When buying direct, you pay prorated dues from the day you purchase for that calendar year..unless it’s a resort that is new and opening..regardless of what set of points you get
If two people buy 100 points on April 1st, esch will be paying 9 months of dues.
If one has a UY of Feb, the first set of points will be 2023 points, because we have started the Feb 2023 UY already.
If the other person has a UY iif June, the first set of points are 2022 points since the 2023 UY doesn’t start until June 1st
in both cases, the dues charged for each of these owners will be exactly the same, because they bought the same day and dues are based on when your ownership begins.
It is why many people who add on will wait and do it closer to the end of the UY to maximize their purchase.
