Just talked to my CM at DVC, info on BCV

The rationale for buying what seems like not enough points for anything is that it gives you a "Home Base" reservation advantage at a DVC location that you may only visit every couple of years. By banking and borrowing points from your annual alotments, you may be able to pull off a pretty nice vacation every couple of years.......Happy in Hilton Head!

NJDVCmember,

That is exactly our thought process for adding on at VB.We will probably add 50 more there to give us 100 pts at VB, and with banking and borrowing we can have 200 pts to use their every other yr. Also down the road I think it may be hard to book the winter months at VB without the 11 month window.

I am SO glad I checked out this thread this morning! We're considering an add-on (already own at OKW--since '93) and have wavered from adding on 50 points to looking at 150 point resales. The resales are less expensive PER POINT but overall more than we had intended to spend right now. With my analytical mind, though, I'm having a tough time deciding--cheaper in the long run but more cash outlay now....back and forth, back and forth! Also, the price increase coming in late spring is haunting me--AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Anyway, I hadn't even considered the small add-on (50 points) and banking and borrowing scenarios--thanks guys! I like your way of thinking! We love VB but "should we purchase HH--it's closer by 5 hours, etc....." Now I have something new to present to DH!

Finally--we are very curious about the incentives for BCV and would hate to spend all our money on a resale only to wish we could've added at BCV. (Any speculations for incentives?)
