Okay - so I'm choked. We bought on a whim when we were down there as we have to sign up in Florida (we are from Alberta) - are we out of luck?? Because of this I'm thinking of now cancelling out and not even closing on the deal and seeing what the deals are next time we go. $15 per point is a lot of money....

Based upon your $15 per point comment, I suspect you are looking at a lot of older comments in this thread. The referral discount LAST year was $15 off.
This year it's the standard $8 off at AKV or $10 off at Saratoga Springs (which you should have already received.) The only difference this year is that if you bought at least 225 points AND have the name of a current DVC member to use as a referral, you will get a one-time bonus of 160 additional points.
If you bought at least 225, you might want to get the name of a member to use as a referral and call your Guide to see if the deal can be changed. Even though they are prohibited from selling in your area, they may still be able to amend the deal since technically you began the process while in Florida.
Hope that helps.
We received this exact same offer without a referral from anyone. We received the offer today from the DLR.
This thread is actually funny to read!
Good luck to all you prospective new members!
Good luck to all of you trolling for referals!
Too funny!
Wish I had a smiley with a for sale sign!
