Sorry if I missed the answer here, but what is the max point allocation chart? And, can someone explain why the max point allocation chart might be considered too generous?
Thanks,
Mike - new DVC owner !!!!
Maximum Vacation Point Reallocation is a description of the relative "value" of the points at a DVC resort
IF there were no seasons or differences for weeknights/weekends. It descibes the number of consecutive use days available for a specific number of points.
When OKW opened in 1991, 230 points could be used in a studio for 10 nights in Premier Season, 14 in Magic, 15 in Dream, 20 in Choice and 22 in Value. (Those numbers are already slightly different since there was a reallocation for OKW in 1996).
With Maximum Reallocation - an OKW Studio would allow a consecutive stay of 15 nights using 230 points. A 1BR would get 7 consecutive nights. A 2BR would get 5 consecutive nights and a GV would get 3 nights.
From the POS:
"A maximum reallocation of Vacation Point reservaton requirements would result in the "levelling" of all seasons, such that Vacation Point reservation requirements would have no variation based on seasonality or different times of the year. Similarly, a maximum reallocation of Vacation Point reservation requirements would result in a "levelling" of differenced in Vacation Point reservation requirements based on particular Use Days in the week."
DVC Members do need to be aware that a reallocation could happen - without consultation from members - and that even the Home Resort Reservation Priority could be reduced to a one month advantage , where no-home reservations could be made 10 months in advance. There are some restrictions regarding the amount of reallocation which could occur in any one year (20%), but the issue is clearly spelled out in the DVC document.
Having said this, I do not expect any reallocation in the near future. As each new resort has come online into the DVC system, they have had the opportunity to modify the point requirements on an individual basis for the new resort. DVC, to a minimal extent, has done this with SSR and AKV by establishing some variance in the
point charts for those 2 resorts to differ from BWV, VWL and BCV. VB and HH and even BWV each has it's own unique point requirement - and each was established when the resorts began sales. Only OKW has gone thru change - where some nights were raised and others were lowered and most weren't changed at all.
Stay Tuned!
