If I could trade...

[tvwalsh]

I wish I could trade my 50 Hilton Head points for 50 more OKW points so I could get a grand villa more easily!

Anyone else wish they could easily trade locations of their DVC points?

 

[Donna]

Oh yes! i would trade one of my OKW contracts just to get more HH points! You don't have an august use year, do you?

 

[tvwalsh]

I just realized how funny that would sound if your name were June!

I would gladly trade 105 BCV points to OKW points if I could!! I am not overly excited about BCV but I LOVE OKW!! DH likes those BCV points, so I am just wishing for OKW--maybe when I finish paying for the BCV points, it will be my turn to get OKW.

I'm not sure what I would do if the opportunity arose to trade our BCV for OKW. It would be tempting, but having the 11 month window at BCV is attractive as well.

 

[Donna]

LOL!
Darn, i was hoping it would be August. Not your name, your use year, lol.

I would be willing to trade a small 100 point Hilton Head Contract for a BWV or VWL contract of the same amount. I already have 300 at Hilton Head and I figure that the 300 is enough for myself. With more and more familys buying into DVC ,places like HH are going to be extremely difficult to get into especially during the summer time so having that 11 month window will be crucial for alot of familys to get into HH. Any one interested?

I woudl trade at least oen if not both of my contracts from BCV to VWL.

 

[dvcfamily41801]

Would love to trade all of our BCV for BWV.

Actually, I did trade BWV for BCV. Between the beachfront area, SAB, the better room design, and all the nice interior spaces, it was a better choice for us.

 

[ilovebwv]

We sold our OKW contract to buy a BWV contract.

So it kinda seems like there is alot of members that have swaped contracts in the past. I think that swaping contracts is really not a bad idea at all.

 

[wvalx]

I've been thinking about the possiblity of swapping points.

Is swapping points or contracts something excusively for the rent/trade board or do people feel a need for a more a static list like the following:

You could list how many points you need for which resort and where your home resort is. Also, you could detail if it is a permanent swap or not.

I'd rather have a list to peruse, instead of "bumping" posts or searching through messages. Any thoughts?

I thought to permanetly sway was an ordeal. Both parties woudl ahev to pay closing costs and pass ROFR thru Disney. And what if one passed ROFR, but the other didn't? Coudl the sale be pulled after it went thru RFOR? Or do you automactically lose it?

i would trade my 400 BCV for 400 OKW immediately.
I think. I can still get into BCV at 7 month window and I would save 50 cents per point in annual, over next 38 years or actually
$19.00 per point

THen with the savings, I could purchase 80 more OKW Points.

then I would have 480 OKW Points plus annual dues,for the next 38 years

for the exact same out of pocket cost,

that 400 BCV Points plus annual dues, will cost me the next 38years

You are correct, both must pass ROFR. I'd guess you'd have no problem getting a waiver in this situation. You'd still have 2 sets of closing costs though and I'd expect two transfer fees.

Im not sure about trading my BWV points but I really would like a BCV add on,,(now how to convince my husband is another question)

All my DVC points are at BWV and I would not even consider trading a single point for another DVC resort.
I like all the DVC resorts to varying degrees but I love BWV. Between the fabulous location and the BIG added advantage of the 2 tier pt values and now with the added advantage of guaranteed Boardwalk view villas, BWV provides not only a can't be beat location with convenience and amenities to the hilt but also additional advantages that no other DVC resort provides to it's members. Not that I am planning on selling my DVC pts anytime in the near future but these advantages are also something that can enhance the resale value of a membership.
I am not saying that I would never add on a small contract at possibly BCV someday for SAB, but I would never trade my BWV points. Nope, not in a million years.

 

[Cruelladeville]

I agree--I love my BWV points, and would never trade them, ever. I still would like those OKW points, though. I want to try a Grande Villa someday.

Thanks but no thanks! I like having my 300 points at BCV. Actually, I'd like some more! Annmarie
