I'm sure this info is somewhere, but what is the max # of points that Disney will let you own (dreaming for when I will the lottery!)

We just became a member of the 500 club. Is there such a thing?

I just want to know how all of you can afford that much money! I only have 225 pts at the boardwalk and cannot afford to buy any more at the price they are charging! Also how can you afford maintence fees?

It used to be a max of 2000 at a single resort and a total of 5000 points.
They raised it to 4000 points at a single resort and 8000 combined.

(And that's per contract, so a couple could double or triple that amount with individual and joint accounts)

We buy when we have extra money, rent off the excess points to cover maintenance fees.

If married, you can have contracts deeded to husband and wife, husband only and wife only and triple your allowed points.

ok if you have to rent to pay for maintence isn't that defeating the purpose of having those points? Why not sell them and you wouldn't have to pay maintence on them?

Well what you don't rent you are using for free.

We have our MF budgeted for, just part of vacation fees. We do not rent.

Just so you know...the itch will STILL not go away.

Thank you

Just so you know...the itch will STILL not go away.

I know Been through a few bouts of addonitis We started with 180 in 2006 and now are at 1000. If the Poly becomes a reality I am sure the addonitis will flare up once more

 

[shortypots]

We have 550 now, and trying to convince DH that we need 100 GFV pts. He's in China this week, so not sure when I will convince him.

We own 800 plus and are still borrowing, in fact we are half way through the 2014 year and will use it up next February. Rent them off?? We need more just to take care of the grand kids, adult kids and friends. Now I need to call Bernard and see about VGF, opps can I use that name? If not you Mods know what to do with it.

By the way, thanks to all the Mods for taking care of these DIS boards. You all are the best!!

[dwight16]

i would love to see how many of these points expire unused.....

 

[deebits]

Please put us at 1580. We just added on a 200 point contract. We also already borrowed into the next year and hope this will level us off.

Agree. I would not want to pay the MF on these. Yikes! I will be happy with my 150 points and one MF!

 

[Countryrunner262]

Our dues are close to $7,000.00 so we rent to cover the dues.

That's great you enjoy it, but if you are renting because you have too much, why add on? I couldn't even image MF that high.
