It's Almost 2026, Would You Buy a 2042 Resort?

[HeyJanet]

We love Beach Club, so it's worth it to us. Like Brian proposed above, those are pretty much exclusively for use at BCV apart from a few leftovers that I might not be able to need/use before banking expirations.

When BCV 2.0 hits, we shall see if I buy back in, but for now it's totally worth it for us

Is it ever hard to book 11 months out?

Not when we go but we've done one and two bedrooms, so those are said to be easier than studios.

We got our double loaded BCV 200 pt contract at 120/pt three years ago, so I think we did pretty well. It was our first DVC contract (bought direct VGF fire sale after that) and if I had to do it over I'd still buy BCV.

Seems like that Adam Smith guy was onto something...

I mean, I must have gotten that invisible hand idea from somewhere!

It hasn’t been for me. Not sure about October or December (when I expect it is busy) as I don’t travel then. But I don’t think it’s hard to get what you want typically.

Buying a $100 per point contract ($100/15 years) = $6.66 per point per year
Then add dues ($9.06 for 2025) = $15.72 per point for the 2025 points, if you rent those out at $20 you are netting 4.27 per point (before taxes)
$4.27 per year net (assuming rental price goes up with dues) x 15 years remaining is only $64 per point you make back. You would never make the $100 per point back.

Lol the math is not mathing in my favor... ) It's ok...I don't want to give away all my secrets. Sorry for all the confusion--disregard.

Personally, the only 2 I would contemplate would be BCV or BWV and that is if you know you absolutely love one of those resorts, plan to use your points there and actually need points with home resort priority there, and are prepared for the value to approach 0 sometimes in advance of 2042.

This is us. Just passed ROFR on more BCV points, waiting for them to load. We love BCV, and certain times of year there you absolutely need that extra few months’ booking advantage. And DH loves that the 2042 resorts will just go poof and he doesn’t have to deal with trying to sell them (we’re outside of the US) when we’re theoretically slowing down and traveling less.
