DVC Direct Price Increase Coming February 2026

[Brian Noble]

But I really don’t need the points yet, and may not for several years.

This year's increase is more or less in line with inflation. I would not buy just to get "a deal"--especially because the ROI of renting out full-frieght developer points is also not great. If you can use them? Fine, buy them. Otherwise, wait until you need 'em.

This made me curious about historical pricing, and here is what I've dug up (using Riviera as a benchmark, not factoring in any incentives):

	Old Price	New Price	Increase ($)	Increase (%)
2020		195
2021	195	201	6	3.1
February 2022	201	207	6	3.0
December 2022	207	217	10	4.8
January 2024	217	225	8	3.7
February 2025	225	235	10	4.4
February 2026	235	243	8	3.4

I’ve never been able to part with those current UY points. Those points are priceless while our girls are young.

Saving money is only a small part of this equation. Very strategic, but also with a lot of emotion! We want our portfolio to be efficient, flexible and future/succession resilient. That’s the goal anyway.

Dopamine hits?

This! This is my bank account's biggest problem

My account is strung out on dopamine as well. I'm an innocent bystander.

My thoughts exactly.

See I was the opposite. That MB check felt like free money, it was great. (I know it wasn’t)

It's been a while since I've purchased enough points to qualify for MB. I miss that dopamine surge when the check comes in the mail.

I agree generally with the wait until you need the points to buy part, but I do think that equation might change if you want direct RIV points, since it will likely be sold out in the next year, or if you're interested in the CCV "flash sale" since we have no idea when they might put direct CCV points on sale again. I have to think, once LSL goes on sale, it is unlikely we'll see a CCV sale until LSL is sold out.

And, thus, that is part of how I will likely rationalize myself into some direct CCV points .
