So, How Many Points Do You Have?

[PamOKW]

Thought it might be interesting to get an idea of how many points people are working with. This is your total number of points in all resorts.

 

[RobDoc]

Here is a similar poll from last May. It will be interesting to compare the results. Choices are a little different this time.
Please feel free to vote in both polls.

How about putting in one that has 2000?
Not many of us, last I heard there were only 3 of us....

We started with the very common 230 points and added on 150 when new points became available at OKW with the new buildings. I think we finnally have the right number for us.

We have 650. We just kept adding on. And would you believe, I'm borrowed through 2002.

Do you ever really have enough? We stared with 210 and added 200 more. You would thing 410 is plenty. We haven't done borrowing yet, but If we had more points I'm sure I'd think of totally esential ways to use them.

 

[TampaDisneyFreaks]

We have 250. Would like to add 100-150 more and see how that works for us. We are able to do most of what we want with what we have now, but more would work a lot better. Finances dictate we may need to wait until BCV opens to add more though. Debbie, could you also adopt us as well???

 

[Credit Man]

We have 300 pts. 200 at Bwv and 100 at Vero. Wish we could afford more, and we have'nt even been there yet.

 

[Nana Sue]

Two years ago we bought 270 and since then have added 60 and 218 for a total of 548. I still want more though - it's a disease!

We have 220 points, which so far has been plenty for us as we have always vacationed in the winter (ESCAPE MINNESOTA WINTER). However kids are now getting too old to be taking out of school with school work getting more difficult and more demanding so I am wondering how those 220 points will work traveling in the summer. Hopefully they will still be enough, can't really afford to buy any more.

 

[mrsdon]

We started with 220 way back in 94. When VB opened they were running a special and the passes were included if we used VB at OKW!!
When I finally became a CM we added on 100 as soon as OKW became available again.
Then we added 100 at VB with the great MB deal they were running. My DH bought us our last 100 points before they sold out as a Christmas gift.So what that all means is we have a total of 670 points.

 

[wdw4us2]

We have 210 and I'm always hoping that we can add on more but, the $$ never seem to be there. We usually take 5 - 6 weekend trips per year in OKW Studio and almost never have left over points. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have over 600 points - I'd be at WDW all the time!

 

[JaneDE]

We started out with 190 and now have 265. You can never have enough points. The person who said that they have borrowed points until 2002, you are my role model.@

 

[tworgs]

Started at HH with 225 in 96' went to BWV in 98'was struck again add on 300,went back to HH did another add on 125 ,just came back from WLV already trying to figure out how to add on another 150

 

[GB]

It's just my son and I and I bought into BWV for 175 pts. Not alot, although, staying in a studio is all we need. I always travel in off season as I can't stand the busier seasons. This way we get the most value for the points.

This is enough points for now but I'm always thinking of getting an add on. I'm curious to know the sizes of the families with higher point values? I'm guessing they need at least a one bedroom.

 

[buckylarue]

We just bought into BWV before they sold out for 150 points, and they'll have to hold us for awhile, which shouldn't be too much of a problem considering how hard it is to get bargain airfares from here!

GB, the one bedrooms don't sleep any more people than the studios, they just do it in a LOT more comfort! Also, you get the full kitchen, washer & dryer, and whirlpool bathtub. I think we're gonna find it hard to ever do a studio again, even tho there's ususally just 2 of us going!

So here's my dream wish:

As soon as I win the lottery, I'm going to buy 2000 points at EACH resort. I think that'd finally be enough. Until then, I'll just keep watching my current allocation and being careful to spend it wisely.
