I have never seen a DVC exchange chart that included value resorts. I would answer no but ask you WHY would you use DVC points for a value when careful planning can get you a great DELUXE vacation?

There are no Value Resorts (All-Stars or Pop Century) available with DVC points. The chart starts with the Moderates, CBR, POR, POFQ, CS.

if the value resorts are only like 2 or 3 pts a day and i rent then at $12 then that makes a $24-36 a night room when best ap is $59 and 1/2 of that means more days of vacation.

No you can't and if you could it would cost more points to stay at the value resorts than at a deluxe DVC resort in a studio, it simply wouldn't make sense.

You cannot use points at Value resorts, nor may you use points at any WDW resorts which also have a DVC resort. This means you can't use points at the BW inn, the Beach Club, or the Wilderness Lodge.

If the value resorts had points, it would definitely be higher than 2-3 points/night. Currently points range from 15 points (Caribbean beach, Coronado Springs, Port Orleans, all Sun-Thu, Value Season) and on up.

Comparing AS or PC room rates to PO or CS, it would seem that DVC points for a Value Resort would probably be around 2/3rds the other resorts' rates, or roughly in the 10 pts/night during value season, and up to about 15 points/night during peak season. So for example, in January your choice might be 10 points for a small room at All Stars, or 8 points for a Studio at OKW, 9 points for BWV standard, 11 points for SSR, or 12 points for BCV, VWL, or BWV pref.

I agree with Dean, although if you own DVC you could rent 7 points at $10 and stay at ASM with the cash if you wanted.

I would love to be able to use our points for stays at the All Stars and at POP the All Stars are our absolute favourite resorts.

Personally I'd love to have reasonably priced DC trade options for any and all non DVC Disney resorts. IMO, it's actually insulting to offer the trade option at such a high rate. While it's usually a good idea to have options, even it not good ones, in this case I'd rather not have them. When you can get a 2 BR at a DVC resort for about the same as a regular room at a similar quality hotel, something is wrong.

Figure weekday stays at 10-15 points and weekends at 18-30 and you should have a pretty accurate picture of what it would cost. Or simply take the moderates for standard view and use 2/3 the points for the various seasons. And given that DVC must negotiate a cash price, I'm figuring they'd actually get less of a break than they do some of the other DC options.

Oh I agree we get hosed on the use of points when transfering out of DVC to any DC hotel on the list. We fill our All Star need by going htere on teh weekends. We are using points for a week at the Cabins at FW for our 07 trip then a week at SSR and a week in our trailer at FW
