Even for new points, contracts submitted after 1/19, it isn’t THAT big of a “punishment”. You can still trade within the 14 legacy resorts. Obviously, I don’t know your reason for buying additional points, but unless it was specifically to stay at Riviera (which you can still do with your current contract), nothing has substantively changed. The people who are really getting hosed are the Riviera buyers.
@Turn the Page - I understand your point of view, but you have no idea what life will be like for you or your family in 50 years. And now, this is essentially like any other timeshare. If some devastating life event happens and you need to get out from under your DVC contract, it will potentially be more difficult under “DVC II” than the current system.
Honestly, given that DVC is throwing rules/historical practices out the window left and right, who’s to say this new DVC will even have a 50 year contract? What if it is lifetime? After all, that is The Industry Standard...
