According to their website. $182/point.How much are points direct now? And at which resorts? We bought 18 years ago and added on a few times in 04, 07 and 11. Two Home resorts and theMountof points we own serves us quite well.
Just curious.

I bought 50 Poly in December. Now I wish that I had the other 25 but the Poly is $220/point. That is ridiculous!!
You know that we could have another economic downturn, and the price could go down again, so I am waiting for that.
We bought 250 points at OKW and another 250 at SSR and paid about $60 PP average per point (OKW was less). We did that before Disney took away all of the perks for resale, so we get all of them except we cannot book cruises. I don't know if I care about the other benefits retail buyers received because I don't miss those benefits. I did try to book a cruise with points, and that was disappointing to not be able to do that.
The only discount that really matters to me is the AP discount. I wish our kids could all get that. Our daughter is on the OKW contract with Rick, so she could get that benefit.
Our sons don't get that AP discount. If anyone knows a way around it, PM me. Their last names are the same. What are they going to do, change their drivers' licenses to our home address? That would be silly. I have seen that people do get by with getting that discount for their grown kids.
It was significant savings for this year. We saved $315 per person on AP's with our DVC membership. That is huge.
You can do it yourself around $40 or LT transfers for around $175.I just started the process of adding our son to one of our deeds in order for him to become a real member (not an associate member). We are same as you....our daughter is a joint owner on one of our contracts (joint survivorship I think?). We are going to add our son to our deed on another contract. You need to contact DVC member administration and tell them what you want to do. It does involved retitle and redeed and does have a cost involved (around $475 to the title company, or more or less depending on who you use, but I am sticking with American Title). I was also told that when we pass on, then these deeds would not have to go thru Florida probate. I'm not bothering with the ones that expire in 2042. Also Disney does not make you go thru the whole ROFR process or anything like that. To me it is a small cost to cover a few decades of membership for our son. He can also purchase the Tables in Wonderland card too.
How soon and why? It'll take a couple of months at best. Doing it yourself will be the fastest. There are ways to cut corners if you truly need it done quickly. The cost is per contract is there's more than one. They actually do make you go through the same full process, they just give an automatic waiver when adding a family member. They also don't cancel pending reservations. You may be able to purchase the TIW and get the second card for him for a fee though you likely don't need to do both. Remember any contracts that are titled differently become essentially a new member so you'll have 3 separate ones that you can't combine directly (your name, + daughter, and + son).Thank you Dean. The person at DVC administration did tell me that....I have to read over the info that was sent. I need it done sooner rather than later. That is my project for today.
