We submitted a contract and deposit for 50 points at VWL through a resale at $65 per point with 50 banked points. Original listing was $68, but seller accepted our $65 offer. We do not own any other DVC. I have read elsewhere on this site that it is acceptable to purchase less than 150 points via re-sale. (but not directly with Disney)
My question - After this is processed would Disney allow us to purchase another 50 or 100 points (directly with Disney) as an add-on if we don't already own 150 points?
We will never need anything bigger than a studio, always visit WDW in the off season, and might even go only once every two years. We wouldn't want or need to purchase another full 150 which would be 200 with our present 50, however I'm thinking the 50 by itself is much to low. Banking and going every two years we would have 100 points to work with. In the off season and avoiding the weekends we might still be O.K. most of the time. But at least another 50 points would be better.
I understand we would only have the 11month rule on our 50 points at VWL and the other 50/100 at Beach Club. But sounds like we could combine our points for 7 month reservations at other locations.
I suppose another option would be to see if another 50 to 100 VWL points might show up on re-sale with a use year close to the one we already bought. (small point contracts don't seem to come up very often).
Thanks in advance for your suggestions/thoughts. Warm Regards Mike
