How long have you owned your points?
Purchased over the last 10 years.
780 VGC
300 VDH
400 BLT

Do you feel like you have gotten your moneys' worth out of it?
Yes. The flexibility to stay in different room types, different trip lengths is wonderful.

What is the biggest point splurge you have exercised on a trip?
20 days at BLT in a studio
5 nights at VDH in a grand villa

Is there a point you expect to sell all or some of your points?
Can’t imagine selling.

Have you ever rented your points?
Nope. That feels like wasting a scarce resource.

What's the breakdown of your VGC points if you don't mind me asking

Owned since 2014 - 450 points
BCV resale
Poly Direct

Biggest regret is not buying sooner. Too scared of "timeshares" until I found out friends had bought at OKW in 2009 and they said it was the best decision they had made.
We were old when we bought in 2014 and even older now of course, so not buying anymore points. The children will take over when we're gone though hopefully 'might' still be around when BCV expires. Definitely not around for Poly expiration.

Never rented out and have no desire to. First not enough points and second I find it a little scary nowadays. I personally had one good experience renting (for us to use) and 1 bad experience renting where BWV called our rooms late at night on the last night of the stay and informed myself and my daughter (in another studio) that the owner of the points was in some kind of trouble. It was scary to get that call and thankfully I was able to borrow from the next year to cover my room and her room for that last night. I ended up hearing from the guy after posting my angst on Disboards and he did reimburse the $ but I now have a bad taste in my mouth re renting. However, I have had wonderful experiences with transferring in points from several lovely owners. 100% smooth & great process. Have done that with both Memberships for the past 6+ years.

They are all close to 200 +/- some wiggle
I bought opportunistically when I could find a good deal or double points

Jelly! I wish I was at the point in my life 10 years ago where I could even think about buying in

I feel very very fortunate which is part of the reason I can’t ever imagine selling them.
