Old Key West Incentives

[stevevm]

I received a call from DVC Sales about a promo they are running on OKW through the end of June.

Example

100 Points $10 Off
150 Points $20 Off
200 Points $32.50 OFF
250 Points $32 Off--odd that you buy more and save a little less
300 Points $33.33 Off

 

[The Jackal]

They sent us the same email. That is weird how you save less when you buy 250 point’s compared to 200. Seems someone messed something up.

 

[thanxfornoticin]

Wow, that's interesting. I assume that's for 2057 contracts? What's the actual price they're charging? What does a 150-point contract cost, with a $20 per point discount? I wonder if that means OKW resales will be grabbed up a bit more on ROFR by Disney? Seems like there were a couple months there when all OKW contracts passed through.

It is a 2057 end date. Base price is !205

 

[stevevm]

So base price is $205 and these are the extended contracts through 2057.

So if you buy 200 points, after discount $172.50

You could add the Magical Beginnings in and get $22 a point for your first year points

We enjoy OKW and considered an extended resale contract until the last dues update put the kibosh on that idea.

 

[Moneypenny]

Yeah, it'd be $152.50 per point at 200 points. But those dues, though...

 

[D-Trick]

This was shared on another thread.

 

[Epcot Forever Forever]

Ooh, throwback to 2022 prices!

 

[Nursemanit]

I did not think they were offering magic beginnings on OKW - not that you could not get 16 yourself or more with a confirmed reservation.

It is tempting but VGF is still the better deal IMO just for the lower MF and it’s not like you can’t book OKW at 7 months unless you need the GV

 

[dvc lover 1970]

Not a bad price for OKW. But maybe wait and see what the cabins or new poly tower will be both will have around 15 years more time to them

 

[intamin]

Yeah, it'd be $152.50 per point at 200 points. But those dues, though...

Personally I’d rather just buy VGF for a monorail resort, lower dues and an additional 7 years for 10 dollars more per point or however many it is.

Waiting on ROFR for our first DVC contract, a 100 point OKW resale. Does anyone think Disney will start taking contracts again to fill orders on this incentive? It doesn't seem as compelling as the AKL flash sale, but I always try to remember the Disboard isn't the universe of buyers!

No..,they have no need to do it…

Have confidence it'll pass ROFR.

OKW is the best! Can't beat the point charts, size of the villas and parking just steps away (if you have a car). It's the only resort my family feels truly relaxed.

Always one of our favorites, too - so many fun family memories at OKW. Such a relaxing, peaceful feel. And, of course, the original!

And there are soooooo many OKW resale contracts out there....Most of the brokers are flooded with them.

Yes, they are. And OKW is unique in that a majority of the resale listings appear to be 2042 contracts, but there are also many 2057 contracts. Definitely a buyer's market for OKW, with a shorter-term option or a longer-term option. That's what makes the DVC direct offers interesting.

 

[Yankee626]

Why would you buy OKW at those direct prices when you could probably nab a good contract on resale for under $100 a point ?

I wouldn't!! Only possible reason I can think of is if someone feels the need to get a 'blue card' membership and the benefits that come with it. But if someone purchases for $60-$90 more per point, that's a lot of benefits to make up over the course of the contract. But I guess if someone uses the points for Riviera or other Members exchange trips that aren't available to those with 'white card' membership, maybe it works for them......
