Lowest to Highest Resale Price DVC Resorts

[PolyRob]

My fear with purchasing restricted resorts resale points is the wear and tear the last couple years before a rehab. Resorts are amazing when they first open. Sadly, we had a couple stays that made us realize rehabs don’t always happen as soon as they should. YMMV.

Another great point. You may want to swap in the 7-month period when the rooms are looking particularly tired OR if there is a major renovation going on.

I also don’t want to commit to staying at one resort every year (even though it would be a terrible use of points to use my BCV/VGC anywhere other than the home resort—but it may occasionally happen with orphaned points (just happened with 2 banked VGC points I can’t make use of at home due to a change in plans but if it was restricted resale they would just be gone instead of being spent at BCV)). It’s even more complicated because not only can you not transfer them to another membership to stay elsewhere during remaining life UY, but you also can’t mix any of your other resale points at other resorts if you need more points to snag an available room category at your restricted resort. I guess you can buy OTUP if you are only a few points shy and haven’t already done so?

In any event, I don’t see restricted resale making sense for most people who don’t have tremendous predictability year after year.

I feel the same way about VGF points. It would pain me to use them anywhere besides VGF or VGC. That's when I am tempted to buy SAP, but then I say why not just get more VGF resale? Then none of my offers are accepted and I am tempted to contact my guide for more direct
