Add-Ons

[Mimmy225]

I was wondering how add-ons work. I have seen that you can add on with as little as 50 points and the advantage is that you can book at 2 or how ever many home resorts you have at the 11 month window.

Can you only book using the points for that resort at the 11 month window?

I think I am confusing myself so for example if I have 250 SSR and 50 AKV- I can only book 50 points worth at the AKV at 11 months then I have to wait 7 months out to use my SSR points?

I hope this makes sense to someone.....

Correct, only the points at each resort can use the 11 month priority window. You can also add on as few as 25 points if you pay cash or credit card, 50 points if you want Disney financing.

you can add on a min of 25 pts which must be paid with cash or credit card; 50 pts or more can be paid with cash or credit card or financed. Currently if you add on a min of 110 pts at AKV or SSR DVC has incentive prices and you get developer pts.

You can only book at the 11 month window where the home pts are from. So I you have 300 pts 250 SSR and 50 AKV you can only book the 11 month window of AKV with your 50 pts and only use your 250 pts for SSR 11 month window.

Hope that helps.

that is correct. waiting till 7 months to use SSR is one option.

the other option is to bank 50 AKV pts from the prior year and borrow 50 AKV pts from next year to give you 150 pts to book at AKV at 11 months every third year.

I guess I wasn't thinking of the banking and borrowing. That makes more sense of why people would buy 50 points. I just kept thinking what can you do with 50 points at the 11 month window. Thanks for the clarification everyone.
