What order would you sell your contracts?

[intamin]

Fun thread! My answers I thought about a little more and this is what I would do.


I would sell on this order.

1st up VGC resale.
Given my screen name you’d think this wouldn’t be the case. A few reasons behind this. It’s just so hard to book that it causes me stress. Also, if I were selling it would be because I needed the cash for some reason and these are the most expensive points I own. Lastly I am finding that I am enjoying WDW more these days than DL, this may change in the future after DL forward but I am more of a right now than a future person. If DVC offered a better AP for CA I may go there more than I do now. The sorcerers pass is so affordable it makes it a no brainer.

BWV would be next because now that I am an owner I see that even owning there doesn’t make booking easy even at 11 months. It so hard you I can’t even start a walk. Very sad since I adore this place and being there makes me so happy.

Next I would sell my baby AUL-S contract (50 points) followed by my other smaller AUL-S contract.

Next CCV. Hurts to think about it. Not because I love the resort a ton but that point chart!

Next would be my direct VGC

Next would be my last largest AUL-S contract

Last would be my VDH points due to them being direct and being that I sold all my VGC.

Selling off VGC first is surprising to me. But that's part of the reason why I dont own a Epcot 2042 or VGC despite loving them. Theyre not resale restricted but they might as well be. It is a lot of pressure and I'd feel like I have to use it only at those resorts otherwise I'm not getting the best value.

I think of all my points as one big bucket with one average cost per point instead of whatever each individual contract cost.

1) BWV resale 150: in process of selling bc have had no problems using direct points at 7 month to secure the rooms we wanted, and worst case - I’m completely fine staying at the Swan if I must be near Crescent Lake. Used proceeds to buy more direct RIV.

2) VGC direct 65: as @VGCgroupie said, these are my most expensive p/p contract and since traveling to CA isn’t a regular trip, we’d be ok without them.

3) VGF resale 150: Resorts closer to EPCOT and HS will almost always win given the frequency in which we visit those parks

4) My smaller direct RIV contracts (35 or fewer points)

5) RIV direct FW 44

6) RIV direct FW 50

7) RIV direct FW 39: This one would hurt bc I’d have to get booted from the #FW39 club.

8) CCV resale FW 52: Would be the last to go since it’s basically impossible to book studios that week without walking, and this FW was locked before the point charts adjusted. Plus…CCV around the holidays!

I think that's the difference, I already feel bad about using my RIV points at an O14 resort because they're not resale restricted. When given the chance I'll almost always utilize the AUL/AKL points first for those stays unless I actually have those points earmarked for something else. I would HATE using BWV/BCV/VGC points anywhere else but their home resort.

I do feel a slight obligation to use my VGC points out there. I love going to DL at least every other year, so it makes sense to use them out there. But the rest I consider 1 big bucket.
