    Would Swapped Points Go Into Holding?

    Any adjustment to the points used result in holding. Some have thought it’s only cancel but it’s any modification to the reservation within 31 days that changes points used, even if it is a swap. And, you never know because the CMs on the phone aren’t going to be into the whole resale piece…so...

    Would Swapped Points Go Into Holding?

    Yes, any changes or modifications to a reservation will result in holding. Since this will be a new contract, you might get a CM to give some pixie dust and make the change for you and remove the holding status.

    Walking Why ?

    I don’t know why either….but I think people think they need to so they do…however, BLT is getting tefurbed next year so maybe some are worried about fewer rooms than normal?

    Chances of a Poly waitlist

    You would need to call MS to add a note to only cancel the marching days, A waitlist will cancel all days without such note and you can’t indicate online. But I would not put in two three day waitlists for one 6 day trip… I would try to break it up if there is still availability. MS can’t...

    April Incentives - What Are Your Predictions?

    Surprised they will have the incentives early. They don’t normally allow guides to share until the day they begin. Keep us posted!

    February direct sales but also debate about trusts

    And that explanation matches info I have gotten, not to mention it is supported in the updated Multi site POS that was done October 2023. It was actually reading of that POS that prompted to ask questions about it. I was looking to see if they had yet changed any language regarding the new...

    February direct sales but also debate about trusts

    From what I have found, these new cabins are not defined as a trailer in any way. They are being permanently built right on the land.

    Would You Buy 2042 Resort w/10 Yrs Left?

    We don’t like any of them well enough to spend that much for one. Noe, if BW or BCV is going for $20 to $30/ pt? Might consider it.

    February direct sales but also debate about trusts

    I definitely think selling the cabins this way is a big benefit and made the perfect project to start with in moving this way for the future..which I am confident it will be. But, our current contracts do define what happens with casualty..if our units are destroyed and not rebuilt, we get the...

    February direct sales but also debate about trusts

    Not what I was told so we can agree to disagree. They are real property and thus could have been sold outside of a trust. Now, the ideas that they try to make this trust a product that enhances home resort advantage to more than one resort is just that…an idea But, there is no reason to...

    February direct sales but also debate about trusts

    The cabins did not need a trust to sell them. They do not have wheels, and will be built right on site....they are considered real property. (See updated multi site POS) While aspects will be prefabricated offsite, those will be brought in and then put together right there. And, from all...

    I wish Magic Bands could have DVC discount eligibility

    I always just say I have DVC and an AP...and then say "Here is my DVC" and it is fine. So, it may have been the CM if she thought you only said AP and not DVC...

    change order of borrowing points

    The only way to borrow is if you are out of eligible points. Since they have two contracts and want to use points from both, it is going to take current UY points before it will borrow from either. Now, MS can probably do it for you by doing the same thing with your real trip, as they can do...

    I wish Magic Bands could have DVC discount eligibility

    No issues with DVC Y because that is the only place that shows so it’s where they should look. As you said, the annual is different and it requires you to show the actual pass with date.

    change order of borrowing points

    In order to do it, you need to do as you mention…book something only with the OKW contract first, with borrowing. Those points will now be there and will be used first once you book your real trip.

    DVC commercial renters

    And maybe they don’t. But IMO, they are the ones who need to enforce it if they are in violation I am just against any changes that make it harder for owners who are using it for family or friends or the occasional rental to do such, when we are allowed to do that.

    DVC commercial renters

    See, DVC has access to everything it needs to evaluate each membership and make a determination of whether or not they believe it is in violation. There really is no need for them to take any extra steps that impact owners who are not renting. It comes down to DVC. simply enforcing the...

    Stalking and Switching Question

    If you do not have extra points, you need to go in via the modify button. Now, if you would be willing to split stay, and did have at least a few extra points for one or two nights, you could stalk on your own, book nights that show up at the beginning or end of your trip at your first choice...

    Booking across 2 UYs and Multiple Reservations

    The reason MS has to book a reservation that crosses UYs is because the points eligible for each day are different. For example, the days in January 2025, which is in your Feb 2024 UY, can be secured with banked 2023, 2024 and borrowed 2025 (if you had all those points). The days from Feb 1st...
