All this talk about monorail DVCs and AKL DVC has me wondering... If I add on does it make sense to have the same UY or are there advantages to a different UY??? I think we would add on for a monorail DVC and also AKL if savannah views and my DH does love VWL..... OMG!! :scared1: I think I'm in the early stages of ADD ONITIS :faint: :eek: I better work more overtime!!
 
We have the same use year for all of our contracts. It makes transactions like banking easier for me to deal with. Since mine are all April, I get all of points at the same time and all banking can be done at once. When I add on I intend to have an April UY.
 
If you're adding on in min 25 point increment up to 149 (I believe), you must add on to your current UY. I'm sure someone will correct me if I mis-speak.

From my experience the pros:

1) easier to keep track of 1 UY

2) can bank & borrow to get 11 month advantage @ each resort

cons:

1) always short on points (waiting for next best thing to add on)

2) new transfer policy makes it tougher to buy points to utilize too.
 
I don't know what the "rules" are but two years ago at the same time we added on 25 at BWV and 200 at BCV and DVC made us take the same use year. I think it would be a nightmare for me to have different use years....but I don't think they gave us an option.

That is correct. Any add-ons through Disney will only be for the same UY as your master contract.
 
We are thinking of doing another, yes another, add-on. :teeth:

since we vacation mostly in early Dec our April UY can be tricky for us.

I called our guide, Jim McCoy, and asked him about gettting a new UY for an add-on.

He said they only way you could get a new UY is if you purchase another master contract (150+ points).
 
Thanks for all the great info. I don't think if we add on we would exceed 150 pts. I think the same UY would be a little easier to keep track of everything.
