They are joking right upping poly and alluani to 168 a point. My mind is blow how people are buying these points. 42000 for 250 points!?!?!?!?!

Just got the same email. I wonder if the sales already warrant a price increase.

I can't imagine it could be just a tactic to try and get people moving if they were on the fence. They are on track for 200 a point before we know it

I got the email and thought it interesting that they were only jumping the price by $3 a point. I thought the usual jump was in increments of $5.

They owe it to shareholders to raise the price by what they believe the economy will support. In the old days, I believe they raised prices as little as $1.25 per point.

If China does not bring down the US economy, I suspect there will be two more increases before spring 2017.

I wouldn't be surprised if they raised it again when they finally finish the East pool (spring or summer 2016). Right now, they have been selling a resort that is no where near as complete as Kidani, BLT, VGC, or VGF were when they opened (or during their first 12-14 months of operation).

I also suspect another price increase after "Moana" comes out in 2016. A Disney movie with the central character being a Polynesian princess is great advertising for both PVB and Aulani.

Currently, $155 for older resorts & $170 for BLT. Wow!
