800 points left for September Use Year at BCV

[poj7]

Hi.

A friend of mine was on the wait list for BCV points and was called today (Labor Day). There were 182 April Use Year points left (which he bought) and 800 September Use Year points available (which he did not buy). He was told that the 800 points just "came on". Thought those of us thinking about adding on may be interested in this info.

Aside from people not completing contracts, how do points appear like that? Is there some shifting between use years to consolidate or is it strictly buy-backs from ROFR and contracts fall throughs? Anyone know the innerworkings? There is a finite amount of points, right?

for the 50 BCV points I was waiting for - August use year.
My guide had told me that the points become available when financing falls thru, or Disney exercises their ROFR. Maybe they have the points, and they just let them go a little at a time at the end. You know how it is at Christmas time when a certain toy is almost impossible to find? It makes everyone crazed, and they end up trying to get that toy even if they didn't want it! They figure they HAVE to have it if it's that hot! Well, maybe DVC works the same way!!!! Maybe they say there aren't any points left so people start to panic!!! LOL! I know I did!!!!!

Huh. Wierd. I just got off the phone yesterday with my DVC contact (forget what they are called) to buy BCV and was told it sold out 3 wks ago. Now I'm SAD as well as Grumpy. :lol:

Since we have no interest in Boardwalk or the new Saratoga (we want access to Stormalong Bay), we are now on a waitlist. I was just looking into the resale market when I read this thread this morning.

I wonder why he didn't try to sell me those Sept. points instead? Oh well, I'm still new to the DVC stuff, maybe there is something I don't understand...

Grumpy37,

Call your guide back and tell him/her that you read there were 800 pts left. See if they will sell you some of them. They may say that they are all for add ons but you never know.

I read here a few weeks ago about BCV pts coming off the waitlist and called my guide and told him so. I had 150 pts the next day.
