BLT Founders List

[Mean Queen]

I just spoke to my guide about a half hour ago. There are still founders spots open, but she said she thinks they'll be gone soon. I'd love to be a founder, but it's not in the finances now. I'll just have to hope I can buy in still when I do have the money.

We finally got to speak live with our guide and bought our 160 point add-on. Now we are just doing the waiting game to see if we made the Founder's List. I know it is not that big of a deal to many, but we thought it was a pretty cool thing. All our guide could tell us was that she would know if we made it in a day or two. I'm not sure exactly what that meant, but I wonder if there is any way other than bugging our guide to verify. We have not yet seen our add-on on the website yet. Well, here's hoping!!

Any word yet on how many, if any, spots are left??

The day that my points showed up I called my guide to double check on the Founder's List. I want to say it was Tuesday of this week. She said that we were good because she mentioned several times how they were going to let them know when the list was close to full and she said nope, you're good because we haven't gotten word that the list is full and we are still taking contracts for it. It sounded pretty reasonable to me....hoping that's the case!

I just talked to my guide who told me, that without any doubt, ONLY current DVC members are allowed to be Founding Members of BLT. Even if there were any spots were left to the general public (which there won't be), they are not allowed to be founding members. AND, he also told me that they sold over 5.4 Million dollars worth of points on the Members only cruise (90% of which was BLT), that didn't even include what has been sold already, or what is waiting to be entered which he says is HUGE!

He said that he personally has paperwork for over 600 contracts, 90% of which are BLT.

I found this all very interesting as he likes to make sure he knows more than us here on the DIS . And he made doubly sure the information he gave me is correct by checking with his supervisor's supervisor which he told me is #2 in charge of everything DVC. Just passing along what I was told.

Just some more founders info - when you receive your paperwork, there will be a separate page to sign regarding founding members - if its not in your packet, you aren't a founding member. For those whose purchase was conditioned on founding status, you'll definitely know if you got in when you get your contract.

I bought yesterday and am on the Founders List. I was told it will be closed once the cruise contracts go in. I think there will be more than 1000 of us - our brinck gets smaller LOL

Does that mean you've rec'd your contract? Or is that what your guide told you?

Just curious if the contracts are actually going out already ...

 

[honeymo78]

Got my contract yesterday

 

[DiznEeyore]

Great ... thanks!!

I have my contract too.

Just getting it straight...for those who have already received their contract, there definitely was some paperwork about Founder's List in your packet?

 

[Avojeo]

Just curious on how much the points are going for at BLT??

 

[las3888]

It's $112 per point with $5 off for anything over 100 (or 160.???) I think it was 100. I hope that helps!

I purchases 160 points on the member's cruise on Wednesday and I was told that 600 contracts had been sold for BLT. Guide guaranteed founding member status and put it on the contract

 

[jarestel]

The most important thing to us was to get the amount of points we needed at our new home, and we bought in on the first day, so that makes it special to us. Doesn't matter to us if anyone else knows about it or not.

You should do what makes sense for you. However, I can pretty much guarantee that there will be 1000 people who feel differently.

I have finally talked my husband into adding on!!
I'm thinking 100 points. I tried calling my guide first thing this morning and she is off today.

Couple questions
what is the down payment % for add ons? Is it 5% or 10%?
when would be the soonest that you could use the points (if we wanted to use any next summer, is that possible?)
do you think that because sales appear to be strong that they will have better incentives down the road? DDP?

Thanks!
