Direct, resale, or hybrid

[tx911]

I only consider someone really hybrid if they have enough direct for DVC-Y, since a Blue Card isn’t really a thing anymore.

How many resale to be considered hybrid?

 

[UrsulaWantsYourSoul]

400 Riviera direct
350 VDH direct
100 VGC direct
400 VGC resale
So 68% direct / 32% resale

 

[RivGirl]

150 Riv direct

Would like another 150 direct (ideally at Riv)

After that….we’ll see which way the wind blows

I prefer unrestricted points, but maybe 300 will seem like enough if/when we get there.

 

[Dodgerburt8]

We have 125 RIV resale, 300 SSR resale, but can be used everywhere, and then 475 direct, with 300 at VGF and 175 at RIV.

Love that mix. Two best resorts VGF and RIV

 

[Dodgerburt8]

175 RIV Resale.

Carefully considering whether to add on 150-175 at one of the following: (1) VDH direct, (2) VGC resale, or (3) Resale SAP at a WDW resort.

210 points (between 2 contracts)- all resale at SSR. We went strictly for sleep around points bc we are happy to stay anywhere- even SSR. I'd love to sell and buy direct, but my husband doesn't want to. At this point we have bigger goals so I'm letting it be, but eventually I hope to get enough direct to be blue card el

Hybrid, overwhelmingly resale.

175 RIV Resale.

Would option 3 be resale or direct?

Resale

How many resale to be considered hybrid?

It could be 1 point as far as I’m concerned as long as you have enough direct to be DVC-Y.

 

[Sprinkles&Sprints]

Team Hybrid - with slightly more direct than resale. I’d love to increase the spread even more in favor of direct but resale CCV keeps pulling me back

 

[kanerf]

AKL 75 Resale 50 Direct
BLT 240 Resale
BRV 150 Resale
BWV 150 Resale
OKW 80 Resale 50 Direct
POLY 130 Resale
RIV 100 Resale 50 Direct

Note that while I have 150 Direct, I purchased before the cutoff long ago and have always been Blue. I am about 86% Resale and 14% Direct.

Deleted - wrong thread.

What's the smallest possible contract again? I used to think it was 25 but did I see something on these boards recently about BWV contracts in the 10-20 range?

 

[Mouseforward]

22.5 % resale once this years contracts go in and out. Sold a resale to get more direct. I have enough direct now to get a 2br when needed, so any future contracts will be small resales ( 50 pts) unless I like LSL and it combines with the cabins.

410 Direct RIV
115 Resale BW

10 pointers exist at BW and apparently OKW - you used to be able to add on what you wanted in the very beginning. I have a 15 pointer - They are super $$ on a per point basis due to closing costs

 

[byurick]

With the low point charts on those two resorts it probably made sense at the time when they were new since you could get an extra night for just 10 points in some seasons.

Riviera direct: 150 Pts fixed week (shared)
Riviera direct: 58 Pts
Grand Floridian direct: 125 Pts

Grand Californian resale: 75 Pts
Bay Lake resale: 80 Pts

My resale contracts are older, so only partially restricted.

 

[MotherOf2Princesses]

160 resale, prior to 2015 so I have the "Blue Card" privileges.
75 direct.

Yes, I want more.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen “shared” in reference to fixed week contract - what does it mean to be shared?

 

[ClaraOswald]

All resale
160 VGC
200 BRV

If we ever do direct, it would likely be VDH and not at any WDW resort.

100% Direct, but we bought our last contract almost 10 years ago...

310 SSR
100 BLT
100 VGF1
190 PVB1

Quite honestly, I would gladly trade out the VGF and PVB for CFW, but I am not much on having to do the PITA of selling, then buying, so we'll just keep trying for 7 months (well, I also wouldn't buy because of dues/restrictions/trust point reallocation potential, but I digress...)

Other than CFW, they haven't put out anything new that interests us enough to buy. We have zero interest in RIV and quite honestly, no interest in the Poly tower either (we'll stay at the longhouses) or the weirdly located LL, which really ruins the feel of the FW Settlement area. In fact, our portfolio doesn't really fit us. Since 2019, we've spent exactly 2 nights at Poly and 1 night at VGF, so we're not exactly getting the use out of our 11 month period. In that time though we've had 3 weeklong 2-Bedroom stays at Aulani, a GV at SSR, and numerous CFW stays...
