Small direct add on at VGC

[Cyberc1978]

Im considering a direct add on at VGC.

Anyone been able to buy direct lately?

I don’t want VDH - that’s purely because of the TOT payable at checkout.

I’m considering 25-50 points so i can go once every 2 years or maybe more often but then combine my points at 7 months.

I bought a small contract after our June trip - we just got lucky and bumped into a guide while walking around and he was willing to look repeatedly for us (and I was willing to repeatedly ask ). It took a couple of weeks.

Thankfully they were selling in my UY (June) though he did mention that wasn’t the case across all.

We loved staying at VDH (used a combo of RIV and OTUP - thank you MMB!) but like you had a rough time with ToT. It helped that the week we plan to travel is fewer points at VGC and the difference in cost between direct and resale for small contracts is not huge (+ being able put it all on my cc is a nice bonus).

Good luck!!

Thanks, maybe I should start nagging my guide every few days until she finds something

“and then combine my points at 7 months”

I wouldn’t count on this….

Nothing is never certain but as I’ve written before I’ve been able to piece together hard to get rooms before so why not at VGC.

Yep - I think you have to be persistent since it's a manual search for them.

Because it’s by far the lowest number of inventory rooms available in the whole DVC system and has a legion of spec renters trying to do the same thing….. especially the studios.

There are a total of 23 studios - not many but since I have luck booking value studio I hope I at least sometimes can pull off booking a studio.

Besides without a VGC contract my chances are smaller.
