We purchased our first contract a year ago. 175 points direct at VGF. As I was warned last year, the adonitis bug would bite me soon. I was doing so good and in no rush to add on until today and now I’m really thinking about buying another 150 points while the getting is good. I have not run this idea by DH yet and I’m sure he will shut me right down. However, I can be pretty persuasive when it comes to anything Disney, since it’s my happy place. I’ve already spoken to my guide earlier to get all the figures.
I forgot to ask her and I skimmed through here, but I didn’t see a clear answer. I have a Feb UY now. If I add on does my new purchase have to have the same UY or can I pick another one? Should I even pick another one? And which other UY would be best? Both my contracts will be VGF, which is fine with me since I do love it there. We will definitely travel the first week of May every year for our anniversary. We have also been known to go in mid-July for my birthday, but I also want to take a trip sometime in the fall/winter like maybe September or early December. Honestly, my goal is to add some weekend trips throughout the year, as our points and work schedules allow. Mostly it’s just DH and I so we would book DS. But I would imagine maybe once a year, my 2 kids and their families, making it 8 of us total, would want to tag along, meaning we would need a 2 BR, which would take up a whole 150 point contract on its own for just a 3-4 night visit.
Getting back on track now, I like the thought of buying a contract still in a 2022 UY since we don’t need the points at the moment and I wouldn’t have to pay the dues and could save that little bit of money. I need to save as much money as I can so I can convince DH to get on board.
I saw a few pages back about a Disney Visa incentive, but from what I understand that’s expired, correct?
Speaking with my guide earlier, she quoted me 150 points at around $24,000 after all incentives including MB, welcome home credit since I already have a trip scheduled, plus the 5 free points credit and the developer credit. Is that as good as it gets or am I missing anything else?
