Incentives for BLT

[jcf]

Has there been any big changes? Maybe waiting for Fall?

Took the Doorway to Dreams tour in Roosevelt Field Mall today. They pushed BLT. Normally 120 a point now 110 a point. Plus that will front/match a years points. Loved seeing the room models and our kids had a blast in the kids room. Still trying to decide if it is for us.

What point level reduced it to $110?

 

[moepanz]

It did not matter what point level just as long as it was BLT.

 

[BWV Dreamin]

How many points did you have to buy to get it at $110/pt? Can anyone buy from the Door Way to Dreams?

Wow! Right now, you have to buy more than 125 if you call Disney to get anywhere near that discount.

I am calling the Doorway to Dreams this morning. They don't open until 11a. I am going to find out if this is indeed true. I want to purchase 60 pts. and haven't been able to find my UY on resales. I'll post back what the incentives are. Can I buy from there if I live in MD?

I am not positive but I don't know if you can buy with them over the phone. If you can, I may be calling as well. We were thinking of doing a 25 point add on and if you can get it at $110 for that level, I may go for it!

We are in NY, but that would be about a 5 hour drive.

This OP has given out the wrong information. I spoke with a guide from the Doorway to Dreams in NY today. Incentives for BLT...50-99 $6/off per point. 100 pts. $8.00/pt. If you were to buy 100 pts. at GCV...$10/pt off. 200 pts. at BLT gets you $10/pt. off. I wish these posters would get their facts straight before coming on here and giving out wrong information. So nothing different than what is being offered at the moment thru WDW.

Thanks for doing some leg work. Pretty much the same as what Disney is offering, although I believe onsite it doesn't go to $8.00 off until 125.

This is what is referred to in the timeshare industry as "Weasel Speak" -- timeshare salesman double-talk and half-truth. They are not giving you anything.

If you buy an August, September, October, or December Use Year (there is no November UY), you are purchasing during the 2009 UY because Aug, Sep, Oct, etc. are not here yet. The points they imply they are giving you are 2009 points that you are entitled to anyway -- not a gift at all.

What they are giving you that is of some value is the ability to bank those 2009 points into your 2010 UY. But you are not getting something for nothing -- nor are you getting a special price.

If you really want to buy BLT -- AND if an Aug, Sep, Oct or Dec UY works well for you (which it may not if you vacation primarily during the summer) -- the BLT "deal" is an okay deal.

If you don't want to buy BLT, or don't care, you should research further, including resale which is likely to save you a BUNCH of money.

In fairness, it was not the OP who posted that info.

Apologies to the OP. Sandisaw, thanks for the correction. The BLT tour takes another $2/pt off... thought she said 100, could be 125.

Ehh this isn't 100% accurate. I get what you are saying, but with that said. I recently purchased with a UY of Aug and got 09's points. My contract is for 50 years and has 50 years worth of membership dues in it. But I am getting 51 years worth of points because I got the extra 09 points.

You can get $12 off per point if you purchase over 250 at BLT. Just purchased 400 more two weeks ago. With last declaration, 86% full is what guide told me.

The declaration has to be done before they can sell. BLT is not 86% sold however.

Right...if I remember wdrl's latest number, there was 80-something declared, but only about 60% sold.

You don't understand Use Year.

To clarify, declaring means designating points as being available for owner points reservations. As stated, units have to be "designated" before those units can be sold to future owners.

So right now, what you have at BLT is a situation where significantly more inventory has been declared than has been sold. Which, in plain English, means that BLT reservations are a little easier to get than you'd think.

86% declared is correct
