My BWV add-on points came through!!

Travelbug I think you were right to go to Disney for 50 points it would be very hard through resale to get the right amount with the same use year. And what a good idea to give CC- another advantage with buying from Disney. I only mention resale for the larger add ons- 150 points and above.

I have looked into resales,there are not enough around, and since I am only looking to add 100 points, there is not much savings over buying directly from Disney.
Thanks for the HH suggestion. I did not realize that that was an option. ( another thing my guide forgot!) I have finally gotten on the "list" but I am also considering just speaking directly to the supervisor like John did and see what happens.
I am upset with my guide because I contacted him a month ago and was told that no such list existed. Now I see other people are able to get more points and all I am being offered is HH or Vero. ( Not to say these are not nice, I have never stayed at them, I am sure they are beautiful resorts) I just want to go to WDW and so that's where I like to buy. I would have bought VWL if it were available because it's on property. If I have to wait until November, I may just wait for BCV, because I like the location of the Epcot resorts.
I am going to give it time, I am not in a hurry. I would not do MB,if I bought VWL, so I am not upset about missing out on that.I have been looking since Jan. but I don't feel any pressure, so hopefully something will come through on the list.

Do you think Disney is buying contracts back? I think it might be a good idea for them to do so. They can probably buy back a contract and turn right around and sell it at a profit.

If your guides first name is Chris, than we have the same person. I just don't understand why he didn't tell me the truth and be upfront with me. That way I can make my own decision about the situation. I think I'm going to try and talk to a supervisor today. Hope it's not the same person I talked to yesterday. <IMG SRC="/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif" alt="confused">

Diaman,
Yes we do have the same guide. I feel the same way as you. I wanted BWV points and he knew that. I am not sure if the incentive for them to sell HH and Vero is higher, He knew I could NOT purchase VWL so he kept offering me Vero with MB. I have NEVER used MB, when I buy I want my points, not the cash offering. I want the 11 month window, and I don't want the pressure of the 7 month shuffle. The majority of my points are at BWV, (though I have OKW points too.)
I have decided that I will jsut wait and see what happens with the waitlist. I too am going to call the supervisor and see what they have to say, though I don't hold much hope out for that.The only advantage I have is I don't feel pressed into buying. Good Luck Diaman. It seems a few others have been lucky, so maybe we will be too!

Don't give up on the waiting list! I got an e-mail today from fellow DVC members who had asked for my guide's name because their guide had nixed the waiting list and another guide didn't return their phone calls. Then they called my guide, and he immediately put their name on the waiting list. So the waiting lists are still functioning and maybe worth a try. If anyone else has good luck via a waiting list, do let us know! ? ?
