Adding on Resale Question

[DisneyStarWisher]

Right now we own 100 AKV points and 100 HHI points, all purchased directly from Disney in 2008 and 2009, respectively. We are considering selling our AKV points and adding on more HHI points through resale. In researching some contracts, I found this disclaimer on one of the websites:
To be eligible for Membership Extras, Members must own and maintain a minimum of 125 Vacation Points purchased directly from Disney Vacation Development, Inc.
I realize the requirements have changed over the years, but I also believe I am grandfathered in with my original direct purchase of 100 HHI points. This has me a little worried though that if I sell those points, I will lose those benefits. Can anyone give me any information on this?

The benefits come with the contracts and when those were purchased. Since there was no difference in 2008 or 2009, each of those contracts, individually, are grandfathered for staying DVC Y.

So, you can sell either one and still maintain the benefits. Obviously, if you sell both, you would lose them and then be required to reach the current 150 bought direct to get them back!

So we actually have two HHI contracts, and I just realized that one of them was purchased in December 2010. For some reason my mind just lumps all those points together. Anyway, would that change things?

It depends on when restrictions came in, and the size of your contracts. Someone else will know the specific timeline of restrictions better than I will. By the time we learned about DVC it was a very restricted environment with 125 or 150 required points for direct to have membership extras.

Pretty sure minimum in 2018 was 75 so I have to assume either in 2010 would still qualify but I would certainly ask member services to be safe. Congrats on more HH but we will miss you at AKV

No. Changes for resale and membership extras went into effect in 2016. All contracts you own are grandfathered!
