RESOLVED: Transfer or OTU - Advice needed

[TheThousandthSoul]

Hey all,

I made some calculations.
In order to preserve a 11-month booking priority on a future trip, I will need 15 points to complete a full week booking that I will make at the 7-month mark, at a resort that is not one of my home resorts.

Should I buy OTU or get points transferred?
I don't intend to transfer other points during that same UY.

In that case, if I understand correctly, I need to call to make my booking.

Thank you all!

Are you direct member? If so, get the membership beyond and buy OTU.

Get points transferred, is this from your other use year? Or you buying it somewhere?

No I'm DVC ND
I have 2 contracts under the same UY.
I will need 15 pts so that my points preserve a booking priority for a future trip. Should I buy 15 pts OTU or get them transferred from another member?

Almost impossible to get a transfer from another member for 15 points. Just do the OTU points

This is what I thought. Thanks!

OTU is also easier, and you are unlikely to save much if anything in a transfer.

Definitely get the OTU points…and, if you want to be able to have the to use online at 8am, you can purchase them ahead of time for a fake night in that same UY, at least 31 days from purchase.

Then cancel that night. When you go to book at 7 months, just make sure the temporary contract with the OTU points is checked first!
