It was from Mouse owners before they shut down the boards. It was $16 a point and so easy. I found someone who had a long history on the boards and recommendations.
This was before hold times were 6 hours long because we both had to be on the phone in order to make it happen. Those points are so easy to use and they are bankable. I hope Mousowners 2.0 has the same exchange boards - I haven’t fully looked into it.
At one point I thought I would just buy transfer points every few years instead of owning more points. I don’t think I will end up doing that, but I may very well buy transfer points if I ever want to stay at a newly built resort that I can’t stay at with my reslae points.
One other piece of advice - once you buy, remeber you book a toom with the points you will have available during the stay, not the points you have available when you book. It is a very common mistake.
2nd contract AKL 100 pts plus 20 incentive bonus for the life of the contract — we went from needing a one bedroom for 5 of us to a 2 bedroom for 7 of us once we realized that our moms were coming every trip
3rd contract RIV 200 pts — two words - couples trips. We found ourselves wanting to go more than once a year. Ok I did. I had a trip per quarter goal, which would be 4x/yr. I’m almost there.
4th contract RIV 250 pts — we outgrew the 2 bedroom. Our kids are now 26, 23 and 18. There is no bed sharing. We either have to get a 2 bedroom plus a studio, or a 3 bedroom.
Yes. The counting is strong with you.
We also have a habit of bringing everyone we know with us. We’ve hosted a trip for 20, a trip for 30 and have a trip for 16 next March.
Truth. It’s like a car payment. As the accountant in the house that actually creates the budget and pays all the bills I’m maxed out. It took a lot of convincing before I agreed to this most recent contract. If DH gets the itch to add on again, we’re selling one we own first.
I just remembered about another website that I use a lot when planning vacations. It eliminates the math when trying to figure out how many points are needed for a particular stay.
we have 150 beach club uy Feb. Want to add on okw 200 so we can get a 2 bedroom for 5 days anywhere and visit universal for a few days each year. Right now disney is rofl a ton of okw contracts and we just lost the one we had an offer on
