Downsizing...sell BWV, buy AULANI ?

[suebeelin]

You'll probably break even or make a small amount, which is taxable, selling your bwv points for aulani. Brokers charge 10% commission fee, and aulani is about the same price as bwv resale.

You could find a member to transfer your points (100/yr) to for at least $13pp. That's assuming you don't want the hassle of renting. There's only one transfer/yr, but I'm sure someone would jump at the chance. You basically cover maintenance fees and your other 100 points are "free". That's what I would do

We have 360 points at Aulani plus over 1000 points at other resorts. We bought right when they went on sale so,we got a good price. We usually go for about 10 days each year and stay in a one bedroom ocean view which is about 49 points a night when we go. So we use points from other resorts and have never had a problem getting rooms seven months out. But we go in April or May. Once you hit June thru August, especially for standard view, you have to book about 11 months out. We tried to go in June this year because our grandson was graduating from 8th grade and we couldn't get what we wanted. But we got May when booking Seven months out withiut a problem.

Good to know...and I'm guessing December, especially around Christmas, would be difficult to get a standard view at 7 months.
