I purchased 160 points via resale earlier this year at SSR. Almost immediately after closing, I got the addonitis bug. I’ve been going back and forth as to buying more vs. waiting for Riveria to open. With the chances of direct prices going up again in January and not knowing the price for Riveria, I decided to see if there was any points available for other resorts. I called earlier this week to ask about SSR or OKW points. For reference I have a September UY. I was told there is a waitlist for more SSR points, but I could have the OKW points right away. I wanted to add 80 points. The person assisting me was able to put a “hold” on the points for me, since I was still going back and forth on it. I called her back this morning, and they were still on hold, so I decided to make the purchase! My feeling is with the rate OKW is being bought back, and the fact that it’s hard to find the extended UY, this was the best option for being able to own at SSR and OKW. And yes I know buying for the perks is very hotly contested, but I’ll have the benefits of said perks while I still saved money on my resale purchase. At the end of the day I still saved a good amount of money by purchasing my larger contract resale.
