I have been trying to sort through all of the info on how the direct and resale work and specifically how they work together. I am interested in buying DVC, but would like to purchase 100 direct for the perks but save on the rest of the points by purchasing Resale. I know there is plenty of info on why the perks aren't guaranteed or likely worth it, but it's just my preference. My question is really in regard to the sequencing of the 2 purchases. It is my understanding that when you buy Direct and you already own a contract, Disney will align your Use Year to your current contract. If I am following this correctly, the best way to maximize the purchases is to purchase your initial DVC points via Resale, and get the best deal possible, and then contact Disney to add 100 points. Those add on points would match the Use Year of your original Resale Purchase and you would get the DVC card. Is that a correct understanding?
