Late Summer/Early Fall Incentives

[bakerr6]

I think we are pulling the trigger on 150 at PIT, but I have a few questions that I was hoping our great community could help answer:

D23 - if we purchase today, is it possible to take advantage of the $500 discount immediately?

I don't think incentives will improve for us due to MB, but can someone explain the delayed closing others have mentioned?

Thank you!

I joined D23 in August and haven’t received my card. I purchased direct points yesterday. I had to send my guide screenshots of the virtual card. Download the D23 app. At the bottom row of the app, choose “membership”. Then choose “membership card”. Take screenshots of both front and back of card. Swipe to switch from the front to back of card. Back will have the pertinent info such as name, member number and expiration.

When you join it states they will send your card in 4-6 weeks, but you get a membership number immediately. I was able to screen shot that page with my membership number and send it to my guide. She applied the discount to the contract.

If you're going to go the D23 route for $500, remember you get a free membership with a Disney+ subscription right now. And, from most recent reports, yes, that discount will available immediately. I don't know if you're an existing DVC member, but if you're not, you can also get $500 from using a referral - can find someone on the referral thread in this forum if you want. But, it is one or the other on those two discounts, so you can't combine them.

Delayed closing - spread out your payments on your contract as long as they will let you (60 days). If incentives improve anytime during that period, they will likely let you reprice it with the new incentives. Although they could legally hold you to the existing incentives after the 10-day rescission period, there are no reports of that happening - my own contract was re-priced in August after my 10-day rescission period but prior to closing.

Thank you all for your help! We are finalizing everything today. I appreciate all of the advice.

We are current dvc members and with the developer credit, we are saving $15 per point. The d23 link through disney plus is not working, so we purchased the annual membership.

I bit on CFW FW39 122points + 28pointer to get to 150point threshold for $35250 ($235pp)…
-$35pp. Developer Credit (includes Welcome Home Week)
-$1500 Disney Visa
-$500 D23 membership
-$2500 Capitol One Biz Spark
-$3000 MB

Final $22500 ($150 pp)

I don't understand how you got this. Can you explain more?

Sorry you experienced this issue with Disney+ D23.

For anyone that doesn't need D23 Gold immediately and still wants to take advantage of it I was also having the same issue last week with the perks.disneyplus.com link. I emailed D23 and they said it was a known issue and they enrolled me from the back end. It took about four days and I got an email welcoming me to my complimentary Gold monthly plan.

We wanted to do the $100 package, but it wouldn't allow us to choose an item. It seems they are having a lot of challenges.

The "$2500 Capital One Biz Spark" is not from Disney. That is a sign up bonus for opening a credit card with Capital One and hitting the spend threshold with the purchase.

Everything else is a current incentive for CFW. "MB" does not come off the initial purchase price. That is Magical Beginnings which is a rebate for selling back the current UY points when purchasing 150+ points at $20 per point.

D23 incentive doesn’t stack with the referral bonus.

D23 membership status can also be found in DisneyWorld (My Disney Experience / MDE) app. Just goto My Profile -> Memberships & Passes.

@PolyRob is right.

The math is what we call “DVC Math”. It is related to what I like to call, “self-deluded math”. Lol

I just got off the phone with my guide. Here's my DVC Math

150 Points at VDH
$35/pt Welcome Home incentive
$500 D23 Discount
$20/pt Magical beginnings

$186 per point DVC math.

I wish they would offer a nice incentive for those of us who pay cash for annual passes! 3-4 Incredipasses each year adds up!

You can purchase a Sorcerer's pass if you qualify through direct. That was one of the reasons we decided to purchase direct.

Maybe the blackout dates don’t work for them

Speaking as someone who purchased a Sorcerers pass but then decided to travel over thanksgiving week…how hard is it to upgrade to an Incredipass? Need to run the numbers between buying a couple more days as tix or just upgrading the pass.
