Is there any difference between

adding on over the phone and adding on in person???

As I approach my next vacation (July 19) I know that I need to add on points...I saved for this one and really happy that I can do this in cash ....though I am quite sure I could use the money for something else but as I know my love of Disney trumps everything else


so should I do the add on in early july like I planned or wait until I arrive?

The incentives may not be the same. It may be better to add-on now over the phone if you believe the incentives won't be as good. If you add-on onsite, you may get some instant FastPasses.

I just added on over the phone on Thursday night. My points were in my account Friday afternoon. I haven't even gotten the paper work yet. boy that was fast. The current incentives are due to end/change on Monday 6/15, so my guide was working throughout the weekend to process BLT add ons. No one can guranteed that the next set of incentives will be better or worse. Good luck! I added on BLT and took the $8 incentive and the 3 day cruise, plus paid with my chase visa and got the 1% reward (= $100). I felt good that this was the best incentive choice for me. FYI -- there are some really good incentives out there right now, but end on Monday. You should take a look! "no pressure."

Hi, I added on yesterday(BLT 175pt,) over the phone.(It was almost TOO EASY!!) It literally took 10 minutes!! We are going to be in WDW in July and I thought of WAITING also. But with the $8. + 8. incentive at this time, I figured I would go ahead and do it because this deal is changing on Monday June 15th. And my guide did tell me that BLT would drop to only $5. off per point on Monday. She did say AKV and SSR would remain the same?? She TOLD me this info AFTER I had purchased and we were just chatting. So I guess THAT is what she has heard. Joan

Not usually, and at BCV you will pay the higher(going) rate. I asked about adding on there before BLT became available. I have 125 pts there which USED to be fine for 4 nites in Feb. (Pres. Week) but it no longer is, so I only have 3 nites nowand will need to add more night(s) at the 7 month window.(if I can) So eventually I will need to add on 25 points there also!! By the way my PRINCESS DD is 24 and has been going to Disney since she was 2 years old and still LOVES it!! In fact she is living in Hawaii now BUT will be joining us in WDW for our July trip. It will be her 25thwhen we are in WDW and we do plan on CELEBRATING!! (I noticed your tag ) Joan

It depends on who your Guide is. Some Guides don't work at WDW and adding on there means your Guide has to split the commission. A split commission means less freebies.
