Did you know the number of points available changes the price?
The number of points available on a contract also changes the price. If the contract is 150 points, that means you get that amount annually. If the points from the year prior weren't used and are banked, they are able to be used by the new owner. In contrast, if the seller borrowed points to use from the next year, there will be less points for the new owner to use. What's right for you will depend on if you're wanting more points for immediate use or not. It just depends on how and when you plan to book with your points and if you'd rather pay a little less upfront.

Is Riviera DVC resale worth it?
Disney's Riviera Resort operates under different rules. Those who purchase resale at Riviera can only use their points at this home resort. Also good to know, if you purchase resale anywhere else, you can't use your points at Riviera. It was the first DVC resort with such resale restrictions. However, if this is where you love to stay, it's a great value.
Resale owners aren't eligible for perks like special events. If you're ok with not being able to use your points for stays at other resorts and skipping DVC events and lounges, you can have the same great DVC resort stays for much less thanks to resale.
Plus, there are excellent amenities, like character dining, and you can see fireworks from Riviera resort.
