How many DVC members do you think there are?

Im going to work my way up to the comma club. After the next purchase ill be at 740 and from there i plan to take a breather lol.

I dont picture myself buying anything resale with restrictions or any more direct than minimum for perks. That kind of limits where else I would want to buy. It would be bwv in a heart beat if it weren't for 2042 expiration.

I would probably add to poly for more points at PIT, but then I mine as well go direct at the cost. This brings me back to more SSR or if this next trip to VGF is a hit then perhaps there.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for pulling this together. One question, though. Are these numbers unique members or unique contracts? If I own three contracts, am I counted once as a member, or three times in the 252K?

Great Question.

That would be hard to tell. Your 3 contracts could be counted as 1 if under the same member number.

I also wonder if they are counting spouses and when kids get added on to the membership.

If I had to guess they are just going based on Membership numbers

Could be? But if I own contracts at three different resorts under one membership number, at which resort in the listed numbers do I show up? If I am counted once in each of the resorts that I own, then there are duplicate members counted in the 252K. Or am I missing something? Not a big deal, but I am just curious about the methodology and, going back to the original question, how many unique memberships are in the program.

Very good point.

1 BR and 2 BR at VGF isn’t too bad to book because most people don’t want to waste all their points on them…

I do waste all my points on them!

Interesting to see the breakdown of size of resort and numbers of users.

True! We booked 1BR VGF for next April and 5 nights is a whopping 230 points (and that’s without weekend nights lol). Luckily there was still 7 month availability because I needed to scrounge up some more points using OTUP and transferring from our other resort.

Yes I think they are going by same resort under same membership counts as one owner, even if separate contracts and more than one individual.

I wonder if the reason DVC includes these updated in annual documents because they have to by timeshare law? Then there might be some official way they are being accounted.

They didn't include it in older ones before VGF was on sale not sure when they added it

Ouch! It’s all good though

I’m realizing we will just never have enough DVC points. No matter if it was 200 or 5,000 we’d somehow need more!
