How does the add-on work. This is of course all hypethetical!! Say I wanted a March use year and I call today and they have it. The current price is 84 per point (I think), do you get 2003 and 2004 points, or just 2004, if you use Magical Beginnings, do you loose your 2004 points or 2003 points? And do you pay maintenance on the 2003 points?
 
Hi Clarabelle; As I mentioned earlier, we got our 65 pt add-on BWV Feb use year. To answer you questions directly, you would keep all this year's points at the $84 a pt level, or you can use MB and sell them back at $10 per pt for $74 a pt. For VB they offered us $10 per point off thru MB where we would keep this yrs's pts, plus another $5 a pt if we sold them back (for $74 vs $69 a pt, did not seem worth it to us). I think I mentioned to you that at the current miantenence fee differential between the two it would take 20 yrs for the higher maintenence fee at VB to outweigh the higher BWV purchase price; of course we took the BWV pts anyway bcs we wanted extra 11 month reservations power.

As for your second question, I believe we are going to be paying the 2004 maintenence fees, but prorated from the time we close (assume end March so 75%). I could be wrong on that.

I thought DH had put an end to your add-on itch for this year, or has something changed?
 
I keep pushing the issue!!! Eventually he will give in just to shut me up!!! I found a small add-on 50 pts at Vero in our use year, but with closing, it really isn't worth not going through Disney, then I thought maybe I would skip the whole Vero and just add-on to VWL, that way we still have more points, and the only problem I would really have at Vero is not getting a Beach Cottage, but then again, you never know!
 
You would not get 2003 points for a March UY add-on (since we are in March). You would get 2004 points and prorated dues for 2004 (~ 10 months). We just added on at BWV in Feb for August UY so we did get 2003 points, no 2003 dues and prorated 2004 dues. We were able to bank most of the 2003 points and sold the rest.
