What UY's Do You Own

[disneynutz]

Just trying to get an idea of the most popular UY's.

 

[RobDoc]

We have four different Use Years - and we did not use that as a criterion for purchase at all. We looked only at resort, number of points, price and account status (current/banked/borrowed).

In the long run, we ended up with February, March, June and September and the combination has served us well since we usually travel in January, February, May, July, September, October and December. Fortunately, we have never had to cancel a reservation late in our Use Year or past our banking deadline, so that has never been an issue or a consideration.

I know a lot of pople say UY is improtant, we decided on March, which works for us and our travel plans, though I can say that we could have made anything work without a problem, you just need to plan

2 use years, 2 home resorts. Feb and Aug

 

[Buckeye Fan]

2 UYs (Aug & Dec) and 2 home resorts (SSR and VB).

My parents have September and I have December. My guide said he could either put me on a waitlist for September 2008 or just give me September 2009 (which was too long from now) so I just took the December. He thought it might be easier since we'll be combining points a lot so we don't get confused about which points expire when, etc. But it's not that big of a deal.

AKV & BCV (Feb)

OKW (Dec)

 

[ACDSNY]

Started with Feb SSR and this year added Aug AKV. I plan on adding GCV to the Aug UY. When we decided to add the AKV points we originally thought we'd sell almost all of our SSR, but since the market is so slow I think we're going to hang on to them.

As the results show, the use years are going to be fairly equally distributed, since that is the way the program is designed.

Maybe the OP is going thru DVC withdrawel inbetween trips Needed something to carry them thru.

Just trying to get an idea of the most popular UY's.

Use of the word "popular" kind of assumes that most people actually choose their UY. My guess is that a very tiny percent of DVC buyers actively pursue specific UY's.

I agree with Diane....we should see a pretty even distribution across the UY's as the sample size grows.

Both of our contracts are in Sept use year. Makes it very easy.

I have an August UY. I would like to say that a lot of thought went into it, but no thought did. This was the UY that they offered me when I purchased AKV in '07.

 

[disneynutz]

Pretty even so far. I'm really surprised.

 

[Kathi OD]

UY was not a consideration when we bought.

 

[jdvm]

We bought our original contract in May so we got a June use year. Our other contracts also have a June use year.

We've got June, we tend to visit in July / August so June suited us best
