Oops, I did it again!

Bought another 50 points at AKL this afternoon after looking over what was available in the resale market. Part of my plan to stay in one bedrooms most of the time. Wanted to get the 2021 points (which I did) and be able to save them to next year right away which I will do as soon as they post. Why AKL? Well, I really like the resort, own some points there already and at $186 direct is still a pretty good price. I am sure that price will go up soon. A 2057 expiration date is pretty good too.

We love the 1 bedrooms at AKL. But too cheap to buy more points.

Congrats! We have a contract at AKL too.

Posted and banked. Boom!

Dang, direct sure is fast! I'm thinking about adding on at AKL for occasional 1BR trips, myself.

Adding on a small amount like 50 points is a no brainer for direct IMO. Resale contracts for those small point amounts are over priced and normally fairly stripped. Getting full points (and a lot of times basically banked points depending on UY) within a few hours is the way to go for the very small difference in final cost.

Congrats! How many total points do you have now?

 

[kanerf]

Currently at 608 points including this last 50.

We are looking into getting a direct 50 point contract at AKL too. Just wondering because our points are resale. If we just get 50 points, could those points be used at riveria or future resorts or is that only available if you buy 150 points direct?

 

[kanerf]

I think you just need direct points for Riviera, not a Blue card. I qualified for Blue when it was a lot lower than 150.

I’ve been thinking of adding on 50-75 AKL points direct too! Resale prices have gone up so high that there’s not much incentive to not just buy direct on a small contract. I like the option of being able to use them at RIV unrestricted too!

We currently own at SSR. Should we buy at another resort or should we just buy more points at SSR. We have booked 3 stays and none have been at SSR so far. Would like to stay there once. I personally like AKL but my family likes some other resorts but those direct points are too much for us

If you go with a different resort, you can use those points 11 months out at those resort, and combine them with your SSR points at 7 months for the other resorts…except RIV…only direct owned points can be used there unless you have grandfathered resale.

That's the dilema. We are from Arizona. We think that the price of DLT will be priced really high, more than what we are wanting to get a contract for, so getting SSR or AKL is the best choice.

Do you happen to know what the add on offer is for AKV?

Put in bid on 50 pts at BLT. Accepted and signed the contract. Now wait for ROFR.
