How many of you are adding on due to the current incentive??

[kritter]

Wondering how many of you are adding on due to the current incentive. If you are how much and where??

I am guilty adding on 200 at SSR......

 

[maciec]

We did added on last week. 120 points at AKL, but it really didn't have anything to do with the current incentive. For us it was the 11 month booking window. We would have liked to have done 160, but we just can't afford it right now.

The addition of our first grandson was partly the reason for our current add-on. It also helped that DVC had our current use year available at OKW that had the 15 year extension. I know, there pros and cons on doing the extension (which I did on the rest of our contracts), and I know I won't be around at the end (or maybe, I'll only be 107 in 2057). I also did it to even off the split between my two kids when they get it. Orig contract is 230, add on of 60 a few years later and 170 now. Call me crazy, but we love going there and would hate to see our kids, grandkids and maybe great grandkids, not be able to afford to go in the future.

We are debating an add-on of 160 or 200 at SSR with the current incentives. We want the points anyway but the incentives may be reason enough to go ahead and add. We already have 340 points with 290 at SSR and 50 at HHI. We are a Dec. UY so the current deal seems almost too good to pass up. Our only hesitation is having dues of over $2,000 per year. Decisions, Decisions.....

Oh the Dec. use year is the best deal out there.......
I hear you we have four hundred points now and DH wants two hundred more I think one sixt is good but the developer points too are greats!!!!!!!!

 

[madaboutMickey]

What are the current incentives?

My DH also wants to be at 600 points. He met a gentleman at AKV last week who was in the "600 hundred" club as he called it and DH now has it stuck in his head that he "needs" 600 points.

The money between 160 and 200 is not a huge difference. DH says get the 200 points and then I hesitate and think that 160 is enough. Are there really EVER enough points?!

Those developer points would be a really nice thing to have except that I am not sure when we would use them. We have 4 upcoming trips and the points have to be used in the next 12 months. I have never tried renting out points but I guess that we could do that with the 270 developer points if we cant fit in another trip. Too bad that things like work and school get in the way of our vacationing!!

I hear you too bad school does get in the way of the WDW trips. You could rent the points I am sure. I was thinking of doing that to a friend...

I believe the incentives are...
Buy 110 and get 100 Developer Points...
Buy 160 and get 160 Developer Points...
Buy 200 and get 270 Developer Points...

And of course you get the $500 Disney Dollars if you buy a minimum of 160 points and charge the downpayment to you Disney Visa.


I think it is also ten dollars off a point at SSR and eight at AKV!!!!!!!!!

 

[TenThousandVolts]

I am seriously considering an add-on. I can't decide between SSR and AKV. My home resort is SSR. I will probably add 110pts. Anyone know if I buy 200 points could I split it into 3 contacts (100, 60, 40)

 

[llmurphy17]

I just added on 110 pts at AKV since I needed points more for a family of 5 not four since my son will eventually turn three.

received the 100 incentive points

The current incentive cause a case of the Add-on-Ittis!

We were planning on an add-on and just waiting for the right time. We have 150 Mar. UY SSR points, and 270 TOTAL would have been perfect in our opinion... but the incentive spurred us on to an add-on of 160 pts. This will give us a total of 310, which is OK.

We added on 160 Dec. 2006 UY pts, with the 160 bonus as well, giving us LOTS of points to plan and travel over the next year or so!

I think that we must add 200 points! Are we crazy!! I cant stand to pass up a great opportunity since we want the points anyway. Being a Dec. UY at SSR we would have 670 points to play with (200-2006, 200-2007 & 270 delveloper). Yippeee!!!!

 

[dr&momto2boys]

Okay, we're relatively new DVC owners. Is this offer way better than most? The 270 developer points sound good, but I know my husband won't go for adding on 200 points. Right now we plan to go every other year to WDW, since we do A LOT of other traveling. We kind of think that there may be a resort added later that we won't be able to refuse. Contemporary? One on the monrail elsewhere? We couldn't pass those up!

 

[DisneyFreaks]

We definitely would be adding on but spent way too much on the trip we just returned from. We didn't know about the current incentives til after we got back yesterday. Shoot!

 

[kritter]

I think this is one of the better offers I have seen.

 

[diznycrazed]

The new incentives sure are giving me pause to reconsider waiting for the Contemporary. I didn't even know there were new ones out there until just reading it here. Is this something my sales rep should be sending me info on? We did purchase more points 2 yrs ago, but with kids getting older and wanting to bring friends, we just can't do the studios anymore.

Thanks for the info!

WHAT??????? We just returned last week. We visited SSR to view the rooms while we were there and no incentives where mentioned to us at all! This is the first I've heard of it! Did someone receive this offer in the mail?

 

[TenThousandVolts]

Anyone know if I buy 200 points could I split it into 3 contacts (100, 60, 40)

?anyone know?

Just to let you know we have done the same thing. Now have 320 points which should give them time to enjoy their grandchilds. I could still be going at 89 yrs. if they add assisted living somewhere.
