Yep, I called to speak to my Guide and he is on the cruise right now. But I managed to speak to another Guide and he confirmed that yes, you can add on 25 points, no incentive, so $112 per point, and cash only.

And you can do two 25 point contracts and finance.

I asked if this was going to be available for a while, and he said that he didn't anticipate it going away any time soon.

And this Guide said he had just gotten the e-mail about this late this afternoon.

Default What do you do with 25 points at BLT?

And why would DVC management want to sell this? Other than the obvious---$$

I assume this is add-ons only-
(Some need to make up the difference between their original calculation of how many points they needed- and the actual number of points they will need since the reallocation)

I assume 25 points for current owners, not new owners?

Yes. You would have to be a member to buy a 25 point add on contract from Disney.

You could buy a new membership from Disney (with the minimum number of points for that) and an add on of 25 points at the same time, though.

And as I think you already know, you could buy a resale contract and after it closes, you would be a member and thus could buy a 25 poit add on contract.

So, say I bought a 25 pt. add-on at BLT. How would that dovetail with my SSR points when making ressies? Could I make a BLT ressie at 11 months with only 25 BLT pts? (Sorry to ask such a dumb question.)
