I am confused about this new offer. We had planned to go next summer and stay at AKL. Now we are thinking it would be a better use of that money to put it toward DVC. But I am looking at around a 320-400 point purchase broken into at least 2 contracts. Matching points would get me a week in a two bedroom at SSR with points left over. It is my understanding that matching points must be used at SSR. So is this a new offer of a 5 night stay or what?
As an almost-new-DVCer I think you must use your money for paying the DVC instead of using it for staying at a resort, but it depends in how frequently you travel to WDW.
If you buy it you must travel as this:
1.- You must go each year and to use your points and avoid to loose them.
2.- You must go every other year, in wich case you can bank points from one year to another (or borrow from the next year to use this year) and have a double amount of points you have bought, Wow!!!
3.- Or you must go at least once in the middle of two years, in this case you must bank points from the first year to the second and borrow points from the third to the same "middle year" to get a total of "THREE TIMES OF YOUR TOTAL POINTS"!!! double WOW....
And yes it seems to be a new offer instead the developer points (that are the same amount of your total purchase of points), because in that offer you receive the same points you bought for free for using it until October 3rd. In that case if your total amount was for a 2BR then you will receive a 2BR free for a hole week and more than that a $5 of per point wich is best to save that money that based on the amount of points could save you (if you buy 400 points) up to $2,000.
A lot more compared to the $1,000 gift card (that you can only use buying at Disney stores) and the 5 day vacation.
If you already have a guide that said you about the first offer you could ask her to maintain you the same, but if you don´t, I don´t think so.
