We currently own 200 points at BVW however I am wondering if I add on at BCV for say 50 points, does that mean I can book a reservation there at 11 months out using all my points? I am a little confused on how owning at two resorts will benefit you? Thanks
 
This is a popular topic lately.....

No, you only get to use your BWV points at BWV and your BCV points at BCV at the 11 month window. However, you could "pool" them to make a ressie at any DVC resort at the 7 month window.
 
Many members who add on at a different resort do so to have the 11 month advantage for booking. What they do is bank and borrow and go every other or every third year.

For example, suppose you have 50 points at BCV and you want to stay a week in a studio during the Magic season of 2003 (134 points). Bank the 2002 points and borrow 34 points from the 2004 allotment to gert the 134 points required for the 2003 use year stay. Then you would bank the remaining 2004 points into 2005 and start the process again. In this way, you could stay at BCV once every three years or so.

Remember you can always use the 11 month window to book as long as you have points available at the time of the actual stay.

In between the BCV stays, you use your other home resort points to get the 11 month advantage there.
 
We have 170 at VWL and purchased 130 at BCV. We will alternate between years and get a longer vacation at the one place each year or shorter trip and invite family and/or friends.
