OTUP just increased in price

[Cyberc1978]

So I called today to buy OTUP and they are now $20 plus tax.

Before they were $20 including tax.

That means they are now $22.5

The CM told me this is the first day with new pricing.

Wonder if that means Magical Beginnings will go up to $22 as well.

For sure. It's buy 1 get 1 free.

No I'm talking about them buying back your first years points on a new direct contract.

Oh I mis-read. Does that always corelate? I know it used to be higher.

Knowing Disney I’m sure it won’t

If they can charge you more than they pay, I’m sure they will.

Since it sounds like they're phrasing it as $20+tax, probably not. They can still say they're doing MB for the same price as OTUPs, it's just that they don't have to pay tax when they buy it from you (or, even if they did have to pay tax, it's not the DVC owner's job to collect it).

This is one of those sneaky ways of raising prices while saying you're not really raising prices.

MB price has always aligned with the cost of OTUP.* The history on that:

OTUP was introduced in 2010 for $15pp.

$15pp from 2010 to 2017

$17pp from 2017 to 2019

$19pp from 2019 to 2023

$22pp for much of 2023

$20pp late 2023 to now (2026)

$22.50 starting March 2026

*Ok it looks like when DVC started or restarted MB in late 2021 they offered $10pp which was not a popular option.

In 2023 it was offered at $22pp. I can’t find anything in between, maybe it went on hiatus during that time?

Then I am curious what I will get in MB. I still have yet to make my final payment. But when I purchased it was $20pp. Will it be updated to high rate?

Introduce BOGO OTUP and get those who normally dont buy OTUP hooked... raise price.

It will be whatever it was when you opted to sell your points back.

I certainly hope you are right. Hopefully we'll get some intel to confirm sometime soon.

There was an incentive round in 2021 where only $10pp was offered for buyback of 1st year points AUL & RIV only.
