I just added on a 50 point Riviera contract and am using it to bank and borrow with my current 2019 usage year for a 2020 reservation (i.e. I can bank 2019, use 2020 and borrow 2021 for a 2020 reservation of up to 150 points). I know Tuggers are predicting a big loss in resale value for Riviera under the new rules where resale does not allow exchanging into legacy resorts. This is why I bought a small contract so if/when I sell I don’t take a beating. IN the meantime, there is no downside to me as a DVC member since I can use it for all resorts past and future. I wanted a contract specifically for Riviera so I can book at 11 months. I am guessing some other people may want that too and future resale buyers may buy Riviera either to book at 11 months or because they end up loving Riviera. For couples and singles, the studios there are a great value. Riviera is near Epcot and will likely fill up during the festivals in spring and fall. Anyone else buy Riviera yet or thinking of adding on? What is the smallest resale amount allowed for new buyers?
