Right. Exactly. RIV and likely Saratoga would have 2023 points if I buy this week. Can’t buy Poly until my use year starts next week. If I buy anywhere next week I’m not getting 2023 points. Thanks.
You should be able to get 2024 until almost the last day of your 2024 use year which is in 2025. For example if you own a Feb UY, your last day is Jan 31 2025, or if you have a Dec UY, that day would be Nov. 30 2025. Sometimes they actually don’t have 2024 points to give you but most of the time they should include that years points but I would not wait til the last day. I’d probably buy it at minimum a couple weeks before the end of the use year. You also have to sell points back at least 4 days before the start of the next use year for Magical Beginnings if thats something you were planning to do.
Thank you for the clarification!
Thank you!
Interesting. Obviously, having not done all of my homework, I thought that owners would pay high assessments to repair/rebuild but never considered owners could lose everything. And only owners assigned specific units within a resort if the resort is only partially impacted.
There’s not one perfect answer unfortunately. If money isn’t an issue and you want to stay at poly, buy direct poly on October 1st. If you really love Riv, and the restrictions don’t bother you, then maybe buy Riv because the incentives are pretty good right now and likely to be better than Poly’s offering next week. If money is of concern and you tend to book less than 7 months out, it’s hard to look past Saratoga incentives right now with magical beginnings for 2023 points because it really brings down your cost per point.What is this week’s play for an Oct UY blue-card Poly owner with 160 points (mix of direct and some resale) looking for 150-ish more points in light if insane point charts for 1 and 2 bedrooms at Island Tower?…
(1) Wait to add on direct at Poly next week?
(2) Add on at Riviera this week?
(3) Add on 150-200 direct at Saratoga this week to use everywhere?
(4) Forget about more points right now?
(5) Small add on at Poly next week to eventually replace Poly resale points with direct points? Add on another resort later?
(6) Something else?
And a tornado could hit WDW non-coastal properties. 1998 was close.
So I'm trying to make some similar choices...I have about 200 points over 3 contracts all resale. I really want to stay at RIV & I think I would want to try the Cabins once but they don't move the needle for me at all. I think POLY is way overcrowded as is without the tower open. The tower appeals to me because its beautiful and new and I like that sort of thing.
