

I want to amend my vote. Originally I voted 150 to 200. But we did an add-on yesterday and now have 270!!

I want a recount.

[kbispels]

200 pts. BWV 1999 :cool:

[wdw1972]

I started with 190 OKW points in 1997.

Now I'm at 900 points (580 OKW, 210 HH, 110 VB)

[HFC1969]

We are currently in the works for a 700 point purchase at OKW. Hope its enough.

[TeresaNJ]

but would like to add-on when BCV becomes available, if possible.:)

[Tomskatt]

We will be closing July 5th on our 1st set of pooints! 150 HH...........Hopefully I won't catch this very expensive point habit ! :p

[chainkid]

We have 502 at BWV and 100 at HH

Joan

[maryisme]

We have 150 at HH, 60 VB and 60 WLV.

[DVCajun]

So who are the lucky folks who own over 1000 points? I want to know how often you go and for how long. Sign me-- JEALOUS.

[Eeyore's Dad]

we have 300 points at BWV and recently added 100 points at VWL

[KCritter]

220 at VB and thinking of adding some on-site points

[sumessefui]

400, but need more.

[Rock'n Robin]

Started with 160 at BWV, just added 100 at VWL. If only I had 75 more at VWL....but we have to pay off what we have first!:)
Robin M.

[AnnaS]

We own 200 at OKW and waiting for add-on at BCV.

[dkellumw]

Bought 150 points at VWL last week. Plan on buying at BCV if dollars per point and points per night stay are not to high.

[CaptainMidnight]

dkellumw and AnnaS,
What attracts you to BCV? Aren't you concerned over the close proximity to the road, inadequate balconeys, and long walk to the transportation boats?

[AnnaS]

CaptainMidnight,

To be honest with you, we bought at OKW 10/00. Banked 00, used 2001 and borrowed all (but 8) of our points for our Magic Cruise in July 2001. We have yet to put our feet in OKW. (We know it's not the best way to use pts., but we were planning on a cruise out of NY for 2001 anyway - $$ invested in DVC :) and cruised anyway. We have been on a waitlist for OKW resale (small add-on) for months now. Actually, if we buy at BCV - we like the idea of a different resort and closer to parks (perhaps our kids one day can go with a friend or two) but wondering how many nights a small-add on would get us. Either way, we loved the cruise so much that we will be booking this Aug. 2002 for July 2003 (with another DVC family that came along). We will be paying a lot $$$ since we have only two years worth (unless we have that add-on). We do take two rooms (3 children). This time though, after cruise, God willing, we plan on Western Carib. cruise for a week and stay a week at OKW - We are dying to say we are going home and since we will be borrowing again from 2004, I am not waiting til '05. Of course, the year we dont' have points (like 2002), we vacation elsewhere and use opportunity to see different places. We would love to come down at least once a year and become DVC and Disney experts, perhaps after this next cruise. Sorry, did I get carried away here a little.:)

[EROS]

300 BWV points. Those are MORE than adequate for our WDW needs, so we always have excess points which we have applied to cruises/Trapp Family Lodge. However, as with most members, I find that you're better off paying cash away from WDW.

When we eventually move up to a 1-bedroom from a studio, we'll use the majority of our points in Orlando........

[dkellumw]

CaptainMidnight,

We would like to own some points in the Epcot/MGM area. Small contracts are hard to get for BWV through resale. We would like to see about adding enough points to stay every three years in a two bedroom. Buying through Disney we can get the right amount we need. When we go next year in November we will take a tour of the place and see things in person.

Thanks to everyone on this board we will all know how much per point, points per room/night, views, distance to the two parks, etc to make a decision.

We have never stay in that area so you raise good points for me to look into and ask questions to others on this board when BCV starts selling.:)

[ncligs]

We have 300 at OKW, but might be adding 50 to VB.

[slc224]

600 OKW points:) ...Still not enough!!!:(

[mic_KY_mouses]

We are waiting for notice that our closing took place for 210 VWL points. This is our first purchase into DVC.

DH is already talking about adding on... :rolleyes:
Bad part is......I'm secretly hoping we do!!!:D

[ncligs]

We have just added on 50 at VB, to go with our 300 at OKW, to give us 350. This should hold us for a while :D Our goal is 400!!!

[ZerasPride]

We just purchased 170 points at Hilton Head (closing to take place sometime next month) and DS and I were talking about how many points we have and what would could do with them. He said he thought 170 was a lot and I told him how many points others have and that even though 170 suits our needs now, we may add on at the BCV in the future. So just for the record, my DS's goal is to own 900 points :rolleyes: .

We were watching TV last night and they kept showing the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes where they are going to find the $10 Million winner. I asked my son what he would do with that type of money and he said that after buying me a big house, he'd buy all the DVC points he could! A kid after his mother's heart!!!!

[buck4568]

We have 250 BWV and adding 100 resale points there this month. Plus,we have 125 VB for a grand total of 475. Got the cruise bug and hopefully we can manage with that many points.:cool:

:) :) :) :smooth:

[Pluto4President]

Oh, that cruise bug is nasty! It's killing me. Trying to figure out when & how again :)

[Laurabearz]

We have the bug too. We are about to close on 430 OKW points (resale) and when that goes thru we are adding 150 BCV points :-) For a grand total of 580 points!! This should make cruising a wonderful option for us, when the girly's get older.

That is what I love about DVC! So many many ways to work the points you have..... be it 150 or 1500!

[Terry S]

600 points at BCV for me! I wonder if this poll should be re-done since a lot of people have since added on the numbers might be different.

[ripleysmom]

We have 225 BWV but I'm getting the bug and 100 BCV points might just be the cure :D

[DVCLady]

:D

Member since 1998, I am 28 years old and hubby is 34. We own 844 pts.

HHI-220
VB- 50
OKW- 130
VWL- 230
BCV- 214
sorry no boardwalk, but glad we waited for BCV!

[ncligs]

Just wondering if DVCLady's 5 contracts have the same use year???? :confused: Also, do you have an accounting degree to keep track of your points:rolleyes:

[DVCLady]

Yes they are all the same use year. I don't have a accounting degree, but hubby is a Management Consultant, LOL.:smooth:
:D :) :) :D

[ncligs]

DVCLady,

Thanks for answering. That helps a lot to have the same use year.:D :D

[Terry S]

Wow... DVC Lady.... everyone asked what I was going to do with my points when I started out with 600 at BCV. I would love 844.

[fireplug]

230 at BWV and just bought 100 for VB. Yippee!!!!!!!

[ncligs]

OKW(300) and just added on at VB (110) to give us 410 total.:D

[JulesMom]

We just bought 170 points at BCV last week. I would love to have about 250, but 170 is all we can afford right now!:(

[Pluto4President]

Hmmm... Doc can you reset this poll so that we can account for the new add-ons?

[sanddune]

Lucky owners of: VB-270pts.,VWL-190,BWV-280,BCV-265

[Granny]

sanddune....

Marry me, adopt me, be my best friend!!!:D

Over 1,000 points, :earseek:


.....that just gets me doing some major daydreaming!

[Terry S]

My vote on this one is wrong now also.... We did a 200 point add-on at BCV to our original 600 point BCV purchase. So we are now at 800 points.

[yesdisneyfool]

How do I change my vote, just did an addon an now in a new level?

[SINK]

Just voted.

150 VWL, 250 OKW

[madcoco]

800 all at VB Like keeping it simple and even. Impatiently waiting for DI

[jx3smom]

We have 225 at BWV and 225 at BCV. Never enough points.

[ralphd]

Bump, for new DVC members.

[invalid_char]

300. Seemed like too many when we bought. Haven't even stayed at our home (BCV) yet and we can already tell that this is not enough!

[Maistre Gracey]

With the frequency that members add-on, this pole is constantly outdating itself.
