Need a referral for the current promotion?

[#1DisneylandFan]

I was told by my guide just this month that our referral would get Disney dollars... Covereddish should know shortly, because our "deal" closed this week - yay!

Even if it is a Disney gift card, it can be used the same as Disney dollars. If anyone needs a referral for the current deal that ends Feb. 18th, I can give you my guides name and direct phone number. He is a great guide and he has helped many of our friends in the past 8 years that we have been members. PM me and I will get right back to you.

I am willing to give my name to anyone looking to buy out in California. Our guide was excellent and even gave us this wonderful wood box (for a coffee table) with a photo album/scrapbook inside. We loved it. Just PM me for our name and guide referral!

My husband and I did the DVC tour last Monday and tentatively decided to sign on. Our big fed ex package arrived today. We heard nothing from our guide about the above promotion. What is up with that?

The rules say a guide won't tell you about this promotion...you must ask for it.
Sent you a pm..

My DH and I just joined this month through the DLR DVC office. We were told up front about the promotion for passholders and for additional dollars off per point when increasing your initial purchase. We were shown a chart of the point purchase and the discounted price per point. I don't believe they tell you about the referral program, but I mentioned it AFTER we signed and our referral will get a bonus.

I was told via this discussion board that possibly California is a "harder sell." I don't know about that - but definitely ask your guide what you missed out on and he/she should be upfront with you.

I don't know the rules, but we did not go in knowing about any promotion or referral program and we were offered discounted points, developer points, and vouchers for annual passes (because we are currently passholders). Maybe it's that "harder sell" in California, but we asked for nothing...

We are thinking about buying DVC (first time buyers). Our guide asked us at our open house if we knew anyone that was a DVC owner (a couple of times) and we did not at that time. I now have a name of someone that is a DIS member that pm'd me, so when I actually start the process tomorrow, I will tell him we now have a referral name. What is the promotion? He told us the person who referred us would get $200. To get the $96 per point at AKV do you have to buy 160? We were looking at buying only 160 and I thought I read it had to be 225 points. Our guide told us about the incentive where you either got $1200 back or 160 bonus points to be used in one year. Can you get both at the same time? Also, we were really interested in the bonus points. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Current SSR/VAK Incentives:

This has been in effect since October.
New customers who are referred by an existing DVC member, at time of purchase, will receive a one-time grant of 160 Developer's Points with an initial purchase of 225 points or more at the discount rate.

The Developer's Points are virtually identical to standard DVC points with just a few minor differences. Reservations can only be made 7 months from the check-out date using Developer's Points. The points must be used within 12 months of their issuance and they cannot be banked.

The end date of the current promotion is February 18th.

To summarize:

New Member WITHOUT Referral

160 pt minimum purchase
$96 per point net ($104 - $8 incentive) at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas
$94 per point net ($104 - $10 incentive) at Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa

New Member WITH Referral

225 pt minimum purchase (to obtain Developer's Points)
$96 per point net ($104 - $8 incentive) at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas
$94 per point net ($104 - $10 incentive) at Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa
One-time bonus of 160 Developer's Points

You do not need to have a member referral currently on-file in order to qualify for this offer but it always is suggested to have one on file for future purchases to guarantee incentive prices.

The name of a referring member must simply be provided at the time of purchase for this incentive and your guide WON'T tell you about this promotion...YOU MUST tell him/her you want it.

Hope this helps..

PM me or e-mail senecabeach@comcast.net if I can help with any other questions..

My guide told us we (we are talking about 160 point minimum purchase) that we could either take the $8 off incentive or the 160 developer's points. He did not say 100. We did not say anything about a referral because we did not know any at our Open House. Is he wrong? This is different from what you explained to me. It seems to me that if we do 160 points, from what he told me, we are better off without using a referral because then we would only get 100 referral points.

becca-becca...........

At different times during the year, usually the fall, Disney offers a member referral incentive in the past known as "friends & family" promotion. Mentioning a members name/address will usually get the buyer an additional perk for a purchase and a Thank You reward from Disney to the "member".

Due to state regulations, Members who reside in certain states may not be eligible for this reward program.

Now...throughout the (normal) year, an eligible member may refer 5 "newbies" to buy into DVC. If the "newbie" purchases, after closing...the "member" is entitled to get a Disney reward.

There are 5 different reward levels for the "member" : $200,$350,$500,$750,$1,000. Rewards cannot be taken in cash (xxxxxxxxx).
There are 3 reward types: annual dues credit, Disney gift card or toward the purchase of an add on.

If a "newbie" doesn't use a members name, nothing lost to the "newbie" and Disney gets to not share & keep the reward $$.

So...it never hurts and always suggested for a "newbie" to USE a members name and get a fellow DVCer a small/tiny perk and certainly it should be a member willing to share info about DVC and not just looking to be your referral for the $$!!

Hope that helps??

Rewards cannot be taken in cash (so..IMHO..beware of those wanting to "split-referral $").
There are 3 reward types: annual dues credit, Disney gift card or toward the purchase of an add on.

I'm sure anyone offering to split the referral will be able to find a way to make it work. Why make it sound like they might cheat someone?
