DVC has just changed the resell rules on DVC points. I was planning on adding additional points this year, but now I am going to hold out to see if this is just the first of many rule changes to come. I have already written to DVC and would suggest all DVC members write to DVC and tell them what you think. Below is the letter I sent to DVC:
I was planning on buying an additional 100 points this year at Bay Lake Tower direct from DVC. I have 250 points in which I purchased 150 from DVC and 100 resell points. The new resell rules have changed my mind. I have always felt that if bad times hit my family (lost my job or illness in the family) and I could no longer afford DVC, I could resell my points. Now that DVC has made this first change in the rules, I feel that more are to come. I will not be looking to expand my points past what I now have. I have also recommended DVC to two friends that have purchased points directly from DVC. I will not be recommending to anyone to purchase into DVC until we find out if the rules will continue to change. If DVC kills the resell market than DVC is going to be the one that hurts in the long run.
