new points chart

[spiceycat]

anyone else nervous that the new points charts are only showing 2009 - not 2010 too?

Do you mean you're nervous that DVC won't be open in 2010?

thanks for joke!!!

no worry that DVC might finally be adjusting the points....

since they generally put out the next year at the same time.

don't have several thousand points - like some of you.

only have a few hundred (very, very few)

I expect the 2010 point charts to be published very soon - it's usually been in late October/early November in the past. In this case, I think the recent changes to the 2009 charts were made only to upgrade the THV category at SSR and BLT - since both are opening in 2009.

I expect that the 2010 charts will be out soon as in the past ... and I don't really expect to see any changes in the point charts except for the usual changes to the Thanksgiving and Easter seasons.

Nothing to be nervous about, Pat!

I was under the impression that DVC could not raise the # of points needed for their DVC properties. When a new one opens they can set the points for that resort at what they want but does it not stay that way till your contract expires ?

They can never alter the total number of points needed for the year at a given resort, but they are free to change the number of points needed for a given night or season or view, so long as they change a different night or season or view to even it out.

So, for example, they could increase the number of points needed to stay in a standard view studio in December, but they'd have to lower points somewhere else on the chart to compensate.

DVC has done a reallocation of points only once - in 1996 for OKW - and at that time they raised some nights by a few points and lowered other points by a few nights and made no changes to many nights.

Since 1996 there have been NO CHANGES to any point charts at ANY other resort. I don't expect any changes to ANY point charts at ANY resort for 2010 (or at other year in the near future).

Stay Tuned!

Not nervous ... but looking forward to seeing the points for Grand Californian Villas!
