    If you are looking to buy points for use at Disney DVC properties you would get a much better deal going through resale. If you are looking for the more elaborate trips, you would need to buy direct. We originally bought direct but added on through resale over the summer. The cost per point was about half of what they wanted for VWL direct.

    Last year Disney changed there policy regarding where resale points could be used:
    New Policy Announced for Re-sale Purchases
    Disney Vacation Club® has announced a new policy that limits access to certain Member Getaways exchanges for Ownership Interests purchased on the secondary market (also known as the re-sale market).
    Under the new policy, Members who purchase from anyone other than Disney Vacation Development, Inc., on or after March 21, 2011, will not be eligible to use those Vacation Points to make reservations within the Concierge Collection, the Disney Collection or the Adventurer Collection. Those Vacation Points will instead be valid only for reservations at Disney Vacation Club resorts, as well as for RCI® exchanges, Club Cordial and Club Intrawest.

    We bought resale (but that was before the rules for resales changed) and are happy with our decision. If we add on, we'd likely buy resale again - even with the new rules.

    Faline,

    Thank you! I think with the price breaks it will be better to buy resale.

    Thanks!

    As we would most likely ONLY spend our points on property (even Vero Beach, Fl), I would buy resale.

    Like Faline, we bought resale before the change and we purchased from The Timeshare Store (see link on top right) and it was easy-peasy.

    What I also like is when times are tough, you can also rent your points out. One year my husband got laid off and we rented our points out and were really happy.
