Has anyone gotten this offer in the mail?

We just got a postcard in the mail. It's an offer for $1500 or more when you purchase real estate interest in DVC resort.

Has anyone used this? We are seriously considering purchasing - have been thinking about it for about a year.

Assuming what you received is actually something official from Disney and not someone trying to defraud you, it sounds like Disney's "magical beginnings" program (been around in one fashion or another for many years) where you buy at least the minimum 150 points and then Disney buys back the first year's allotment of points for $10 per point and applies the amount to your down payment. You do lose that first annual allotment of points although you still have to pay dues during this year, but it is a relatively fair deal -- not real bad, not real great either.

Yes, it's legitimate...it's a postcard from Disney to take advantage of their Magical Beginnings offer. I received one in today's mail, but I just bought a BWV resale.

I got it also, but what struck me as interesting was the expiration date of the offer is May 31, 2003. I had been wondering how long they would be offering this MB deal. Now it looks like I have the answer, and a bit more time to play around with the idea of an add-on.
