Direct *and* Resale?

[supercarrie]

We were intentionally #TeamHybrid from the start of our membership. I bought 100 BLT points followed by a favorite week 153 point contract at Riviera. We don't plan on using our favorite week for quite awhile (10+ years away).

We like BLT and the difference between direct and resale price per point at BLT specifically is substantive. ($275 versus our $120 negotiated price.)

18 months ish later, we know we need more points, but are waiting until after our February trip to decide on direct vs resale and which resort to add onto. We love all of the original 14 resorts, so thinking we'll add on more resale (for now), but could easily be swayed by more direct, especially if a good sale happens. Maybe a bit of both, tbh.

With those point numbers I assume you are booking studios. Those two rooms are quite different in size. After staying at RIV do you consider trading your BLT at 7 months for something larger or are you contempt with BLT?

Perhaps however it certainly would help those that want to try out a no humidity park experience. Without point washing a resale owner of the O14’s only option is VGC. With the point washing it would open up a lot more chances for those folks with VDH.

Not just the resorts but you get more exchange opportunities like cruises and member benefits like sorcerer pass.

Any resale contract since March 2011 (over 14 years ago!) has had restrictions, so anyone purchasing resale since that time knew their limitations when deciding to not purchase direct.

While that is correct I’m not sure why you are bringing this up as @muppets3d and my posts were replies to your post about not much benefit would be had with point washing which is what would theoretically remove those restrictions if offered.
