Am I allowed to be nosey and ask how many points you have?

[Tara]

Okay.. I might sound like a total idiot here... I feel dumb asking.. but...

Why do you buy points at different places? Like, what is the point of having ... 100-200 at one resort and then 50-100 at another (or any other amount.. I just used them as an example)

Thanks for all your help and input!

For us, we mostly want to stay at BLT. But it would be great to have a smaller set of points at other resorts so that with banking and borrowing, we can stay there with home booking advantage every 2-3 years. For instance, 75 points at BCV would get us 5 nights in a 1br in pretty much any summer month and we'd have a few points left over in many other warmer months in seasons requiring fewer points. 60 points at OKW would get us 5 nights in a grand villa during early December every 3 years. For things like a grand villa, you REALLY need that home booking advantage...or a tremendous amount of luck and good timing.

Plus you can combine your points for bookings at the 7 month window or closer in whenever possible, giving you options for longer stays, more frequent trips or bigger accommodations.

320 at SSR (2 160 pt contracts) DH keeps mentioning BLT which is quite shocking to me as I thought I had to "push" DVC. I'm not complaining - just confused!

 

[Dizzy over Disney]

What is BLT?

 

[Good Ol Gal]

What is BLT?

Bay Lake Towers (Contemporary Resort DVC)


We have 535 SSR and 148 VWL = 683.

And to think, it all started with an initial contract of 175 pts

Hi
We have 300 at SSR and 400 at AKV. 700 total.
I'd like to get a 100 BCV add-on...we'll see

 

[photobob]

I feel like I'm limping into this thread with my measly 180 points at SSR! I'm very glad to have them. I'd like to add on as well but no time soon. Still trying to get one through college and another one to go!

 

[Buckeye Fan]

We have 3 contracts, and a total of 540 points:
* 120 - SSR
* 270 - SSR
* 150 - VB

 

[disneymom8589]

450 points - 325 at SSR and 125 at AKV.

 

[Kmango]

Currently, we have 310+100 OKW, 200 BCV, and 200 SSR, for a total of 810. However, we're currently doing some selling and buying, and will hopefully end up with 715 soon, including points at BLT and AKV.

 

[ILuvCrush]

250 AKV (well I guess not "officially" yet...we are supposed to close 12/13)
We debated between 200 and 250... but everyone says they wished they had bought more...so we did 250.

The sad thing is...we haven't even closed yet...and I'm already thinking...350 yeah 350 would be better
