We have 44 Riviera points from 2024 December UY and 124 Grand Floridian points from December 2024 UY.

Riviera was a direct purchase while Grand Floridian was a resale acquisition.

Both have a December UY. Our Grand Floridian cannot be used at Riviera while our Riviera points can be used at Grand Floridian following the 7 month and 11 month rules. Our dues are current. Our banking deadline is July 31st 2025.

From our Riviera, we have 44 points available. A minimum of 40 points per reservation. IF a particular reservation requires extra points, there are an additional 76 points available to complete the reservation. I was holding them back in case we needed them but it is looking like we won't.

Grand Floridian has 124 points available though that too be increased by a little to fit a reservation requiring a few extra points.

Price per point for Grand Floridian $19
Price per point for Riviera $20

Prices are the same for a reservation or transfer to another DVC member. All reservations will receive confirmation at the time of the reservation and at any point afterward when the renter requests it.

Any reservations 30 days or less will require full payment. Any reservations for 30+ days will need to be paid in full by the time it reaches the 31st day due to the policy of placing points in holding if a reservation is cancelled between 1 and 30 days. Any reservation with a date past our banking date needs to be fully paid for by 7/30/2025.

Reservations require the names of all guests, ages of those under 18, an email address and a phone number.

Hi! I am an owner using my resale points for our Nov 2025 trip. This would be the end of your UY, so not sure if that would be a dealbreaker for you? Interested in a RIV studio for the 1st night of our trip, 11/22-23.

You're looking for check-in 11/22/25 checking out 11/23/25?
Riviera has Deluxe Studio – Preferred View for 24 points.

It is below our threshold of 40 which is more of a deal breaker than the UY. Because it is a reservation past our banking date, it would have had to have been fully prepaid and be non refundable. Any cancelations that late would almost certainly render the points useless. I know from experience.

Thanks! Yes, we are just interested in 1 night. We'll be staying Sun-Fri on our own points. Using our resale points for this trip, so was interested in a studio for 1 night at RIV since we've never stayed there. I understand it's below your threshold of 40 points though!
 
Have you considered a point transfer? Then you'd have control of the points to book with as you see fit.
The 24 points would be $480, paid before we call DVC.

I am open to that! Would you be ok with that since it'd only leave you with about 20 RIV points after the transfer?
 
I am. I have points I was holding back for a future trip but some scheduling conflicts have arisen that mean we will need to either cancel those plans or need to be more flexible than DVC allows us to be, ergo we will use our Hilton GV timeshare. It's just one DVC stay that is affected and hopefully, it stays that way. It would release 76 points back to the account which we'd either bank or rent.
 
We have a cruise coming up 2/1 thru 2/6 and I'll have intermittent internet so I may be slow in responding to messages.
 
Checking...

12 Nights Selected Check-In: May 29, 2025 Check-Out: Jun 10, 2025​


These are the only availabilities. I excluded things like Polynesian Bungalows that require something like 1100 points as I don't have enough points to accommodate such a booking. https://tinypic.host/image/2-Bdr.2O0D4B

Do you only have 44 points for transfer at Riv or would you do more if needed? Thinking 75-100.
 
Hello. I sent this as a DM also. I am looking for a transfer of Riviera points to complete a reservation for December 2025. I believe I could bank your points to use for this purpose. I need 21, but would be happy to transfer the 40 if that was what you required for a minimum. Are your RIV points still available for transfer?

Thank you.

Hi.

I’ll give Evetan83 until this evening to get back to me. I’ll need the points for that reservation otherwise. If not, you and Vicarrieous can have them.

Thanks for the reply. Does that work if you need to make more than one transfer? I know it only one transfer per use year but wasn’t sure if you had different use years?

Oh, I wasn’t aware. Does it matter if we have multiple contracts? Or is it just UY based?
