I’m new at this but that does sound risky.
I just did this. I had a few points tied up in a reservation and I completed my closing docs a couple weeks before my reservation. I got an email saying my paperwork was completed and ready to close. The day after I checked out, I got all the other emails congratulating the sale and letting me know what to expect as far as the transfer and payment.
I just did that a few weeks ago! I signed as the seller before my last trip. No problems at all, but I did remind the broker and the title company every time I spoke with them that they could not close until my visit was over. My sales contract had my last trip noted on there, so I’m sure if they did close early and you lost use of your last reservation you would have recourse.
Are you going to wait and see if you want to buy vdh instead of riv??? Did you sell some vgc??? Ohhh im so excited for you, summer at vdh seems fabulous, we booked july in our first garden!Bingo…BUT… I forget if I told you I extended our June VGC trip to include 3 nights at VDH…I may or may not have an ulterior motive.

I think its smart to sell bwv for something longer if youre getting the same room type anyways and the price is still above $100. I would love to stay in a bwv room one day, but it seems like ill probably have to plan my trip around whenever that's open!I have my eye on those garden rooms - another reason to own VDH!
I actually sold my beloved BWV - the reality is that we only use that contract in the summer and so far I have no issue using our direct points for the same room type…so I’d rather put the $ towards contracts with a longer expiration.
That was going to be more RIV (or now VDH) but I have a somewhat new dilemma: I have two UYs because we truly travel year round - all of my direct points are in June and all my resale is in Dec.
Right now based on our travel patterns it makes sense that I’d need more points in June than Dec, but I’m a tad concerned that down the road when we’re not limited to school schedules I’ll wish I had more Dec for winter/spring trips.
Don’t love the idea of mixing direct with resale in Dec so my options are 1) throw caution to the wind and load up on 175 ish direct points in June UY - here I come VDH or 2) buy 175 resale pts in Dec (VGF or CCV).
This sounds like a fun WWYD topic for a new thread
It just worked out that way, my plan was to match the direct to december to even things out but when we got offered to start early with the 2025 points I wasnt gunna let that go.
it's going to be hard not using feb points for almost a whole year to match up with them, surely ill use them by then We liked going in december so im happy to have them, just going to take a little bit of extra planning! I think timing them to be a year behind the february ones could be a way to go to and probably the best actually now that I think about it just make sure those are alloted always and the feb can be borrowed so I can bank december if they dont go towards the same trip whew lol. We will see how you feel after your june trip!
