One of the 7 contract people- bought 7-75 point contracts, not sure of the other. Except for one person who bought 3 -40 pt contracts, I think all of the contracts I saw were at least 50 pts.

Hmmmm, interesting. So that person is probably thinking that smaller contracts there will retain a lot more value, and that might be true.

Nope. That was me. I just figured each of my 7 kids might be interested in free snacks in the Epcot lounge* after I give up the ghost.

*yeah, yeah, perks may go away, I know.

Have you booked your first stay? We can't go until next summer unfortunately. I anxiously await the first reviews!

Sorry, just saw this! We have a cash stay booked over NYE then our first stay on points in March. Tower Studio both visits. So I will be sure to report back.

This thread is fascinating; I’m learning a lot.

I presumed (wrongly?) that in addition to short-term advantage, DVD is trying to manage what they perceive as an inevitable uptick in the resale market as resorts reach end of contract and people try to eke out some value from a soon to be valueless contract which might then worsen the ‘stay at a resort you don’t own’ issue plus mitigate the impact of SSR.
