Anything new on BCV in NY yet

[Peterd]

Anything new on BCV in NY yet? I was going to rent points for an upcoming trip, but was thinking of adding on again. Does anyone know if you can use the points quicker if you pay cash or finance? We usually finance and pay it off with the next years taxes, but if we could make the ressies sooner, we'd pay cash. We have two other friends who want to buy now, to upgrade rooms in Nov., and would also like to know.
