VDH Questions for Purchasing

[tx911]

So we're at 200 now?

 

[VGCgroupie]

I think id do 75 75 and 50. Id like to do 50 50 50 50 but im not sure if that makes sense.

Let me ask my accountant.

@VGCgroupie does it make sense for me to rent out 50 points at $20 pp accomplish my goal of 200 points. Shall I split it in three or four if so?

I still think 150 is the way to go. I wouldn’t buy extra to rent when you can do MB.

You can keep the extra points and always have a surplus. Will be nice to operate banking rather than borrowing.

I’d ask yourself if you 100% will take all those trips in 1 year.

Well my accountant hasnt answered yet and $4000 magical beginnings sounds better than $3000 so why the hell not!

You mean keep the points and not do MB?

I feel like I’m in labor. Not that I have any idea how that feels, but this has to be close.

I say go 150, with MB and then go celebrate!

But were also contemplating not selling them so you can go like every month

If you are thinking that you won’t have enough points you can keep them and bank them forward. But if you think you would rent them I think doing MB is better.

Stop overthinking it. If thinking of selling off points to MB (sucker bet by the way…like buying a new car but have a trade in..those deals are put out for the House’s benefit). Looks all good at first but later realize the trip, using those points, had more value.

Tell your guild you changed your mind to a 75/75 VDH (Lock in your 150 DVC-Y). Paying such a high premium anyway for all this. Back fill with resale if really want more.

Your Conscience Has Spoken…

I have no regrets selling my points back. But some do.

So you think I should do magical beginnings? Because if I do there will be less celebrating

I like this because 450 points is As soon as they hit im telling my wife to call off work and we going

Im pretty confident I can spend them all

I'm sure it is tempting to go higher on the number of points. But, you probably really have to think about how many of those VDH points are you actually going to use at VDH every year. Yes, 150 is the starting point to get direct benefits, but will you actually use more than that, on average, each year? If you don't think so, probably better to stick with 150.

And, agree with @VGCgroupie on MB. I think it's a no brainer unless you had a cash stay you already had booked and you could substitute those points in for that - then, you are potentially saving yourself lots of money. If you weren't really planning a trip with these points, monetizing the current year points at $20/point without any taxes due is just so quick and easy. And, you've still got 47 years worth of points to look forward to. It is a bit of delayed gratification, but I think the cash is worth it personally.

If you will use the points keep them. You can always rent WDW points to offset if needed. Your only points that work at VDH are VDH points, so not a bad idea to start with some extra. I would do what makes you most happy.

150 without magical beginnings sounds like a good compromise. Id be paying $6 more pp than what i was going to be at Poly

If getting MB isn’t what gets you to buy them keep them and bank them forward and then you will have a cushion for your stays.

For me getting the price down per point was priority #1.
