Having the "we need more points" bug REALLY BAD!

I know I’ve said this before but IMO the sweet spot for BWV is using the points regularly during a high point season. I use my contract for Spring Break - staying at any other resort (on my list anyway!) would require many more points. So the 2042 expiration is kind of perfect - bc by that point, I won’t be limited to travel during this week anymore.

When I compare what I paid for BWV (vs Swan/Dolphin, rack rates with a discount…which you wouldn’t get during Spring Break anyway), I come out ahead.

I definitely wouldn’t want a heavy 2042 portfolio, but to complement one with longer expirations/specific use cases it definitely works!

That’s a good strategy! i’m not nearly that smart when it comes to using my points!

The headache alone of trying to get bcv may be worth the premium i haven't seen what booking at 7 months and waitlisting at 7 months is like but if I love bcv I would definitely be running the math

My Mom bought 200 SSR points in 2006. Cruised in 2007 and added on another 115 SSR points whilst aboard, same UY.

Thankfully she put me on the title. When she passed in 2017, I inherited the contracts.

So we have 315 points and don’t plan on adding on. It has been plenty for DH and I, as well as being financially manageable with maintenance fees
