Since I don't need extra points at this moment, the obvious answer is that I should wait. However, my inner Veruca wants it now. Ideally, I would add 70 points, but that would involve financing. I could add 25 right now and then add another 25 or so in about 8 months without financing, but then I'll be paying closing costs several times and that might negate any benefit to paying cash.
Other issue is that I am on the fence about adding VGC direct. I'm in the process of my resale contract. It passed ROFR, but are there times when a contract passes and the sale is still never completed? I don't trust anything until it's actually in my account. I'm also very impatient and will pull the plug if there are any unexpected delays on the closing date. It's almost June and @AstroBlasters predicts that I will be contacted by my guide to purchase VGC direct in June (my use year). If that becomes an option, I'll want the Poly money for that.
What puts me on the fence about VGC is obviously the cost. If I use those points for WDW or Aulani, it feels like a bad use of the points. VGC is a 90 mile drive or a nice train ride away for me. It's definitely the place I will mostly stay at. That said, my waitlists come through fairly often and with it being so close, it's easy to grab a room here and there.
After all this blabbing, I guess I am looking for clarity on if I should make my inner Veruca happy or if I should let everything else ride for now. Typing it out makes it super obvious, but I think I need replies to keep coming in to keep me in check.
