Current cost per point Aulani and Poly?

[butsy113]

What is the current cost per point for Aulani and the Poly through Disney?

 

[acrozier22]

I believe they are around $160 through Disney. Aulani can be purchased on the dvc-resales.com for around $110-$120. I personally think the resale market is the way to go unless you are absolutely certain you want to stay at Poly every time you go and need that 11 month window. There are no Poly's available in the resale market right now.

Thanks you! I am trying to educate a friend who purchased onboard DCL. I have recommended they cancel and research. Direct is definitely not the way for them to go, but it's not my decision. I really think they would be happier with another timeshare, to be honest.

Poly is currently $165 per point. Can get resale at other resorts for more than 50% less. I just bought animal kingdom lodge for $75 per point

I try to stay away from giving advice to folks on how to spend their money. My wife and I will only purchase through resale because of these reasons:

1. Price. Save thousands.
2. We want to stay at different places each time. We are not committed to one location. We LOVE Bay Lake but if it's not available at 7 months, we stay at Saratoga. No big deal.
3. We think (our opinion) that using our DVC points for a cruise is foolish. We would rather just pay cash. Pending on each families income level and yearly expenses, this opinion would probably differ.

I agree. Animal Kingdom is a great buy.

Totally agree! I am trying to walk a fine line. I am just giving her places to research and read so I can back off and only answer questions, thanks for the thoughts!

The current price for non owners is $168 as of Nov 3rd.

The current price for owners is $165 and will increase to $168 on Dec 3rd.

That's Poly, not sure if Aulani is same

I respectfully provide opposing information - there are a number of Poly resales on the market right now. If they want Poly and they are patient, they could certainly pick up a better deal than direct. But unless it was $20 or more per point lower than direct, I'm not sure I would suggest the bother.

Really? Where? Sorry. I just checked the main resale site and didn't see anything right away.

I pulled up the email so it's both Poly and Aulani.

I'm a member so my email said Dec 3.

Non-members got emails that said Nov 3.

Bought Poly direct and instantly regretted it. Cancelled it 5 days later and purchased at AKV for less than half the price point of the poly with all 2015 and 2016 points still available. still going to stay at the poly next time we go I think. Resale is the way to go! Purchased from the Timeshare store but I really don't think it matters much. as long as you can get a good price. paid $75 a point, which seemed to be cheap for a contract with so many points currently available.

That's really good for loaded contract. Most of those are over $85 per point.

It was a great price. So great in fact I had to go back and verify. I was wrong, we paid $85 a point.

We just paid $75 per point for AKL but no 2015 points but all 2016 and beyond

I saw a poly resale with 50 points this week for $180
