We added 100 BWV, Oct. use year, points last May and wish we had added more. Now they are sold out. No way to know if or when DVC will have any more available, although we are on the waitlist. Even if some become available from DVC, we would only get the 100 2003 points, correct? (When we bought in May, we got 100 2002 points that we banked, then 100 more coming on Oct. 1.) If we try to add on 100 at SSR, we have to take an Oct. use year and would not get any points until Oct, 2004, so would not even get a break on dues. Am I understanding this correctly? I could just kick myself in the --- for not doing 200 at BWV last May!! There doesn't seem to be much available on any of the resale sites either.
 
If you have your heart set on BWV - give the waitlist a chance. We joined the waitlist for BCV the end of July - and got a call back the very next day. We added 85, October use-year, and got 2002 points - so we had to use them quickly - with only 2 months until they expired.

I'm not sure if there's a "breaking point" - but I suspect if you purchase "any" time during the current use year - you would get current use-year points. (even in September?)

We're not interested in adding on to SSR right now - so I haven't been following the discussion on how they are pro-rating their dues... It "does" look like a lovely resort, though...
 
Had we purchased before Oct. 1, I think we would have received 2002 points and then 2003 points on Oct. 1. I could be mistaken, but that's the way I read it. Your suggestion to wait is well taken. We aren't in that big of a rush for points, but when you decide, it seems forever when you have to wait!
