It was only a matter of time before they closed the loop hole of people buying big contracts resale and then buying the minimum 25 add ons for member perks.

I got blocked from a DVC member group page on FB for stating as such. And for defending myself when I was told I was "lied to" by my agent because when we bought in there was a 160 point minimum purchase. People came on and started bashing me saying there was never a minimum for initial purchases, defended myself and then noticed yesterday I got banned. Big babies, lol.

I'm actually surprised they didn't make it 100.

What is going on with people and FB? I've realized there are a whole lot of nasty, self serving people out there. They remind me of the little man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz. You're better off without them!

Ditto on the 100!!!

Ugh that page drove me nuts anyway. It was nothing but a bunch of people bashing other people for asking questions. Or bashing people that buy direct as stupid, and "drinking the Disney Kool aid" and getting ripped off and how resale buyers were smarter, blah blah blah. It was like watching a bunch of five year olds argue all day lol but yet I'm the one that gets removed because I made a point about how there used to be a 160 minimum just to buy into DVC and a bunch of new owning DVC people started bashing me that I was a liar because there was never a minimum, that my agent lied to me just to make a sale, blah blah blah. So I had to defend myself, I log in the next day and the page was gone lol so clearly they removed me. But yet the 30 that screamed at a woman complaining about tie dyed towels all stayed...I'm really getting to the point that I can't stand FB anymore.

There's always been a first-time-purchase minimum contract, as far as I can tell. So you are absolutely right. When we first look to buy, the minimum was 250 points. It eventually came down to 190 for a period, which is when we bought. Once you have a "full" contract, you can add on in smaller increments. I doubt that's changed for new buyers wanting to purchase at a Wilderness Lodge today through Disney.

The comparison to the man behind the curtain in Oz is a good one - nasty anonymous opinions if you don't agree with exactly what they're saying. Life's too short for that stuff!
