So I received an amazing deal on 160 AK points and no one in my life seems to be anywhere near as excited or appreciate as I am. :confused3 Actually, I dont know anyone that is in to DVC besides myself...and all of you! This is why I'm sharing my good deal with you wonderful and understanding folks!

About a month ago I went to DVC's first West Coast party on the very first night and took advantage of their special of 160 AK points at $8 off, plus 2 AP to either WDW or DL, and a week vacation at various places (they had about 15 locations and it was first come first serve). I was the first to pick a vacation and ended up with a two bedroom condo on the beach in Maui for the second week of December :goodvibes My DH and I had already talked about Hawaii in December so this was just too good to pass on. **more good deals to come....keep reading!

I got home, thought it over, and was debating on if I should take the deal or not (we didnt sign paperwork there) because I'm still working on paying off my SSR contract. I've never seen AK and I could add more to my SSR via resale for less. I ended up visiting WDW in early June, checked out AK, and fell in love! When I came home I decided that I DID want the add on only if I could postpone payments for a handful of months while I finished paying of SSR (the AK points have an Oct YU but I dont get my first 160 until next May).

I played phone tag w/ my rep for about a week and spoke with her yesterday.
She said we could hold off payments for a few months which just sweetened the deal (I wont have to do double payments for a handful of months) and THEN I found out yesterday that Disney Visa is offering the 500 Disney Dollars for DVC add ons! I called them this morning and found out that sure enough I'm going to get 500 Disney Dollars!!!

In conclusion: 160 points at $8 off, 2 AP, a week in Maui, and 500 Disney dollars!!!

I'm right to be so excited, yes??? ::yes:: I just wish those around me could understand!!

Man, that is great-- good for you! :thumbsup2
I already told DH that they better not offer any sweet incentives for BLT, or he will need to keep me away from the computer! We had the rational "talk", and we will not be adding on--just hoping to book at the busiest times of year at the seven month window--oh yeah, that'll happen!:rotfl2:

Hmmmm....I was at the DL event and looked at the 160 pt deal. Decided no because Hawaii all was "sold" and there were mostly Lake Tahoe's left. Now, I love LT - lived there for 16 yrs before moving off the "hill" to Reno. However, if I had done that I potentially could have been getting a massage from one of my DH's friends! :rotfl2: Never would have dreamed they were holding for others w/o deposit.....but a big congratulations to you! Maui is awesome.

And BTW - we're going to WDW instead with the Dev. Pts we got with our 100 pt add on at the event. Not Hawaii, but not bad I think! ;)

No no, I did indeed make the deposit but I just hadnt done all of the paperwork because they were trying to turn a lot of people in the short amount of time. They weren't "holding" it, I just hadnt gone through all of the motions and had time to mull it over at home. And since I was at the party on the very first night, then rushed out of the room to grab an appointment card, then rushed upstairs knowing what I was going for I ended up being the first person to get a vacation!! The timing just lined up.

I'm so glad all of you agree that I got a good deal! Can someone convince my husband??? :thumbsup2

My bad....I misread! Those really were great deals that they had going on. Well worth attending for sure! And, as I said, we're happy with what we got - I should thank you for removing the temptation since GCV is where we do want to buy more points! :hippie: And to DH of moredisneyplease - people are jealous of what your DW got her hands on - she got an awesome deal!!!! ::yes::

What do you mean by "tapestry"? Were people actually receiving AKLV items?? Thats interesting. I'd rather have some APs then a tapestry! :lmao:
