Lots of people here on the DIS own only resale contracts!!! You will find plenty of company amonst owners who have decided that the number of options to stay with your resale points is plenty!!!
We love RIV and its our top resort...stay every trip as part of our split stay or solely when we don't split stay...so other then resale RIV, any future purchases will be direct.
But, lots of great reasons to go resale!!
