Can I add on a small contract and then sell my larger one?

I've got DVC on the brain! I need help to stay a member but not spend so much money on points . Is that possible?

So we can really only afford to travel to Orlando every other year for about a week, so this year we are using 237 points. Here is my question: Should I add on a smaller contract for either 100 points or two 50-point or a 25-point and a 75-point, and then sell my currrent 150+ point contract at BCV? Is this allowed?

So let's say I can add on a 25-point contract today. I will get on the waitlist again for more points. Can I start to try and sell my larger contract once my smaller contract closes? Will DVC let me add-on a small contract to a 25-point contract if that is all I own? Here is the scenario, for example:

1. Buy add-on for 25 points
2. Get on waitlist for more points so I will eventually have 100 points
3. Sell current 150+ point contract
4. Now I own 25 points
5. Waitlist comes through and I purchase another smaller contract
6. Now I own 50-100 points
7. Continue adding on until I reach 100 points

Is there some rule about how you have to own a minimum number of points before you can add on a tiny amount of points? I want to make sure I don't mess myself up before I do this.

Thanks for your help!

Oh, I'm considering this to save money. I didn't really need the large contract when I bought it, but it was available. I would have preferred 100 points, to keep costs down. To go every other year, I would bank and borrow, and should end up still being able to stay in a 2 bedroom villa. Does this make sense?

Yes, you could do that. While DVC will only sell a minimum of 150 points for the initial purchase, you can purchase a small resale as your first contract ...OR... you could do what you outlined above and purchase a small add-on and then sell your original master contract. In either situation, you will still be a DVC member and entitled to all benefits and services.

And this is exactly what I'm planning to do in the next year or so. I'll do most of my stays at DVC through II exchanges.

Thanks for the confirmation that I can do this. Now I just have to decide if I can bear to part with my points ! And figure out how much it will cost to sell them...
