Say I buy a contract for 200 points with a use year Sept 2007 but I want to book something for April 2007. How is that handled? Do I have to pay cash or do I simply have the points transferred to April. We are assuming that this contract has no banked points. Or would it be better/easier/no cash if I buy a Jan,Feb,March contract?

If I buy a 200 pt contract through TTS,will Disney sell me small shares-say between 25-100 pts. or does the minimum 150 Disney requires have to be bought directly from them(Disney)?

Depending if you pass ROFR, close your contract, and wait until Disney puts it into thier computer, you will be able to borrow from your September 2007 UY points to make your April 2007 reservation.

If there are "banked" points those are used first unless they are 2006 pts that can't be "unbanked" until Sept 2007. But I believe you could still borrow UY 2007 points for the reservation.

Once in the Disney system, they will no longer be able to tell if you bought directly from them or from a resale. Therefore, Disney will sell you a small add on of 25 pts (you must pay cash I think) or 50+ points if financing.

If you want to have a different UY, when buying from Disney, you must buy at least 150 pts.

I'm sure others will correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks Casper!
Another question,if Disney has an available contract for Boardwalk,for instance, is their price pretty competitve /TTs or would they charge 101.00 /pt as they do w/SSR?

I believe BWV is $95 p/point through Disney and I'm not sure how long the waitlist is, if any. SSR is currently $86 p/point with the current incentive. If you're looking for BWV, a resale will probably save you some money, but SSR directly from Disney is probably a better deal than resale with the current incentive.

The contract may already have points borrowed from Sept 2007 use year, too. So make sure that isn't a problem. The owner could have had a final blowout vacation that borrowed all the 2007 points and used all the 2006 points.

Thanks,I'm noticing that on the resale sites. It's making me dizzy trying,at this time,to buy 2 150 pt.contracts in the same month! I think that I'll just ask Disney to find me the contracts and pay the bit more. It's worth it not to have to hassle.I'll add another 150 later.
