Buying points from Disney

[chuckcorden]

Can someone point me in the right direction for getting information on Disney selling, on the resale mkt, points for DVC resorts such as BCV or BWV. (I don't mean the Timeshare Store.) I like to pick up 75 or 100 points but I think I want to try to buy them from Disney first and, if not successful, then go the Timeshare route.

If you are not already a DVC member the min amount of points you can purchase is 150. To purchase less you would have to use a resale store, like the Time Share Store. Even if you wanted 150 points you may run into problems purchasing them from Disney.

Good Luck!

As Mentioned above minimum entry purchase directly from Disney is 150 points, once you are a member you can buy smaller contracts.

Also Disney is no longer selling BWV and BCV points you would have to buy from a reseller to get those. Disney is still selling SSR point and I think they are doing the presell for AKV.

From your tag, you're already a DVC member, right? If so, you could get an add on through Disney, for which you wouldn't need to meet the minimum (150 point) requirement. (This is increasing to 160 soon, might be March 5, but I'm not positive about the date.)

At any rate, you can buy contracts directly from Disney, a minimum of 50 points if you need to finance, 25 if cash.

If you Are a current DVC member, you can get other resorts besides SSR (and AKV in the near future), but you might need to wait a bit until the points (and Use Year) you want become available.

Look over on the DVC forums. If you do a search, you'll be able to get an idea of the current wait times for points at the resorts other than SSR/AKV.

Hope this helps.
