Anybody just buy DVC???

I was wondering what sort if incentives they used to rope you in. Different people I have talked to have gotten different perks. Just wondering what you got. (Maybe I can negotiate?!?!?!?!)

The different incentives are related to where to you buy (WDW, DLR, or Chicago), and to when you buy.

DVC does not negotiate...

I know someone who went on the tour while they were on the vacation and decided to buy. They had given them some coupons to enjoy lunch while they thought about it, and then bought back a years worth points to cover the vacation they were on. I also spoke to a sales guy the other day and he said because I knew someone that I would get a $500 Dis gift card. I am wondering if there is anything else like that.

If you feel you are being "roped in", maybe you should reconsider buying DVC. You don't want to have any regrets later.

I don't feel like I an being roped in at all. I am just wondering what perks are available if I do buy! Of course I want the most for my $$$

Not to split hairs, but I doubt that people received different perks. Perks are things we get with ownership such as AP discounts, restaurant discounts, pool hopping and free valet parking at DVC resorts.

I think you meant to say incentives. And as DVC Mike pointed out, much of that difference is based on where you tour and buy, and what the incentives are at any given point (they change often but rarely improve over time).

I agree that you probably won't get far with negotiation. Disney is selling DVC very fast and they have no reason to get into negotiations with anyone. Mostly because it would quickly become known through sites like this and then they'd be negotiating with a lot of people.

Good luck in your purchase decision process.
