Owners of Both DVC & Wyndham --Need Input

[Brian Noble]

Does it cost $$ to borrow during the "off year" for an EOY contract, if the reservation is made w/in the 90-day Express Period?

Are the housekeeping credits borrowed along w/the points that are borrowed?

No, and yes.

If I plan on making a 90-day Express Reservation period reservation during an off year, is it cheaper just to pay $39 to credit pool the points from a prior year?

No. You need a reservation transaction either way.

If it were me, I'd want more points than just 77,000 a year. I think a nice starting point contract is 154,000 a year. Especially if you are wanting to use it in Hawaii. I think you'll find that you like the better views/higher floors and those take more points. And also, you may want to be able to book a presidential unit at Bonnet Creek if you take the notion. I would at least take a look at some 105,000 point packages and up.

Just wanted to post an update:

After countless hours of Ebay watching and boring listing searches, a nice lady on TUG emailed me a listing she saw something that fit what I wanted.

I paid via CC, read the estoppel, asked a bunch of questions. Here's to hoping that the sale/transfer/account set up process goes well. I've read about too many crazy things happening to people (months of timeshare purgatory). I "settled" on an 168K bi-ennial even usage.

Here's my question (and I don't wanna ask it on TUG, since I think my selling broker will be reading the threads)....

The Estoppel says that even though the ownership is an Even year bi-ennial usage, the seller has xxx amount of points currently available, expiring 12/31/2013.

I emailed the broker about it and he said that I don't get to use these since I"m not paying MFs on these and that the seller will have "Right to Use" through 12/31/2013. How can that be? If the points haven't already been used up, how can the seller still access the points during the transfer process? Is Wyndham different than DVC in this manner?

The listing broker told me that the seller will have access to those points directly through his own account thru 12/31. And that when Wyndham sets up my account after the transfer is completed, I just won't see those points.

That's fine with me, but I'm confused because I thought that points go with the ownership.
