Thanks

For sure A

I have 21 contracts, all the same UY

 

[LYSE]

A because of UY but B comes with 80 more points and if you rent them out it brings the cost down slightly below A...but barely and I would still go A.

Same UY. Two means two membership. Being a month off doesn’t change that.

It requires a transfer to book a singe reservation using points from both.

 

[sethschroeder]

Really not much difference except contract B you are paying $14/point for the extra points which isn't terrible.

If you can use the extra points for sure then might opt for contract B but the two contracts is a little of a pain unless you use it for different stays.

I'm a big fan of different UYs, but only if you're going to space them out at least 4 months to "cover" the whole year in banking windows. A different UY by only a month is just a hassle to manage with no upside.

 

[RoseGold]

Same UY, hands down. I think there's an argument for a second UY in the opposite season if you go twice a year, but one month off is pointless.

Exception would be if your existing UY is VGC, which should never cross streams anyway.

Hello,

There is now a 3rd option, Aulani with August use year (now have September), 170 points @ $125 per point with 340 (170 banked)/170/170, still option 1?

Thank you much for the input.

Don't buy Aulani unless you actually want to go to Aulani.

Why is that Cap?

Why is that Cap?

High maintenance fees with the risk of going even higher very quickly, plus no ability to book anything at Walt Disney World at 11 months. Hawaii also has political, economic, geographical, and meteorological risks that aren't present in Orlando.

On the political front: now that the state of Florida is revoking Disney's special district, does that change the calculation in some way? Not looking to stir a partisan debate here, just trying to factor everything in, especially as I am seriously considering Aulani, but concerned about the known unknowns.

the special district isn't going anywhere. i wouldn't take that into consideration.
