4/1/22 Price Increase?

[CaptainAmerica]

Out of curiosity - what was the previous BWV sale?

Base price was $210. November and the first half of December 2021.

To add, I don’t think it increased sales in any meaningful way either..neither did BLT deals in February. .

That is why I don’t see them doing this for sold out resorts until they have a chance to sell VGF for awhile.

Theres a lag in the numbers report by dvcnews(?) right? Might have been enough time for the BWV deal but certainly not the BLT one yet I dont think?

I don't think it's supposed to. I think the primary purpose is to have an outlet for ROFR points. Keeping the ROFR floor high reduces the appeal of resale (which they obviously want), but it leaves Disney with points on hand that they're not easily able to sell at sold out prices.

ROFRing and then selling Boardwalk isn't about selling Boardwalk. You ROFR Boardwalk to inflate Boardwalk resale prices, which helps you sell Riviera.

Pulled the numbers from dvc news, looks like they did have some kinda impact.

BLT jan points sold direct was 2690, Feb was 6009.

BWV was 3585 nov, 6302 dec 4363 jan then only 1855 feb.

While not a huge amount of the overall direct point sold, if they were scooping them up through rofr and selling at a 30-40 dollar per point premium, decent chunk of change.

WOW! That's a lot of BWV points to sell... hopefully raising the price will slow that roll and they'll stop taking so many contracts.......

They would be making $150pp profit on VGF and RIV so it's still just a drop in the ocean really once you account for admin costs of doing ROFR.

I don’t think that alt all. I think it was a strategy to spark sales given the current r climate by running the sale.

I don’lr think we ever now or will now what is behind the decisions for ROFR. One is to fill wait lists, one may be to add more points to their own inventory to sell for cash, and maybe even yo just complete points they have run a unit to meet certain things.

Yes there is a lag but I think the numbers for the first part of the sale at least indicate a general trend on buyers who went for that.

But, when you dig deep into the number, you still saw average contracts lower than the 150 which means more add ons than new buyers.

RIV just rollercoasting around 180-190, see what tomorrow brings

RIV now $188 for 200 points until 2nd June or $196 for new members.

Wow wow wow the new incentives at VGF stink. It must be selling like mad.

 

[BeachClub2014]

Unless I am reading the information incorrectly, it looks like the existing member incentives went down at RIV, as well.

I saw on another post that DVC had record sales in the first 2 weeks of VGF going on sale to members....

 

[hglenn]

Hard to get excited about those incentives for new members..... bummer. I was hoping that today would be the day we would become members but after seeing what was offered to existing I'm not so sure..... 175 minimum for a $2 discount at VGF....?
