Hard time deciding when to purchase

[ClaraOswald]

Yeah, that's what I'm telling myself. Or that the money I save in not paying dues between now and purchase will even out any loss in worse incentives.

My husband keeps going back and forth on whether or not he wants to by between now and May THIS year to get that extra year of points or just wait until sometime after June. I think I'm fine either way so I'll likely just wait until he seems amped to purchase.

I know it makes the most sense to purchase at the END of a use year. But I think there's a slightly elevated chance of him wanting to pull the trigger on the points while we're actually at Disneyland this summer. We definitely have plans to walk over to the Disneyland hotel again. At the very least, I want to show our son the Big Thunder model in the Frontier tower because I think he'd really like that. I may also ask to tour the 1-bedroom at VDH again because why not?

Large $ purchases take a lot of planning, but I wouldn't buy anything a year or two before I needed it. If you don't mind dealing with renting out your points, you could go that route. It might be possible to transfer your points to another member. It's against the rules to ask for money for transfers, but people do that every day and they don't even try to hide it.

If you're still on the fence about which resort, I suspect VGC going on sale next month will help you decide. Either you'll be excited to buy VGC direct, you'll realize that buying direct is overpriced or you'll realize that you want VDH.

I haven't heard anything about VGC going on sale next month. Is there a thread about it? I'll have to go look. I don't often look through new threads on the DVC section but I probably should.

That said, I can't see myself buying VGC direct unless it was HEAVILY discounted.

If VGC and VDH were the exact same price direct? Then yes, I would probably go with VGC. But I don't think we'll ever see it at VDH prices, unfortunately.

There is another VGC resale available now that is "almost" a perfect fit if we want more VGC resale instead of direct VDH. That's the second one in the last week or so that has popped up.

I think the fact that neither me nor my husband want to jump on those is a bit telling on where our heads are at currently.

Here was one comment about the 6,000 points that will supposedly be available for VGC. No mention of any incentive for those. https://www.disboards.com/threads/vdh-questions-for-purchasing.3977629/page-72#post-66528794

They will be selling 6000 points in the June UY. No incentives.
