Not needed if buying directly from the developer.@AstroBlasters has mentioned waiving the title check, if I recall correctly
I would never waive it on a resale purchase.

Congrats! I just added on some Poly direct today, too. Crazy how I have the points available, but haven't received any paperwork, yet. They make it scarily easy.I wasn’t going to waste a second.. Talked to our guide today, adding on and splitting points across 3 contracts. Guide even recommended it, which our now retired guide used to frown on.
Congratulations! Glad you jumped on it while your DW was in agreement. Breaking up points and getting the TPV welcome home trip sounds like a great plan. Enjoy it!This morning, DW shocked me. She was actually talking about even more points than I was thinking. Nearly passed out because she wasn’t sure about adding on earlier this week.

Addonitis is dangerous. Many years ago, I thought we were done at 225 points. Here we sit at 750, but do plan to sell a resale contract.
We did split payment up to every couple weeks on credit cards (cash back helps) and final payment will be after the new incentives come out so we can modify if better incentives come out.
Those who add-on or join as new members, make sure to ask about a Welcome Home Stay. The sooner you know, the better. An hour after we finished, we received a callback they were able to get us Island Tower TPV for 3 nights (October) before a (rented) 5 night stay at Riviera. We even had an option for Riviera, but when she said Island Tower my wife said done before the guide could finish.
We’ll see you in the Comma Club soon!This morning, DW shocked me. She was actually talking about even more points than I was thinking. Nearly passed out because she wasn’t sure about adding on earlier this week.

Congratulations! I know you were considering it earlier in the week. Enjoy the points!Congrats! I just added on some Poly direct today, too. Crazy how I have the points available, but haven't received any paperwork, yet. They make it scarily easy.
Are you saying I should call my guide and purchase today? I think that's what I readSome good Direct Points vibes on the boards today.
At one point, DW was talking even larger. I was the one talking her out of it. Alternate universe type stuff.We’ll see you in the Comma Club soon!
Maybe 7/15 comes around and you rewrite even higher?!At one point, DW was talking even larger. I was the one talking her out of it. Alternate universe type stuff.
On one hand, hoping for better incentives July 15 (or whatever the date is for new incentives) to save more money. On the other hand, I am afraid DW will say to buy more.![]()
I know the exact contract you're talking about. Hold strong!Congrats, @maui22 and @cruisehopeful! So exciting. This really is so addictive. Last night, I made a much more competitive offer on a 160 pt BLT resale contract. I was like, this will quench my thirst and cost much less than a direct add-on because I know If I do direct, I’m going to end up going to 200 points to get the extra incentive that comes there. Then, this morning, I cancelled the offer because I was back in the direct camp. Thankfully, I have an actual trip for 7/12-7/19 so I think I might finally have convinced myself to wait until then to maybe make a final decision. Happy Sunday Points Day!
Good luck with waiting until your visit! I know how hard that is. I was looking at booking a spring stay and was going to have to borrow points from my VDH and I just couldn't bring myself to do that. The "what if I want to stay at VDH and I only have resale points available?" totally got me. My guide asked me if I was sure that I didn't want more Poly points than what I was buying. I told her that of course I want more Poly points, but I am going to wait a few more months to see if I can get VGC direct. If I don't get direct VGC in the next few months, I'll let that dream die and buy more direct Poly or VDH.Congrats, @maui22 and @cruisehopeful! So exciting. This really is so addictive.

It's too bad my guide is OOO this weekend. I only know because I spoke with him this past week.I mean…. I didn’t not say it….
I tried but I knew it wouldnt be long before the trigger was pulledCongrats! I just added on some Poly direct today, too. Crazy how I have the points available, but haven't received any paperwork, yet. They make it scarily easy.
What is it that causes this insatiable thirst for more points?This morning, DW shocked me. She was actually talking about even more points than I was thinking. Nearly passed out because she wasn’t sure about adding on earlier this week.

Right now she let's me buy because I love it and she likes it too, but I want her to be the one to turn to me one day and say ya know, i think we should add more points! Im also really scared for this prospect
