Woo! We just added on and now have a total of 1010 pts!

AKV - 560

VGC - 150

Aulani - 300

If anyone would care to share, I am curious... to those who are in this club, do you own all your points in one resort or multiple resorts? What about UYs (i.e. do you have more than one)? Thanks. Just fun to know! I hope to join you some day, but it may be awhile...

We own most of our points at BWV (where we most like to stay) but bought 230 points at OKW so that we could occasionally book a GV there at 11 months (OKW GVs are a huge bargain). All our points are the same use year (Oct.) because it is easy and because we never go to WDW in the summer.

Contrary to popular belief, I own way less that 500 bazillion points. I have them spread across six resorts - all in the same UY (March).

I'm going to be rebalancing my points by selling some AKV to buy more BLT and/or BWV points - or maybe some new points at the new DVC at the Grand Floridian.

Congrats on you membership to the 1000 points club.

I see you like to spread you points around like I do. I use to own at VB and BWV but sold them. Now I can't understand why I did that!

Thanks. I like to be able to take advantage of the 11 month window at different resorts. I actually just recently bought BWV and VB because of the value I got from resales.

VB

We only have a Feb. use year and that works perfectly for us. We own at SSR, BCV, BLT, AKV, & Aulani. We need the 11 mo window as I am a teacher and stuck vacationing during peak times.

 

[jcf]

Sold BCV, BWV and VWL when BLT started...

BLT = 1765 but just sold down to 1355 and depending on the VIP tiered plan will likely fall out of 1000 point club by end of 2012...

Target 700 - long term hold...worried about further restrictions hurting re-sale value...o/w would have kept more long term...

 

[MrsG]

Anyone hear any news about the supposed VIP tiering system? Is DVC really going to implement something for sure?

 

[DVC Dude]

Add me to the list.

I bought 1,800 points directly from Disney over the past 10 years, but sold off 700 VWL.

Thus, my current count is 1,100 divided between BLT and SSR

 

[JimC]

Done. Welcome DVC Dude, jcf and Joey7295

Hello JimC.

Please take us out of the club. We recently sold all 1675 points and the last of our 11 contracts closed late last week. We know at least one of our contracts was purchased by another DisBoard poster and I hope they enjoy them as much as we have.

Here are a few stats for those of you who find numbers interesting:

Owners since 1995
Initial purchase in January 1995 - 210 points
When we decided to sell 2 months ago we owned 1675 points all at OKW
62 stays totaling 325 nights
8 DCL cruises totaling 44 nights on board
17708 points deposited into our memberships
0 points lost or expired
Dues paid $62,888.81

 

[joksten2000]

Never kept track of points deposited into our account. We've had 12,000 points deposited spent 180 days on the Seas, 26 days at WDW. Spent $76,825 on the points and $43,520 on MF. Figured we've had $143,500 in vacations.

Since we are retired we rent a 4BR house with pool in Davenport for 4 months and buy an AP so kind of fooolish to use our points at WDW.

Can never put a value on the memories as we take the whole family with us on the vacations. Watching the little ones having the time of their lives makes it all worth while. DVC is the greatest!!

...spent 180 on the Seas...

Nicely done, I'm impressed.

Since we are retired we rent a 4BR house with pool in Davenport for 4 months and buy an AP so kind of fooolish to use our points at WDW.

We've been retired since the Summer of 2008 and we no longer feel the need to vacation at WDW. That is the primary reason we sold our memberships. If the need to vacation at WDW returns we may very well rent a house off site or possibly even consider becoming members again.

Can never put a value on the memories as we take the whole family with us on the vacations. Watching the little ones having the time of their lives makes it all worth while. DVC is the greatest!!

Agreed.



Here's another stat that I present to support that DVC is the greatest:

Price paid for 1675 points $99,081.88
Gross proceeds from the sale of 1675 points $98,530.00
Net proceeds from the sale of 1675 points $88,677.00

Very nice use of your points.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but based on your 62 stays, what was your average unit size?

Very nice use of your points.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but based on your 62 stays, what was your average unit size?

I'd say 95% of our stays were at OKW and the breakdown looked much like this:

3% Studios (Almost always gifted stays to our nieces and nephews)
67% One Bedroom Villas (Usually when traveling just me and DW)
20% Two Bedroom Villas (Usually when staying with invited family or friends)
10% Grand Villa (Usually DW during her girls only trips)
