Resale as Add-On?

[U2FanHfx]

Hi All,

If I buy a resale for the same UY and Resort as my original, will this be considered and 'add-on'. What I really want is to add to my points so I get the advantage of having more points at my home resort.

Thanks!

Regs,

It depends ... generally, an add-on is a purchase made thru DVC as additional points regardless of the resort added. DVC will provide the same Use Year.

If you purchase a resale with the same Use Year (the resort doesn't really matter) and DVC discovers the relationship prior to entering the contract in the system, they may make it a subcontract of your original. You can also try to let DVC know of your wishes to make the resale purchase a part of your original contract and see if they will allow it. The owners MUST be listed exactly the same as your original deed and the Use Year MUST be the same. If they do not catch it when the deed is recorded, reportedly they will not go back and do it later.

I'm not sure I see the advantage- especially with the transfer changes recently announced. While it may take a little more bookkeeping to manage two contracts, you would be able to transfer points between the accounts if needed and they will assist with using points from both for reservations. Having two contracts does provide a little more flexibility, IMO.

Good luck with the resale!

Does the new rule allow you to transfer points more than once between two of your own contracts?

For multiple contracts of a single owner, DVC has significantly more flexibility and this may include transferring banked/borrowed points, everything is handled on a case by case basis. IF it's something that would have worked if they were in 1 membership and both contracts would be applicable from a use year standpoint, I would expect the new rule to be waived. OTOH, if one is trying to bypass the home priority or try to take advantage of the system, I think it's likely DVC will know that and not allow added flexibility in that circumstance.

This did not work well for me in my very recent experience. I have four contracts, with two separate use years and two master contract numbers. On one contract I had transferred points to another member. Last week MS refused to allow me to transfer points from another account to any of the other three. It was one of my very few experiences with MS and reminded me of the commercial with the guy who just keeps repeating "NO" no matter what you say. She kept saying "the public offering statement indicates that a member may only have one transfer a year" even though I have two use years, and the transfer was even in a different calendar year. I think it was a completely twisted interpretation of any "rule" out there (particularly since MY POS doesn't limit transfer to one per year!)

If you call back or ask for a supervisor, you would likely be successful. But I'd reserve your special requests for when you're actually making a reservation. The times where you'll get the flexibility are when it's obvious you need to do this to make it work. Like you only have 15 points in one contract and need 30 for the last night. Or you want to do a cash value exchange like DCL and DVC says all the points must be in one contract. Frankly, I wouldn't expect them just to look the other way and let you transfer multiple times or banked/borrowed points JUST because you're a member with multiple separate contracts.

However, you could quote multiple POS versions that don't limit to one per use year, only one direction. It'd be interesting to see the latest version.
