Is my math on a direct add-on with the various incentives/discounts correct?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

We’ll see you in the Comma Club soon!
 
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!
 
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. 🤣
Maybe 7/15 comes around and you rewrite even higher?!

I know the exact contract you're talking about. Hold strong!

500 also sounds like a much nicer number on the DVC Dashboard than 460 🤣

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. :p I'm super jealous and happy for everyone who can buy resale and save big bucks. It's just not a good choice for me living so close to Disneyland in California where I'll use the majority of my points the majority of the time.

If you are patient and not in a hurry, you can always buy a very small resale and after it closes, add on as a current member. I bought a 50 point Poly in 2021 because I wanted first grabs at the intro price for VDH when it was available for sale. Not a bad way to go if you don't mind waiting a couple more months to get your direct. Plus, if we all keep hyping up Lakeshore, you might want to get in there when it first becomes available. Haha.

What is it that causes this insatiable thirst for more points?

Today i was seriosuly thinking, what if I offload my 340 blt and akv for 500 points at SSR for the equivalent price??

Im not going to 🤣🤣, but these thoughts do cross my mind 🤣🤣

But they should really do a study on DVC psychology 🤣🤣

Im hoping when we start doing one bedrooms my wife will go insane for it like I do lol.

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
