I was told by my guide that new members can go on the waitlist, too.
I was checking for someone on this board in case they wanted to buy BCV points.
He said that they have people buy and then cancel or something so he advised STRONGLY to get on the waitlist ASAP to have a chance at 45 BCV pts back in the system today myself.
We just bought in as new members a little while ago and were allowed to go on the waitlist. We were able to get the 210 points we asked for with a March use year. Now, we're just waiting for closing!
I'm already regretting not getting more points right away.
