How would you split up Poly?

[VGCgroupie]

The boards have convinced me to just buy one.

One contract? Im still sticking to buying 100 and a 60. Best of both worlds. Small and not as small.

But you said having multiple is confusing of the same resort and uy

It can be yes. But so is having multiple contracts in the same UY even if it's a different resort. When you go to book if you aren't recording what points from what contracts are being used it can be difficult to figure that out later.

Everyone has their own opinions, but I just dont think outside of studios Poly can worth it especially when you dont have a lot of points there. I think it can lead to the need to split stay and will require stalking and stress a 7 months to get enough days in anything over a studio. It's just so so point heavy.

Then I feel like there's no direct resort to call home. I will live in an apartment forever.

Resort view one bedroom at pit is cheaper than riv You know what if my one year was now id just buy ccv. Maybe they'll have one of those sales in March

 

[Girlstar30]

I think i need to stay at og poly before making the decision. Or every other year at PIT. Im acting like i have no other points. Please excuse my thinking outloud

Not trying to talk you out of it. Just giving my take on it. If you were buying 200 points or more I think the scenario would be better. Or if you were combining direct 160 with resale poly for home resort priority. Or if you were buying not wanting villas but wanting studios.

Edit to add also I have seen that your trips aren't short trips. So maybe split stay is worth it to own Poly.

This is what I'm doing. We have similar amounts of points. Every other year AKV, the other year Poly in a 1BR. 400 points every other year should be plenty to get a decent room at Poly. Planning for RIV/AKV or other resort available at 7 months and the other year RIV/Poly

Yeah these are things that come with time. You learn more as you own longer.

I would do some real point research and see when you couldn't afford to stay at Poly and watch 7 month availability to combine points. But like I said if not buying for many months there are many things that can change before then. So I wouldnt stress over it right now.

I think you should consider pumping the brakes and actually stay at these resorts to figure out where you actually want to own. Might be worthwhile even if the incentives are changing, it's better than buying direct somewhere and then regretting it.

That is a solid plan.

@Girlstar30 loves to take several long trips. Unless she stops going as much she might have some issues. But I did now remember she actually likes to split stay so could be no big deal.

Yes if we dont go at least 10 days I dont think its worth the flight, I prefer 15-18 days so I can do 5 or 6 nights at 3 resorts. Staying at one resort the whole time for me bores me. I know i get bored easily

Yep, it's like buying a new car vs a used car. You cant sell that new car for what you paid if you hate it. You can probably make most or all of your money back on a used car if you hate it though.

Resort view one bedroom at pit is cheaper than riv

Alright, you made me go look at the point charts because I was like, what?!? So, September 1 BR resort view is 5 points cheaper at PIT than RIV. Every other season is more points at PIT.

That said, I know you had a great time at your September trip to Poly, so if that is when you plan to stay, all the more power to you. Those points will go further.
