All About Fixed Weeks (RIV/CCV/AUL/VGF/POLY/TOWER/VHD/FWC Charts)

If you were already an owner, your minimum was 50. That really doesn’t make sense.

It was just new buyers that were dropped from 150 to 100.

Agreed. I did end up buying multiple contracts 50 points each. Maybe I am misremembering. I was relatively new to DVC and just accepted what the guide told me then. Didn't pursue a FW after that.

IIRC, the minimum buy-in for new buyers used to be 150, but has been dropped to 100. Would that explain it?

This is what I was told by my guide even though I was already a member.

I remember VGF/Big Pine Key did not show FWs or sell them under 150 points when the Feb 2022 chart was released and it initially went on sale, but DVC refreshed the charts in spring 2023 around when VDH went on sale dropping the new member threshold to 100 points. I even posted about it this thread. These were the screenshots:





Spring 2023 is when RIV Tower Studio FWs opened up and showed on the chart. IIRC @intamin almost bought a FW in a tower studio summer/fall 2023?

I did almost buy one around that time but opted for a standard studio instead because I figured my family would be more likely to use that insteadm

I made the same call as a frequent solo traveler- duo studios are IMO a 1-2 night thing not a week

Is there a list of Riviera fixed weeks sold? I would consider a 1 or second week in May SV studio fixed week for my add on so when BWV is done I still have my May week. I wonder if one is available.

Yeah, I could call a guide but I want to wait for my poly sale to close before I start with a new guide.

My old guide abandoned me and had not reached out in 4 years since the initial purchase even when I paid off my loans.... not the best salesman. Looking to find a new one.

My original Guide retired, and the replacement Guide was "OK" - but we met a new Guide at the Disney Springs Member Lounge last year, and we are very happy with her. PM me, and I will give you her info..............

I own a resale fixed week 47 at VGF and it’s only 158 points. It looks like the original owner purchased their fixed week in 2014. Did the point charts change since then?

Thanks, I used a guide recommended by @VGCgroupie and got a week 49 SV studio at RiV, plus he sold me the first 25 point contract for RIV he has ever written. I was happy with him, he gave me availability on 4 weeks in a few min and got an approval to bundle the 25 point into the 135 point without making me pay cash for the 25 point which is not always allowed.
