10. Alternatives to DVC.
DVC is a premium product, so before buying DVC I would recommend that you look into off-site alternatives which might meet your needs for less - notably Marriott, and Hilton.

Conclusion.
The best reason to buy into DVC is because of the positive experience of those on the Dibb who has bought into DVC. The financial calculations rely on assumptions which can be blown away by exchange rate movements. The only regrets DVC owners on the Dibb seem to have is that (a) they didn't do it sooner; and (b) that they didn't buy more points up front. It is that which sells DVC to me. Whilst DVC isn't for everyone, its members love it.

The original DVC 101 I wrote some years ago has been read nearly 30,000 times (quite possibly repeatedly by some people). Whilst I have updated it from time to time, I thought a more radical update was required - hence this 2014 version, albeit it is still based upon the original.
My thanks to Michelle for proof reading it before I posted it. Notwithstanding this, any mistakes herein are mine. Thanks also to Lizzim for correcting an error before the (virtual) ink was even dry - much appreciated. Good luck and happy reading to all.
