SAP+ ?

[takemetomickey]

Would AKV be considered an idea for SAP+? Dues are only nominally higher than others and there are some great deals being posted on other threads.

People mention the fear that dues will escalate due to caring for the animals and the expensive roofs(?) but can we assume that’s already been factored in?

Not really, because by that way of thinking almost any resort could be considered SAP+ (except maybe Vero & Hilton Head because of dues). You have to cut it off somewhere, so i think you just look at the cheapest dues (and buy in) that has location appeal too. as of 2024, id say anything with dues in the $7 range & low $8, but many are high $8 and AKV is low $9.

So I wouldn't consider AKV to be SAP+ but I do own some points there and very happy about it.

Would appreciate feedback.

I have direct points in April UY (VGF and BWV). I have resale BLT in Feb UY. From what I’ve read, I may not be able to use my DVC-Y card for certain things (TOTW, WWD, lounges) when staying on the resale membership.

I was thinking of adding direct OKW to Feb UY to sort of “wash” that membership to have a DVC-Y card. Issue is DH has no desire to stay at OKW. We love BLT, especially with a 5 year old. BLT resale is still less money than OKW direct. Do I add on resale at OKW?

Someone mentioned this somewhere, not sure if it was on Disboards or elsewhere. But it seems that either this didn't really happen, or the CM was mistaken. I don't see how Disney could really do this to someone. What if part of your stay was using your resale points and part was using your direct points? How would they really regulate this? On Monday, you can't come in b/c that part of your stay is using resale but on Tuesday, you can? Seems really nuts.

It was definitely here - I was trying to find it earlier to add as a reference but no luck.

No way they could, & it would be suicide if they did, people that bought with blue cards would be absolutely pissed if denied. I'd say most don't care THAT much about the benefits, & if they were to reject someone's status, they would lose a LOT of direct sales to resale... even more than they already do.

That was mentioned in one of the threads here. I’m going to look for it. That’s why I thought about adding direct OKW to resale BLT membership.

 

[MyDogTink]

Found it. @Genie+ discussed it for WWD.

How is this helpful for a resale purchase?

How is this helpful for a resale purchase?

It’s a promotion from my credit card, & it puts the cash in my bank with no interest till Dec…. For a fee.

 

[Chili327]

Not going to lie - if this was in my UY, I would start bidding...!

Come join us over on crescent lake every once in a while!

Do it!

And then a 45pt BWV shows up, in a good UY and decent price. lol

And then a 50pt shows up in my ideal UY. Thank god its already pending.

Now offer accepted (30points) I'm starting to build a collection of BWV contracts.

One of these days I really need to actually get some SAP+. lol

 

[ClaraOswald]

How many points to you have at each place now??

Building those BWV points! Love it!

YAY!!

And you convinced me - I'm just a few steps behind - BWV offer accepted on Tuesday...details coming soon...

 

[AstroBlasters]

The SAP+ points thread turned into the small contract BWV thread! I love it!

 

[Tatebeck]

Nah, it's SAB* now, Sleeping at the Boardwalk

But on topic, based on some Net Present Value calculations I saw recently I would consider AKV, BLT, and CCV as the best SAP+ contenders right now. You can also add OKW either if you like the resort or you want your SAP+ to be direct as they have a special on them right now. Then you can use SSR if you really want the cheapest, but I would personally consider that as the classic SAP, not SAP+

 

[Chili327]

VGC - 75
AKV - 25
BWV - 55
(Sold the 50 BRV)

Technically i may end up selling 25 BWV when i actually add an SAP+ (CCV/BLT), i really only need about 125 total for WDW (not counting VGC/DLR)

Bumping this back up with a question as I'm considering SSR for SAP. I'm wondering if this situation would work:

Next January I have 4 nights booked at VGF. Assuming I get enough points at SSR, I'd be able to modify my VGF reservation at 7 months to have the points taken from my SSR contract instead of my VGF contract, right? That way it would free up my VGF points to then book another trip during that UY (December).

Or to put it in simpler terms, at 7 months out I should be able to keep my same reservation and use points from a "cheaper" contract, right? Or do I have this all wrong? (This would obviously be excluding any restricted resorts i.e. Riviera etc.)

It sounds like you booked your Jan VGF trip with 11 month home priority. In order to switch to your SSR points, the VGF room would have to be available at 7 months out. You can’t circumvent the 11 month booking window by using home resort points at 11 months and then switching to non-home resort points at 7 months.

Nope, sorry. You can't change an 11 month reservation you made using home resort priority to use points from a different contract at 7 months. Otherwise everyone would buy a small contract at a home resort and a ton of cheap points. You have to check if the same reservation or somewhere else you want to stay is available at 7 months, then use your SSR points for those, and cancel your VGF point reservations
