MIL lives in Chicago and has visited us in Vero Beach twice now.
She enjoys staying at the Disney Resort in Vero and so far we have been able to do that with our points and some cash nights thrown in there. She plans on coming down at least once a year. I've called around to several local rental places and monthly rentals on condos are running around $4000 right now which is silly.
We are trying to figure out if we should just buy more points for her to use and it that would be better in the long run than paying cash.
She wants to spend about $2000 give or take a few hundred to stay around 20 nights at Vero in May. We usually book the room and stay in the room with her because it's like a little vacation for us. We were able to get a rate at the member discount for $126 a night in a garden view last time she was here.
How much are points right now if we waitlist for more Vero points and get them? We are thinking of an additional 150-200 points. We would finance because she would give us the $2,000 per year that she would normally use to pay for her yearly stay.
So, buy more points or just continue using our existing points and paying cash after we run out of points?
Which is a better idea financially?
