Do I have it right? PLEASE HELP. LOST IN DVC

[dvc rookie]

I am buying 210 points at SS. It is good for 49 years. The deal was 10 dollars off per. point and I get to keep your first year vacation points. ~or~ recieve a complimentary vacation equal to the size of ownership?
What does this mean? And what is the better way to go?


Can anyone help?

I was contemplating the same thing (Purchasing SSR)...

The Points become available in August....So, if you're planning on travelling before August, then DVC gives you 210 points to use at another resort. If you're planning on travelling after August, you get $2100 off the purchase.....

I Hope this helps!

My points start August 2005?
If I opt to get the $2100 discount. How may total point will I have to use / borrow in 2006 if we plan to travel in let say October? Or to make it more confusing lets say May?

I need to go to DVC school. LOL


Still lost in DVC. SORRY !!

This is DVC University. If you buy 210 and you have a trip this October you would have your current year 210 and the next year's 210 that you could borrow. It would be the same for May of 2006. If you are talking about October 2006 and you bank all of your 2005 points, you would have those plus your 2006 points plus you would be able to borrow your 2007 points. That would give you 630 to use.

August 210 points : For use August 1, 2005 through July 31, 2006.
August 210 Points : For use August 1, 2006 through July 31, 2007
August 210 Points : For use August 1, 2007 through July 31, 2008

But if you sell back your 2005 points then it all changes and you would only have your 2006 and 2007 points to use. So subtract 210 from the above examples.

If you chose to go in October 2005, you would have 210 2005 points & could borrow your 2006 points (210), so, at maximum, you would have 420. If you chose to go in May 2005, you would only have the 210 that were "given" to you by DVC as your "free vacation. As I understand it, in May 2005, you would not be allowed to borrow your 2006 points.
(Someone please correct me if I'm wrong)
