Can we buy 165 points instead of 160?

Hi,
We are looking at buying at the AKV. The 160 ponts is just shy of what we would need to vacation how we would like each year. I understand that the minimum contract they sell is 25 points. We however only need 5 more points to be able to do what we want. Can we purchase 165 points in our contract, or do we have to go up in interval's of 25?
We recieved the dream book today, but havent started getting the ball rolling yet.

Thanks,

Yes, you can buy 165 points. BTW, that's exactly how many points you need for 5 nights in a 2BR villa at Hilton Head during the summer. (I know because I bought a HH contract from Disney for 165 points.) If you ever get tired of going to WDW, you can try for a HH villa!!!!

You can buy 166 if you like. Just as long as you get the initial 160 plus any more you need from your first Disney direct purchase.

The MINIMUM is 160 you can do any number higher than that from 161-2000 if you choose to.

Yes, you can buy in at any number of points above 160. DVC just requires that as a minimum for new direct purchases. I think most people tend to stick with groups of 10 because its a nice round figure, there is no restriction on going with 163, 177, etc.

We also found that most of what we wanted to do could be handled by an odd number of points. We bought in a little higher than what we estimated to give us some future wiggle room.

Good luck!
