50 pt purchase

[dbertola]

Is it true that Disney is now letting new members buy in with only 50pts? If so, is that for all resorts they are currently selling?

It is true! I just talked to my guide tonight and they are offering the buy in at all of the resorts they are currently selling, but there are no incentives. OKW is 90/ppt, SSR at 95/ppt, BLT at 120/ppt, AKV at 120/ppt, and GCV at 112/ppt.

They are also offering financing for the purchases and no closing costs.

I have to admit, I'm very tempted. I've been looking for a smaller contract for a while now.

Actually, free closing costs for a first-time buyer is a very nice incentive on a small contract. If you compare that to a small contract via resale, where you are looking at $325 for a 50 point contract (this is the amount we paid on a 50-pointer that closed in May). Divide that over 50 points and you've got an incentive of $6.50/point. Add in the 2009 points that they also tack on, with a market value of $10/point, as another incentive. So basically, buying a 50-point contract direct is a break-even proposition for a resale at $16.50/point cheaper. When buying AKV, that puts direct right in the same ballpark as resales... with the added perks of choosing your own use year and receiving immediate use of your points. For BLT, it easily beats the small resales.

i just used the chat on the dvc website and they told me 100 points was the lowest buy in amount?? How could i buy 50

 

[StitchFan73]

You can buy in for 50 points or any amount above that, but I was told you do pay closing costs-they just roll it into your loan. I could be wrong, but I would double check that. For all I know the guide I spoke to was wrong-I mean it's not unheard of

I bought a 50 pt contract in June while at Disney. I was under the impression that the 50pt contract was a June incentive and the it was for SSR and OKW. It certaintly was not the first thing offered by my guide, I had to mention it.

 

[KBazzel]

Yep, I had to ask for 50 points too. Was told no closing costs for SSR but there were closing costs for AKV.

I am so incredibly tempted. My guide is unavailable until next week though (cruising). Has anyone else successfully received this promotion?

 

[godalejunior]

Just added on 75 VGC points direct....sent out signed papers today. Got 2009 points and no closing costs.

 

[bria_n17]

Yea i did find out that you can buy in at 50 points, its just not really mentioned until you ask. Does anyone know how much longer until BLT will sell out?

Does anyone know if you can buy in at BCV for 50 points with no closing costs? I want to have another use year without breaking the bank
Thanks,

Yes BCV is available @ $115 no closing costs and you can get 2009 points.

THANKS! Will have to call my guide tomorrow

my guide said that the 50 point buy may be only temporary and the no closing costs are for sold out resorts only. Buying in at 50-60 points to start would be perfect for me and then add on in a few months (since I'm not interested in financing). He did say this may only last a few more days. Does anyone have experience with incentives like this? Ideally I would like to purchase points in August or September, but I'm wondering weather Its smarter to get in sooner if this is really temporary. I'd rather not rush, but would hate to miss a good deal.

GOOD LUCK ON BCV THEY DID NOT HAVE SEPT. USE YEAR WHEN I CALLED

Wow. That is great news.

My guide told me there were many UY available... the only thing that stopped me was I am going to take the chance on a Feb UY & wait for the free points.
