Add on now or buy resale later

[vanstoj]

need some advice from your folks. We ahve an April use year andare members at BCV. We are considering an add on of 80 points at Vero Beach. However, because of the April use year and because we are outside our banking window for this year, we would have to give up the points that we would start getting April 1st of this year, leaving 38 years for those points I believe. We are also considering waiting uniitl next spring and buying a resale of 80 -100 points at HH or Vero which may have some banked points. In this situation is it wisier to wait for resale or go ahead and take the plunge? Supposedly, Vero will sell out by June of this year. Anyone think that Disney might ease up on buying back resales, thereby loosening the resale market a little bit once they Saratoga Springs to seel?

If you purchase an April Use Year add-on right now, they may still allow you to bank the points from 2002 (ask your guide for assistance), but even if not, you will receive 80 points from the 2003 Use Year and will have until March 31, 2004 to use or bank the points. If you wish to use MB, you may have to give up the 80 points from 2003- but will get $15 per point for them

Of course, there is nothing wrong with trying a resale either.

Enjoy!

Hi.

If you buy an add-on now you cannot bank the points. They will expire on March 31. You are beyond the banking window. I'm speaking with authority because I also own BCV with an April use year and I bought an add-on on Tuesday Feb 25, 2003 and was told that the points will expire end of March 2003.

However, I paid cash for the points and they were immediately available so I went to the trade board and transferred them to someone who had an existing March reservation. They then will give me back the same amount of points at a later date. I guess you could also do a cash agreement but I'm not sure that's officially above board...

This could work for you if you add on quickly. In my opinion wouldn't it be better to have all your points at BCV instead of a little at Vero. That way you can always utilize your 11 month window at BCV.

Hope this helps.
