Curious ... every DVC resort has x number of total points sold, which is probably approx 99% of all points possible if every room were booked every night of the year. I assume that DVC holds back some percentage of points to bring rooms down for refurb, sell for cash, etc.
I just came back from BCV and I was very surprised at how empty the place seemed (no complaints) .. and it seems to me that empty rooms must equate to people not using their points because 99% of the rooms have been sold .. and there is only so much capacity to absorb these points into the busier times of year or future years when points are banked. So the only conclusion I can come to is that people are only exhaust some , but not all of their points. If BCV was that empty last week .. I can only imagine places like OKW and SSR were ghost towns during this same time.
Anyone have any idea of how many of DVC points never get used and just get outright forfeited? .. I cant imaging someone letting this happen unless they have no choice .. but the cost of DVC shoots way up for those people who never end up using their points completely.
