Hello, I grew up in CT (hence my username) but currently live in Worcester. My family has been DVC members since 1993, obviously at OKW since it's the only resort that existed. I also did the DCP in Spring 2010.
I feel that pain. Those rooms are so hard to score.I live in the New York metro area now but I grew up in western Mass. Therefore, Mass is always in my blood. Most of my family is still there. We had a split stay planned for August AKV club level and value studios. I was so bummed when I made the decision to cancel and bank the points. I'm suffering planning withdrawals right now.
I hope that I can somehow get lucky enough to score those rooms again. The crazy part was that I was able to book them at 8 months. It just took a few days to piece it all together.I feel that pain. Those rooms are so hard to score.
All this will just make the next trip sweeter.
Hello I am from North Andover MassGreetings!
I thought I’d create a MA DVC members board since it seems like there are many of us here in the Dis forums. It might be fun and informative to have our own little space to chat about upcoming trips and everything DVC,
Looking forward to "meeting you" and chatting with everyone.
WELCOME HOME!
I haven't owned DVC for long (became a member in 2018) but I too periodically check out the sites for resales and also see a lot of stripped down contracts. I have no data to actually back this up, but I feel like a lot of the stripped down contracts are SSR and AKV. I closed in early April on an AKV resale contract and paid the same amount per point for a contract with all the points incl. some banked that I see stripped down contracts selling for. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I've also noticed that some sites seem to be cheaper per point than others. Does that sound right? If not, perhaps it's just specific contracts I'm looking at.Just wondering . . . although I am not in the market for adding points, I receive emails from some of the resellers' sites and glance at them more often than just deleting them. Frankly, I have been astonished to see that most of the contracts for sale are stripped (today I saw some that would not have any points available until 2022!) and the price per point was definitely not a "bargain". Have you also noticed this pattern?
I'd love to join!Greetings!
