This year we purchased a 150 point contract at the Beach Club with an August use year. We already see that this was not nearly enought points. We are thinking of adding on in increments of 25 or 50 because we do not want to finance. If we buy directly through Disney, how will this work. For example, if we buy today, what will be our use year and when will points be available to use? Thanks.

If you buy directly from Disney, you can buy BCV points in any amount, with a minimum purchase of 25 points. Disney will match your current UY and will place your add-on contract under your current account. In fact, the only way you could get Disney to give you a different UY is if you bought a new master contract containing at least 160 points. There are two big advantages to buying direct from Disney: There are no closing costs, and the points are available almost immediately: If you buy tomorrow morning, you could probably book a trip with those points tomorrow afternoon.

It appears the current cost for BCV points is $106.00/point (see http://www.dvcnews.com/index.php/dvc-program/financial/pricing-a-promotions). Resale contracts are significantly cheaper than Disney, with most BCV contracts going for around $82-$88. However, you will have closing costs of about $322 on contracts with 25-50 points. Also, it is very difficult to find small resale contracts, and when you do you'll usually pay a premium for these very popular contracts.

Good luck!
 
So does this mean that if I add on before 12/31, they will give me 2009 points that will expire by 8/10? Also, if I buy a 50 point contract, does that mean if I decide to sell that I will sell w contracts, a 50 point contract and a 150 point contract? thanks.

if there are pts available, you could add-on as late as july 2010 and get 2009 pts.

Also, if I buy a 50 point contract, does that mean if I decide to sell that I will sell w contracts, a 50 point contract and a 150 point contract?

all of the contracts would be separate for purposes of selling or willing them to others.

if the contracts are for the same resort, they can be used as if they were one single contract - you can pool points at the 11 month window to book a single night using pts from each contract if needed.

if the contracts are for different resorts, you get the 11 month window for each resort but only for the number of pts owned at that resort. you would be able to pool the points together only at the 7 month window.
