Purchasing OTUP/Membership vs Contracts

[Little E]

Hello Disfriends!

I'm dumb, and I kind of need folks to explain some thing to me like I'm five. I'm wondering about OTU points as they relate to a resale contract.

DH and I purchased two GF contracts direct in 2022 with a February UY. We use all our points in both contracts every year, and I have always wound up purchasing a few OTU points to round out a reservation. I even bought MMB for 2026 because of the appeal of the bonus OTUPs. Like many fellow DVC folks, we have been suffering from a bad case of add-on-itis, and we just pulled the trigger on a resale contract at BWV with a March UY. We are in the early stages waiting for ROFR. But, if we ultimately pass ROFR and close on the BWV contract, does this mean we have two memberships because we will have two UYs? One membership for the GF two contracts and a separate membership for the BWV contract? I'm getting tripped up between contracts and memberships.

If I have this part correct, does this mean I have the ability to purchase OTUP separately for each membership? If so, what does that look like/how many OTUP can I purchase? And how frequently can I purchase them? Also, do I have to purchase a second MMB for my new contract? Gah! I'm confused.

Any info anyone has to set my spinning brain straight would be wonderful. TIA!

You will have 2 memberships, each use year will give you 1 membership. You can purchase 24 OTU points per membership so a total of 48. You can purchase them once a year. IIRC MMB is by member, however, your Boardwalk contract is resale so that membership is not DVC-Y regardless and should not qualify for MMB. You will end up buying BOGO OTU points using MMB on your GF membership and then full priced OTU points on your resale membership.

I would rescind that resale contract and look for something that’s in your same Feb UY.
