How many Points.

[tink5]

We are thinking about becoming DVC members and I have been reading these boards constantly! I was just wondering how many points you all have. It seems like everyone says they keep adding on. If I am being to nosey, I apologize.

 

[HUFF590]

I have 150 points but only go to wdw once a year for one week so its works out great, so I guess it depends on how much you go.

 

[Chuck S]

Original contract, 3 add-ons..345 total.

 

[Disney Doll]

We started with 200 points,and did pretty well with that going a couple of times per year, staying in a 1 or 2 BR during the week, and paying cash somewhere on the weekends. A couple of years ago we decided to buy another 230 points, so we didn't have to move during our stay.

Now we have a total of 430 points, all at OKW.

Boy, 1000 point club! I'm VERY jealous!

We orginally bought 210, then added on 25,50,50.
Wish I bouhgt the whole 335 back when it was $62 a point!

 

[dianeschlicht]

We started with 230 and added 150 a year later. The 380 seems to be about right for us.

 

[goofy4dvc]

350 points. Original 150 plus two add-ons of 100 each. We own at VB, BCV, and VWL. I think we're at the level we need to be.

 

[MDonley]

We started with 230 points at OKW in 1994. Added on 55 points at VB when they started to build that resort. We also have HGVC ownership at Sea World.
Yes, we've been bitten by the add-on bug, but managed to squish it each time! hehe!

 

[jel0511]

We started out with 175 points, but 3 add-ons later we're up to 425. I'm probably be in the market for another 100 - 150 points in about 3 more years.

 

[mac_tlc]

Originally bought 230@ $51 in 1992 , then add-ons of 25 & 30 for a total of 285. It has worked well, but we are now looking for about another 100. All at OKW.

[POOH&PIGLET]

We have 250 pts at VWL. Its been great so far. Enough for a week or so in a 1BR every year.

We just had our 3rd DD, so we will need some more points for stays in a 2BR in a few years.

 

[BostonDisneyKid]

I have 370 OKW points currently and have been contemplating the 130 add-on offer at SS w/ 2 free AP's. I was planning on purchasing a smaller add-on contract of 50-100 points next year but the AP's are tempting... Decisions, decisions, decisions!!!


As for tmc2469 with 3000 pts, all I can say is... WOW!!!

 

[Laurabearz]

See HBC post.... we are in there.

But we decided that the majority of our trips over the next 10-15 years would be DVC trips. We fell in love with the 2 bedroom units, service, and such.

So our 4 DVC trips a year are all covered on points....

 

[debloco]

We are closing tomorrow on 250 points at the VWL! We had wanted more to begin with, but this contract was pretty good so we went for it. So the add-on bug has already bitten us-we're looking for a BWV or VWL contract of around 100-150 pts that hasn't been "stripped". Good luck with your decision! And you're right-these boards are great! They really helped us decide about DVC.
