It's 12:12am on 2/3, Have BCV incentives been released

[Debby7]

Any one know if NY is approved for BCV sales? I am waiting for our guide to answer my email. We are not going to WDW until Dec. Thanks !

Here's another question - If you purchase a new contract, when will you be able to use those points to make a reservation? In March? Or in June when the deed is recorded? Or in August when the BCV officially open?

Yes we have 175 pts at bwv since Jan 2000. Should have bought more then, but you know what they say about hindsight. We have been in the area for about 4 years. When is warms up, look for my DH, he is in that river almost every day after work all summer long. I swear he should just live on city island.

Debby7 - no, NY is not approved. In fact when my guide called me yesterday, she said she couldn't even give me info over the phone because I live in NY. I will see her in a couple of weeks when we are down there!

Grotto, I am doing a new purchase and I was told by a guide this morning that I could make my reservation in March for the BCV for this August.

Terry, maybe you'll know the answer to this one....

I understand that beginning in March you can make reservations for BCV for August. The question is, beginning in March could you use your BCV points to reserve another DVC for a stay between March and August? I'm guessing the answer is no and that's why they are offering the free stay incentives. Do you know for sure?

 

[Terry S]

PamOKW, I posted this for you on the other thread, but my understand, I may not know what I am talking about, but my understanding is no, you can not stay at any resort until after BCV is open, you can make the reservation following the 11/7 month rule, but can't acutally stay anywhere until August. I think this has to do with the fact that there is not inventory at BCV to in essence "trade" to the other resort that you would be staying at.

Then it follows that I should be able to use my BWV points right now (really Monday, when MS opens) to make a reservation for an August stay at BCV. It's within the 7 month window.

I not really going to though, but it only seems right that the non-BCV DVC resort owners be able to make reservations at BCV (subject to the 7 month window) if BCV owners will be able to make reservations at the non-BVC DVC resorts for stays beginning in August.

Can't imagine it would work any other way.

CarolMN... Actually, no one can make ressies at BCV until March 6th, but after that you are correct you or anyone else could make them in the 7th month window for stays after August 1st.
