Using Points at Non DVC Resorts

[CAP56]

I am looking at buying but want to know what the points per night look like if you stay at the Poly, Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge or Yacht Club? Is there a point chart for this or access to the information without being a DVC member?

It really is not worth it to stay at one of the other resorts on points.

Just for example... If you stayed at the Beach Club Villas for a week in a studio during slow season you would be using 104 points (Sun-Thurs would be 12 points per night with Fri and Sat being 22 points per night). If you wanted to stay at the Yacht Club the same time of year in a standard view for a week you would be using 301 points (Sun-Thurs would be 35 points per night with Fri and Sat being 63 points per night).

It really isn't that great.

First off I would never stay at the Yacht Club because you can stay at the Beach Club villas right next door and they share the same Strom-a-long bay pool.

Second at Wilderness Lodge, you can't stay in the regular hotel on points, you would have to stay in the villas.

We are staying on points this year at the Contemporary in the Tower, it is costing me 200 points from a Sun-Thursday. I knew it wasn't my best use of points but I wanted to try it. For the same 200 points I could have stayed home (SSR) in a one bedroom for 7 nights and had 6 points left over.

This is the only time I am going to use points to stay at a non-DVC deluxe resort.
