Anyone buy a Use Year you did not want ?

[MicheyMouse]

We are stuck deciding between a loaded contract with a Use Year we don’t really want but overall is more readily available (Dec) and a mid year stripped contract (no pts until 2026) that fits our travel months and is the one we really want. Pricing is only about $5/pt difference.

We are not currently bound to a Use Year.

How many of you just sacrificed your ideal Use Year for the better deal and tried to just learn to live with it?

Hold out for what you want at a price that makes sense.

We did. Our resale contract is April use year, which is perfect for us. But when we bought Riviera direct, because of the time we bought, we would not have gotten the current year’s points with April. So we went with June and used those points for MB.

It will probably cause some minor irritation at some point but for thousands of dollars I’ll deal with it

But the June points will be used for Riviera almost always so it shouldn’t be too bad.

We bought a loaded contract before we knew why a good UY was important to have, it was a June UY and our kids have spring break in April. We eventually sold that contract for a February UY contract, which cost us a little bit more than if we had done our research better. It was our first DVC contract so we still didn't understand the system that well.
