Late Summer/Early Fall Incentives

[VGCgroupie]

Does a second direct contract give you some booking magic from Disney? I.e. I have a waitlist for august that has not hit, could they help me out?

Yes any new direct purchases you qualify for a welcome home stay. The only caveat is you can only use the points for the booking from the newly purchased contract.

I sent a screenshot of my d23 profile page. No questions asked.

I should send them a picture from my D23 app of the membership card failing to load

Quick thought, would you guys recommend splitting 150 points into 2 contracts of 75 or 3 contracts of 50?

Is it your first contract or an add-on? They didn’t let me split my first 150 but they let me split the remaining 100 into a separate contract. But I have heard vastly inconsistent answers from others. That seems to be a theme. If it’s an add on in my opinion 75 is a sweet spot.

It depends if you have 2 or 3 kids. I think 75 may be the sweet spot if you only have 1 or 2 kids. I know as a buyer looking at contracts closing costs to buy a 50 add on resale just add up too much per contract point.

try buying a 15 point contract.

This is good advice closing costs have gotten out of hand on some of the websites. I think 75 is gonna be the new 50.

Keep in mind you also pay an extra document fee of about $250 for each additional contract, so it does add a bit more the further you divide points up. If evening things to hand down to family/friends though, it may still be worth it.

If I wanted a UY and they refused to sell it to me I wouldnt buy.

Disney can do whatever they want including giving you the UY they want, multiple welcome home stays etc.

 

[Girlstar30]

You guys convinced me not even to think about AKL direct, thank you for that

 

[DonkeyHoTay]

Only people who did better under the old incentive and set up a tentative contract should be buying today.

Yes… I had the same idea …

Same for me - $500 discount applied no questions asked. Besides, what if you can’t find your membership card or coupons? They really gonna deny you?

 

[VAMickeyFan]

This is the best price ever on CFW. I know I’m the only crazy one here that’s gonna buy it, but I’m pretty stoked about it.

Do you all think I can just apply to the Disney Visa card tomorrow and immediately be eligible for the additional savings? It’s the Disney premier Visa card right?

I did this 6 weeks ago or so and my guide wouldn’t take it. YMMV

You can apply for the card right away, but it took almost a week to get my card in the mail. I think you likely could get the card information before that if you need it. I set up my preferences on Chase for the card before I got it. I can't remember if it showed up in my Disney account right away, though.

If money was the only criteria we used for vacation decisions we would all be staying at a motel 6 next to a Chuck E Cheese

Buy it , enjoy it - the cabins are a huge part of my Disney memories.

When I used the Disney Visa incentive last year, he just needed proof I had been approved. Honestly I can't even remember if I sent any proof or if he could just tell on their systems. I definitely didn't wait for the physical card to arrive.

I applied for the no annual fee version.

And after you nicely asked them to transfer your sale to a new guide?

 

[dvc lover 1970]

Probably a stupid new person question but what is the difference in Premium, Preferred and Standard? I don’t recall our guide explaining this when we talked a few weeks back.

Is this for poly rooms? It is the view. Std. Is most likely parking lot, preferred is provably pool and premium is foreworks view

If I go for 150 points add-on to my 200 resale RIV, I’m pretty sure I’ll split into 50 point contracts. 50 points resale RIV on the resale market get scooped up within a day and they can command much higher prices. Not saying I plan to sell, but I always have an exit strategy.

50 points X $110 (average resale selling price of higher contracts) = $5500
50 points X $150 (selling price I believe you could get for 50 points) = $7500

Someone wanting to add on to RIV is likely ok with the extra $2k above average. Especially if they already have enough direct points.

For me as the original buyer: $150pp resale is not a huge loss if direct is around ~$187pp.

Question: say I were to buy now for an October use year, would I be able to use magical beginnings immediately, then get my new points drop October 2025?
