We've been actively looking for a resale for several months now with our June use year, but have had no luck as we only want 60 points. So, with the new AKV incentive: $97.00/point, 2009 points (prorated dues), our use year and no closing costs (as per usual), we are finally getting our add-on!:thumbsup2
Now it's all 1 beds for our 2 week July trips - yeah!!!

Anyone else adding on at AKV? Happy add-ons to all, Tiger :)
 
Congrats to you and your family!!
My DH and I just bought our first DVC contract in August direct from Disney. (AKV 100pts. ) We bought small to pay in cash. We knew full well we would need to buy more pts.....May be sooner than later if these incentives stay!:thumbsup2
 

We've been looking to add on at AKV. Are you getting to $97 by selling back the first year to DVC?

Nope, that's the old incentive. A new one started this week:

$112.00/pp - $15.00 discount = $97.00/pp
PLUS 2009 points, with prorated dues

Once you add-on 100+ points, you get a choice of promos:

1. As above $97.00/pp OR
2. 4 APs

HTH, Tiger :)
 
Talked to DVC today re AKV 150 point new contract. I was offered $97 per point plus 2008 points banked and 2009 points (dec use year), but offer ends 11/30/09. Something to think about!

Yup, for any December use years, you get 2008 points as well. Super good deal for that!

Our guide said the incentive was lasting longer then end of November - thought he said it was going on through December?

At any rate, it was a good deal to us as we got our small 60 point contract, with our June use year, no closing costs and prorated 2009 dues. Best part was that our points were in our account within 10 hours - it was the fastest ever! We used them the next morning to complete our July booking!

We waited months for an add-on, but could find nothing to suit our needs. Plus, costs for AKV have crept up, so there isn't even that much savings, or hardly any at all with smaller contracts like our contract.

Happy adding on to you, Tiger :)

Was this special offer just by calling them? Because that is much better than listed on the DVCnews.com update. I may have to try also.:thumbsup2

I heard about it on the DISboards, and then called my guide. We didn't get anything in the mail. Can't remember if there is anything on the DVC website? Not sure how they are communicating it to members?

At any rate, DVC news knows about the incentive, I think, so not sure why it's not listed on there. I am sending back my papers by FEDEX, so it's a legitimate offer as we gladly took part in it!

I am in the process of buying points at Animal Kingdom right now also, i was offered either the money off or 8 free annual passes, plus 2008 points....my guide advised me to wait and see if the holiday webcast deal thing is a better deal or not...he also said this offer doesn't expire until after December, i think its until january 10th or something like that.
 
We did a 110 point add-on at AKV in May direct with Disney. Tried resale, but just wasn't working out. We did take advantage of the free cruise offer. Great deal we thought:cool1::cool1:

Thanks for the update that the AKV offer extends past 11/30. Any hints out there on the upcoming webcast?
 
Was offered 2008 points and 2009 points Dec UY for $97 point. Guide said it expires end of Nov. Really debated on old offer of either 2008 points or additional $5 off. And was smart to hold off - I'm ready to buy! :banana:

But then got the holiday webcast email and now am at a crossroads. Buy now, get the additional year or wait and see if webcast is better offer?

UGH...:confused3

i have my papers i need to sign to send back for my 160 points at Animal Kingdom, which i was told i would get 2008 and 2009 points plus 8 free annual passes or the cash off.....my guide told me to hold off sending the papers until i see the webcast just in case it is a better deal, then if not we will just go through with what we have....so i am hoping he was correct in saying that the deal doesn't end until after december!

As long as you have started the process and have your papers, you will be able to get the deal that you were offered (even if it were to end) so you will be okay waiting for the webcast.

I did that last winter. I started the process and a better deal came out before I closed (I had even sent the papers back) and they allowed me to switch to get the other one.

I'm confused. If they give you 2008 points with a Dec. UY won't they expire in a couple of weeks or do they give you some special way to bank them. Please explain how this works??? I have a Dec. UY and this offer seems appealing.

I'm very curious as to how banking the 2008 points would work in this situation also. :confused3

through the "magic" of buying pts, they will automatically bank pts that are past the normal banking window for direct purchasers. it's fairly normal.
