disney grand california sale start 1-25-09 for founding members

[KAT4DISNEY]

My guide just received the price/point $112 the same as BLT. And he's still not sure if the min buy in is 100 points or lower. But he said if purchasing 100 pts min there's a $5 GC incentive. MF is $3.82/pt.

Thanks!!!!

Oh - any point charts?

I was on the fence between 90 and 100 pts, looks like Disney has just pushed me over to the 100 mark if that $5 incentive is true
GREAT MF's too!!!!

No luck on that front. He said it'll probably be posted online as soon as it is available.

Generally, can you break up a 100 pt purchase into 2 50 pt contracts and still get the incentive?

Yes, I've done this in the past.

Any mention of developer points, gift cards or annual passes?

A few weeks ago my DL guide told me they were discontinueing the AP incentive. I still have my vouchers from our original purchase which expire in July. I had asked her if we could trade those in for a new expiration date if we can't make it to DL by then (something she had told us we could do when we purchased in late 07). She said they were discontinuing the incentive, but if they had any left over vouchers I could probably trade, but she didn't think they would....

So, looks like no APs. I'm hoping we'd get some dev points since we won't be able to stay until 2010. Not sure how they'd work that though, would they give Dev points that could only be used at SSR to people buying in Cali? I guess it would be ok if you could also trade those out of DVC...

$5/pt GC (Gift Card) if purchasing a min 100 points.

Thanks so much for the info!!

Now I really, really want a point chart! The MF's sound great! (At least for now . . . ) I also am really hoping that the minimum is less than 100 b/c we just really don't need that many more points and MF's.

I'm in for probably 200 points (half to see that point chart first). I love those low MFs. I wouldn't mind some developer points either. Maybe if sales aren't as brisk as I think they will be they will offer them down the road and we can get them retroactively.

 

[bethy]

Yes, and then we could use the DP's at one of the DLR hotels!

Do they typically do that? What's the usual timeframe for a retroactive credit?

They did it at BLT. Initially (sp) there were no developer points, then to increase sales they started offering them and any original buyers who asked got the developer points retroactively. But that doesn't mean they will do that way every time. We can only hope.

 

[Laurabearz]

And idea when points charts will be ready??

I think that they are still awarding the developer points retroactively to early buyers of BLT. If you bought BLT before the DPs were offered and you have not received your DPs call your guide and they will hook you up.

Still waiting to see what the minimum add on is then we will make our decision. With the economy being the way it is a little patience may pay off as the pot begins to sweeten as sales begin to slow

 

[amyup]

I talked myself into not buying but....I think I'm going to have to
Everyone is at the same conclusion as I, that it will be nearly impossible to get in at 7 months right?? Why isn't that dang money tree growing??

Any idea how early you had to buy to get the DP's? We bought in late October.

 

[Grumpygrandpa]

It looks as if though you won't be able to stay at the Grand on points after 2009. If the only way to stay at the Grand with points is at the 50 2 bedrooms GCV suites 7 months will be impossible, but I have a strong feeling that more of the hotel may converted to DVC down the road. Who knows. Show me the point chart! (in my best Tom Cruise impersonation).

What are the MFs for BLT?
