Hi all,
When using the DVC Points Calculator program I came up with a total of 773 points used for an upcoming vaction (VWL Studio 11/29/02-12/22/02 and 2Brdm VWL 11/28/2002-12/11/2002) but when using the calculator on DVC website only got total of 731 points. Anyone else get these kind of inconsistancies?? As this is our dream vacation a swing of 40 some odd points may mean a smaller getaway early on that year (poor me:) )

Just pick up the old pencil and figure it out from the charts in your membership book. Sometimes the old ways are best.;)

Yes, I've also noticed errors in the DIS calculator

And if you don't have the point charts handy in order to do your pencil and paper work, they are available at http://www.mouseplanet.com/dtp/dvc/7_DVCCharts/pointcharts.htm

It's low tech, just static text, and totally reliable.

Ok, did it on paper with the charts......came up with the 'official' number by hand......DVC site came up with another number all together..........Just a victim of the computer age that is going to have to relearn 'old school' style of DVC points calculations!!!
