Here is the list of states that allow referrals:
Alabama, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisianna, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missisippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
Bonuses are based upon the number of successful referrals in one calendar year. I believe that the calendar year is based upon the year in which the closing occurs.
1st referral-$200 Disney Dollars
2nd referral-$350 Disney Dollars
3rd referral-$500 Disney Dollars
Several weeks after closing,
DVC will notify the referrer and offer several options for the bonus: receive the funds in cash (Disney Dollars), apply to next year's Annual Dues, or apply toward an add-on purchase.
We also received a mailing from DVC earlier this year indicating that for referrals in 2004, they were offering a special framed DVC pin set as an incentive.
Note that in order to be eligible for the referral, the prospective member MUST mention your name during the very first encounter with DVC--be it a tour, phone call, etc. Even if someone took a tour 5 years ago and has since done nothing, chances are DVC still has their name on file somewhere and you will not be eligible for a referral bonus on a purchase made today.
