I think that would be helpful. I will say this, I have never owned a direct point and have had wonderful interactions with DVC CMs when I call. And yes, they have many times gone out of their way to help me with point reconfiguration and a missed banking deadline here or there. It might help to remember that while the DVC higher ups might frown at us lowly resale buyers, the front line CMs you are dealing with are regular folks with the same (or even greater) financial constraints as the rest of us. They understand the value in saving money and I don't think they judge us for saving money by buying resale.We purchased 50 direct VGF points about a month ago at $245. But 1 week later I cancelled and received my deposit back (although my C/C charged me $750. because in effect I bought and then sold U.S. dollars). But I'm still reluctant to buy resale even with the $70 or $80 or even $90 savings per point. Gotta get over this phobia.
In the end, do what makes you happy and what you feel comfortable with. But I oftentimes find that some of the worst decisions I make are those made out of fear.
