also, how would a moderate DVc work? Can't be cheaper points fungible with others @ 7 mths. That would create an uproar--and I don't think DVc would do that, as it would be a DVC public relations nightmare, IMHO--"DVC sold me points for $170PP and the next year opened a resort @ $99PP that can be used at my resort @ 7 mths."
Only way it could work would be relativily high points price, but cheaper points per night, for sales of lower package purchases. So, 10 points per night for peak season studio, 20 points 1BR, with lower points in off seasons. That way, a family of 4 can buy 100 points for $17K and be able to stay 5 nights in a 1 BR or 10 nights in a studio peak times, with other times of the year being a full week in a 1BR. At $6X170=$1020 in annual fees that might be able to be marketed as double the nights as a cash stay for a studio, or getting a full kitchen, etc. for less than the price of a moderate. But the only way the numbers work is either disregard capital outlay or annual fees. Taken together, I cannot see someone wanting to buy this. I understand the DVC to deluxe cash rate marketing, as the rack rates are very high. But, the moderate rates have a much lower rack rate, so don't know how marketing would do that?
