Yup...that is correct. That is what pushed me towards resale. I was able to get a 100 point contract with a Feb UY and all '08 points available. That was better than DP's for me since the points are regular points and can be banked and used anywhere. If I would have bought through Disney, I would have had to either waitlist for a Jambo contract or bought Kidani and not had usable points until May 2009. This worked out fine. We got our contract for just under the direct price and we've already banked and rented out the 2008 points. It was like a little "rebate" off of our purchase price.
I was offered $8 off per point at AKV with a 100 point buy in (new to DVC). The developer points were only offered if you did the 160 pt buy in (in addition to the $8 off).
