Getting serious about direct - CCV or Poly?

[Brittleebee]

I am point poor once again and really need points for an upcoming stay within my 7 mo booking window. This combined with the upcoming price increase has me getting serious about a DVC direct purchase. I don’t have a resort preference as we switch around constantly and hardly ever use our 11 mo priority booking window.

A few considerations:
I do need larger rooms on average. I rarely use my points for studios.
I have stayed at both Poly and CCV and like them fairly equally.
I am a bit of a point miser.

Although I would really like 150 points, I am more comfortable purchasing 100 right now. Someone tell me why I should purchase 150.

What would you do if you were me?

Looking at your considerations...

Larger rooms meaning 1B or larger? Or do you mean actual sq footage for the rooms.
- CCV 1/2Bs are smaller, or maybe the smallest, throughout DVC
- CCV has the only 3BR between these options

"I am a bit of a point miser" screams stay away from Poly.
- Point charts are a complete separator of these two specific resorts
- 150 won't go very far at Poly unfortunately

CCV all the way in my view. Good luck either way!

This was my thought as well, Poly is one of the most point hungry resorts in all of DVC, maybe even the most. If you've already decided you need direct points, I'd go with CCV assuming you're not open to other direct resorts at this time as well.

Agree with all of the above.
CCV for the win, or even BLT if you just want some SAP+ points, but for the small difference in price (dues) from BLT to CCV and you like CCV, I’d just go that route.
