First, is there a difference between having two memberships or two contracts?

Second, if I already have contract at one resort and I want to buy points at another resort, but do not want to add-on, what's the minimum number of points I can buy? Is it less than the 150 minimum for new people? Would this mean I have to memberships?

Thanks, John
 
Yes, there is a difference between 2 memberships and 2 contracts. There are 2 situations where you would need 2 memberships: 1) you have different use years 2) you have different owners (just you on one, you and spouse or someone else on other for example) If all information is the same it would be two contracts (closing and deed) but one membership number.


"Add-ons" can be as low as 25 points if they are the same use year as your current contract even if they are a different home.

Hope this helps

I think once your a member your a member, and any additional points would be an add-on. I addon only 29 points, at the same resort and use year that I already had. I am pretty sure you can buy at different resorts and buy minimal points. But not sure why because if you want the 11 month window at a specific resort, you would need enough points, but you could bank and borrow to get them.
 
If you buy an "add on" from DVC, it can be for any DVC resort (if available), must be 25 points minimum, and must be the same use year of one of your existing contract(s).

If you buy a resale, the 150 minimum doesn't apply, but Disney can always exercise ROFR on a small contract. I understand that there is a minimum for a resale, like 25 points.

Resales will be seperate contracts, unless they are the same use year of an existing contract, then they are treated like an add-on (the contract number is suffixed with 001 for the added points).

Some people shy away from multiple contracts, some don't. Hasn't been a problem for us.

Good Luck.
 

You can buy any resort DVC is selling for a min of 25 pts cash or 50 if you finance. It must be the same use year or at least 150 points. You can buy anything resale with the pros and cons of doing so.
