CFW incentives improved overnight

[cigarboo]

Would it make sense to buy a favorite week and "trade" out almost every year? I don't really want a whole week even if it's my favorite week. I rather get 2 cabins at the same time so I can invite friends or family, and just go for 3 days or so.

There's really no downside to doing this, but if you don't foresee ever needing that dedicated week - why bother and just buy straight points. If you just buy points it'll save you having to call into member services every year to opt out of the favorite week.

You could. I have a FW at a different resort; it is mostly a hedge against future difficulty in booking.

It would be worth reading the first page or so of this thread:

Thread 'All About Fixed Weeks (RIV/CCV/AUL/VGF/POLY/TOWER/VHD/FWC Charts)'

Be aware allowing your FW to be booked may mean you will not be able to bank the point difference between normal booking points and FW points. (More information thread)

If you have any updated FW point charts drop them and tag me and I will look to update.

The whole "quick let's make the incentives even better not long after the cycle started" thing is fascinating to me.... but I also think it just won't make a significant difference in selling points at CFW. The basic challenges of that resort still exist and $5 more off a point are probably not enough to broaden the appeal to typical DVC buyers.

What CFW needs for points to sell is subsidized dues down to $8.xx per point. That’s about the only thing that would stir a bit of interest.
