New member Webcast

[Tarheel girl 1975]

Anyone know what the cash off points incentive is for new members since they wouldn't actually tell you in the webcast? The cruise incentives were nothing new.

Excellent question. Could a sales presentation be more convoluted?

So, I am holding contracts for AKV = 100 points at $15 off per point. That sounds like the best deal. I guess I will sign and send. Thanks for posting this!!!

That must be resale? Just assuming since this thread is for potential new members and newbies can't buy less than 160 right now through Disney.

I AM a newbie. You could buy 100 points last month with $15 off per point. I put the deposit down on 2/28 and held the contract (per my guide's advise) until the March incentive came out and then until the webcast incentives came out today. I wanted a small contract to get my feet wet so I am glad I was able to get 100 points to start through Disney (and 2009 UY points so in essence, 200 available immediately for this year). If all goes well, I'll add on down the road.

With the points available right away (I already have BCV booked for August), the extra 100 banked from 2009, lower closing costs, and no waiting or fear of ROFR, at $97 per point at AKV directly from Disney, I am thinking I did as well if not better than resale.

It sounds like you got the best deal then. Welcome home!

Please note BLT base price is 120.00 not 112.00

Good catch, You are correct. the $112 I quoted was verbatim from the guide I spoke with who generalized the 'overall' deal. I should have copied from the pdf's instead of what she spoke.

This is just one example of why it's so important to read all the terms.

That's why I was really disappointed in this offer. I knew there was a much better one a while ago. Unfortunately we're not quite in a place to buy into DVC yet, but resale is looking better all the time.

Unless they're offering great discounts, developers points and secret passage through the parks you really can't beat resale.

I bought from Disney because at the time I needed to finance, they offered those developer points, discounts, no dues for almost a year and I drank the lemonade. mmm.

I want to do an add-on and would love to do it through Disney again, but common sense tells me to wait and pay cash on a resale.

We closed on our 1st DVC contract in Feb and did the same thing as you --- 100 pts at SSR with the $12 credit they were offering back in January.
