You could but why? Direct points are more expensive than resale. You will pay closing costs on each 25 point contract and it will just make those direct points more expensive. With at 25 direct points at a time, you would not qualify for any member benefits. You must purchase a minimum of 75 direct points to qualify.
This is exactly what we have done. Bought resale first and have now added on 30 and then 33 points on direct. We know we paid more, but it is so hard to find a small contract with the right use year. And, with the prices of resale getting higher and higher, and the more reasonable closing costs on direct, we felt it was worth it.
Little contracts actually sell at a price premium on the resale sites. Bill actually stated how it's easier to move smaller contracts in another thread.
Later selling a larger contract may be an issue, require a lower price or could take months to sell. Most buyers want a smaller contract. We have sold 50 pointers that were gone in 1 day, today we have a 240 pointer for sale and no bites for a couple of months.

Negative. Your membership will display them as two separate CCV contracts. Say, if your add-on is your sixth contract it will have a "[existing contract number].5" amended to it. Your contract purchased in September (assuming it was your last purchased contract) would read as "[existing contract number].4"
It is possible but subject to availability. We don't know for certain it'll qualify for direct benefits but it likely will. My suggestion would be to save up and buy them at one time either resale or direct depending on an independent analysis of those 2 choices. You'll have extra closings on the 2 additional contracts and there's no guarantee that they'll be worth more or even as much going forward. Plus the same option might not be available to purchase in the future.
I’ve done the same; I needed to build up some additional points on top of a resale contract so matching UY and resort was super important to me.
