Anyone ever use their points to stay at the Poly?

We have a big anniversary coming up (15 years), and would like to stay at the Poly (using points). I was wondering what type of rooms you could get if you decide to stay Club Level. I noticed that if you pay cash for Club Level, there is lagoon view, and garden view. But when I look at my DVC materials, they just list club level, (59 points per night, value season), and it does not specify the view. Anyone have any info. on this?
Thanks.

I didn't even know you could use points to stay anywhere other than DVC resorts.

We have used our point to stay at the CS. Pretty good deal. But, here's the catch. You can't cancel and/or reschedule. You would forfit all the points for that stay. I'm not sure how many points we used, I need to check with DW. It wasn't that much..... Call DVC, they are very helpful.........

Why not sell your points and use the money (which woulod work out cheaper) to pay for the better view? I have noticed points going for an average of $10. per.

Not quite right. When you stay at a resort other than a DVC unit, they exchange the DVC points for RESERVATION points. If you make changes, they can't be put back into DVC points, and you have to use them before the end of the use year.

I stay at the Poly many times with DVC points. While it will cost you more points per night to stay there, it still works out well under the per night rates you'd pay otherwise.

Check DVCMember.com for point charts for all the resorts. Here is a link to the Poly chart. It has basic, lagoon & Big Kahoona or whatever the concier level is.

I second that. You will work out much better especially if Disney is running a special on room rates.
