Waitlist for add-on points

[Wislodgers]

We waitlisted just a couple of days ago for a small add-on at VWL. Our guide told us he could be calling us in 3 days or 3 months. He said the list was not long for September and did not feel it should be too long of wait. We are undecided exactly how many points we would like to buy. Anyway, what I am wondering is when they call you with points available, how long do you have to decide how many points you want? Do you have to give them an answer immediately or do they give you a day or two? Thanks for any information!!!

I've been on the waitlist twice for addon points at BWV, and both times I got the phone call I was hoping for. The first time, I knew I wanted all 50 points they were offering so I accepted immediately. The second time, the timing was unfortunate, because I'd just bought a new car. So I "waffled" a little when my guide called me. But he was very nice, and told me to take the weekend and think about it. That's what I did.

The ending to the story? I bought those points too, of course!

Good luck with the waiting list! Hope it works out just as you are hoping.

I got my call yesterday for the add-on I wanted at OKW and was told I had one day to decide how many points I wanted. I left a message on my guide's machine. the paperwork isn't an immediate thing, but they do want to know about those points, since others are waiting. Just so you know, there wasn't a Magical Beginnings program for sold-out resorts, I have to pay the horrible $84 per point for this add-on. Ouch!!

Thanks for the responses! I did know it was the 84 a point....... I asked about MB and was told no. Well, I will just have to see what is available when they call.....................

Very interesting you should ask this. I got my call Monday morning. I asked him if I could have overnight to think about it. Yes. I called the next day and requested 71 additional points. Great. Called the next day asking if there were more available. He said he would have to check what was still available. Yes, still some available. Called next morning that I decided to keep the 71 and not add any more. Called Friday requesting an additional 50. Guide off until Saturday. Nobody sure what was left if anything. Guide called this morning--Saturday--to say still availablity for the 50 more.

Anyone follow that story.

Guide said that my package was still not sent due to a backup with all the resale/add-ons, and that they would cancel the first 71 point add-on and rewrite a new contract for 121 total point add-on. They must be busy. HH sold out. VB sold out. OKW sold out. He did say there were a few VWL points floating around for just a few use years. BCV almost sold out. They are supposed to be moving to Saratoga Springs Villas, but this resort isn't scheduled to open until 2004. What will they sell until then if not more and more resale buyback add-ons.



Initially I was told that you have a day or two at the most to tell them how many points you would like. After you tell them yes or no, they move on to the next person on the list.

Did your guide tell you what number you were on the list? They can find that out. I was 18 on the list in December. In February, I was 8. I knew I would have a chance once I read about all the Disney buybacks.
