Hi everyone, what are peoples thoughts on DVC for travellers from the UK?
We come every year and usually get a package which includes flights, hotel and tickets. Looking at hotel only options for deluxe hotels we would be paying at least £5000+ per stay for 2 weeks.
SO, If we were to buy DVC resale at say AKL for 250 points at say $100/point = $25,000 = roughly about £19,000 plus closing fees etc. Annual dues at $7.4355 x250pts (not taking into account inflation as hotel prices inflate as well) = $1860 =£1426
Paying for normal hotel non dvc for 6 trips would be about £30,000 (at least)
DVC option £19,000 + (£1426 x 6 years= £8556) = £27,556
So after 6 trips we would essentially have got our money worth? and then we would essentially just be paying annual dues at £1426 for a £5000+ room?
(also have to think about air fair but would be paying for that anyway)
Apologies if my math is out but from this it seems like DVC is worth it for uk residents? still a silly amount of money but its money I would be paying anyway..
any thoughts/advice would be very appreciated,
