Question about discount!!

[WDWmatty]

I was told that if i were to purchase like say 200 points that i would almost immediatly get 2000 dollars back...this was told to me by someone at disney's port orleans...could someone please tell me what this discount could be...

I suspect they were talking about the magical beginnings plan in which you sell back your first years points for $10 a point and the amount is used as part of your down payment.

The obvious downside is that you lose all of your first years points. It will lower your loan amount and, of course, your monthly payments.

It does not affect your dues, to my knowledge. You will still have to pay dues on the first years points,

We have not officially seen the policy for the new resort SSR. It is possible that you could get a discount without selling back the points by pre-purchasing. This resort will not be opening until next May (maybe earlier) but sales are expected to start this coming Sunday. Keep an eye out for official information.

You would not actually get $2,000 cash handed to you. They would apply the money to your down payment or deduct it from your payment.
