New contract with different uy?????

[ajasmom]

HELP!! We currently own 150 SSR August UY. I really want/need more points. I was thinking of buying 50 - 100 pts with a Jan - March use year so when we wanted to travel in the summer I wouldnt have to worry about cancelling at the end of UY. I would likely use bank/borrow to have enough points for the new contract. How difficult is it to manage 2 contracts with different UY?? Any input will be appreciated. TIA

It requires keeping track of two different banking deadlines. But I haven't had an issue with having two different UYs.

Two UYs, two accounts, two member numbers, twice as much work.

I would say it depends on how you want to use the points.

If it is entirely two separate resorts for the purpose of booking at two separate resorts at 11 months I would say not that big of a deal.

If you think you might want to regularly combine the points to book the same resort at 7 months I would have them in the same UY.

We own at AKV and want to use them to stay all over WDW. We recently added on at VGC with the sole purpose of staying at VGC and booking at 11 months. We waited for the same UY but to be honest I'm not sure in our case it matters as we always plan on entirely separate bookings between the two sets of points.

It is all managed under one online account which makes things easier, and yes two banking deadlines but it is only two days per year so manageable iff you are organised which you kinda have to be to manage DVC anyway.

We have two UY's now and I wasn't thrilled at first, but now I like it as I have June and Dec which allows me to book trips using points from the UY that fits better for travel.

We own at BWV and BLT, our two favorite resorts. I have both BWV and BLT in the Dec contract and just BLT in June, with the eventually hope of adding on BWV with the June UY.

It's not that hard to manage so far but we own enough in each contract to book what we want the way we want, so that helps. We don't necessarily need to use banking/borrowing to make it work so I am sure that could play a different role.

When we originally bought with a June UY, summer and fall was our main time of travel. Now, I am finding I love to get away for Memorial Day weekend--its when we get extra days off if we don't use all of our snow days--and a June UY is not good for that at all. Now that I have a Dec UY to pull from, it makes it a lot less stressful to book those trips, knowing I might have to modify it come April 1st, depending on what happens in the winter.

If you are summer travelers, then having a UY that works for June/July trips might not be a bad thing.

Good luck!

Thank you for all your insight. I think ill try to find a small contract but at this point if you dont live on the computer its tough to get one.
