Late spring 2025 incentives (April 29-July 14)

[supercarrie]

Some of the incentive charts are beginning to be updated. Looks like they are effective April 29th, running through July 14th for this round. We'll see if any additional discounts come out, but on a per point basis, this is what I'm seeing:

Some of the incentive charts are beginning to be updated. Looks like they are effective April 29th, running through July 14th for this round. We'll see if any additional discounts come out, but on a per point basis, they appear slightly worse or the same, depending on tier level for Poly and Riv.

Thank you for posting! Looks like I am safe this round

PVB is worse for everything except 250 points. Not deep enough for me to consider SMH.

I'll keep watching the resale aggregators.

Assuming no other big discounts beyond the typical price per point (i.e. Welcome Home returning, some other variation, a flash sale on a resort I haven't found), this round appears very boring.

Agreed! I was hoping we'd see that or even the "free developer points" promo on these charts, but no. I guess DVD is happy enough with Magical Beginnings.

 

[PolyRob]

I am getting "404 - File or directory not found" errors on the Disney Visa and D23 promo charts links... I guess they are no longer being offered

Yeah, that sounds correct. The old Welcome Home URLs I have, along with prior flash sales from older resorts, all have the 404 error. But guides will begin emailing out all of the news in the AM, so if there are any additional sales, we'll hear very soon. I am on the West Coast so I'll leave it to the Eastern and Central time folks to discuss all morning.

It would make sense for them to try a Welcome Home promotion since WDW books are very clearly looking weak this summer. They could probably get a lot of DVC diehards to visit for a few days with a Welcome Home that required a July/August stay… especially if the discount was enough to cover much of the cost of an extra trip.

On the other hand, maybe they are hoping to make as many maximum margin sales as possible before the economy crumbles?

I was seriously just looking at the charts side by side. I could have purchased 500 points in 2023 so same life of contract left for 20k less AND $22 per point MB so another 11k off. WOW

 

[Girlstar30]

I think they're messing with us for reals, fire sale July incoming

I imagine they are going with the latter...unless they have changed the URLs for the Welcome Home discount (entirely possible!), as the old ones aren't working.

My birthday is in the summer, so a huge sale in July would be fantastic!

Ok just to gauge expectations, SSR is the cheapest one on there with a little incentive, does this mean they are going to start ROFRing SSR to offer this to people?

 

[kmcco]

Did anyone notice the financing payments are now 10 year and 15 year on the new incentives ?

 

[PolyRob]

Good catch! That jumped from 5 and 10 years!

 

[Girlstar30]

this is how they're raising prices

 

[VGCgroupie]

Well I am now safe to visit Poly.

 

[supercarrie]

No, good catch! I assume they are anticipating people will or have begun to question the monthly payments fitting into their budgets (which makes sense, given the current economic climate).

 

[Girlstar30]

Well I am now safe to visit Poly.

They're going to come out with the report too after that says they sold the most points since 2nd quarter 2024

 

[Patsaizan]

First thing I saw was financing from 10 to 15 years instead of 5 to 10 years. Incentives are not good. Will extending the financing years get more buyers? I was hoping against hope they will have incentives starting at 50 points.
