I am thinking of adding on some points

[Disney-Kim]

I got a postcard today about the price increase and told my DH and he said "well lets buy more". Oh my...

so what do you think about owing at BCV and SSR? We would prob not stay at SSR very often if at all. But its more points, right?
or no? I just want to have a few more points to be able to stay in 1 bdrm's once a while.
we will do Disney financing...so whats the least points I can buy? the postcard says that I can get MB with 100 pt purchase.

so I guess I am looking for opinions...thanks !!

my guide marc called me today and i added 100 points @$79/pt MB at SSR, so I too own BCV and SSR Feb use year! That puts me at 300 points now. I would like more BCV too, but thought I would just do the SSR at this point price instead. I am a last minute reservationer and will stay anywhere actually to just be adventurous, but I love BCV the best.

Good luck with your decision! christine

25 is the minimum--50 to finance through DVC--100 for Magical Beginnings.

Nothing wrong with getting an add-on at SSR. They will give you the same Use Year, so you don't have to play contract roulette with your banking deadlines.

If you wanted to be able to get the 11 month advantage with all of your points at BCV, you'd probably have to go resale. Resales tend to cost a bit less per point, but with a smaller contract the closing costs could push up the price significantly. If you're only looking for 50 points, $400+ in closing costs will run you upward of $8 per point. And, it may take you a while to find the resort / Use Year / contract size combo that you really want.

Good luck!!!

thanks !! I was wondering if we could get the same use year. We have Feb now. I can't wait to call in the morning and get the details.

When you add on from Disney, they will only sell you your same use year. If you are not planning to use your SSR points at SSR, I would go for a small resale contract at your home resort (BCV). I realize the resale contracts for BCV are hard to come by though.

My hubby and I were talking about this - we own at VWL and considered purchasing an add on at SSR. What do you do with a small amount of add on of points in the additional years you will have them since SSR is a 50 year contract?

That's stops us everytime...

Are we missing something?

Just curious,

You could bank and borrow, or stay in a studio, or mix cash and points if purchasing additional points would be cost prohibitive.
You could rent them, transfer them or gift them. I think the flexibility of smaller contracts is really great as there are many options.
