If the incentives had started at 100 points, I might have been tempted, but they don't start till 150 and it's just not enough to be tempting (only $8 off).

My guess is Disney will not be offering incentives below the 150 minimum buy-in for new members on any resorts. Current members will likely go for the smaller point contracts for add-ons, and since we are already “in” they figure we will buy regardless but I don't need a 150pt add-on unless I really want a CABIN and can’t get it by pooling my points at 7 months. And DH is firmly in the “no more points” mode right now…

I think contracts that aren't stripped are probably very attractive to Disney right now especially at CCV. People looking to buy direct and don't want the Riviera restrictions want CCV even at $170 they may have a wait list of buyers.

I’m curious why Disney prefers to buy loaded contracts? I think CCV direct sells for $225 pp with fewer incentives than Riviera. But I agree with you that prospective buyers rather pay more to not have the resale restrictions.

My thinking was a lot direct buyers want to buy and use points now so contracts with points are attractive. I didn't think Disney could reload stripped contracts but if they can, I guess it doesn't make a difference. I also wondered if they are interested in having control over contracts with banked points they can take out of circulation and try to get ahead of more complaints from members that have points they can't use.

I'm pretty new to this so all of that logic could be wrong.

Doesn't hold up much hope of my SSR one for $125pp..........

Mine just passed at $125 today (200 points) so you might be good.

That might be a very tough decision for you - between your husband or the CC Cabins!! The cabins are really nice!!

Found this on a different site. Looks like there's direct incentives for a number of different resorts. Not enough to make it worthwhile over resale in my opinion, but still might impact the calculus for others.

Edit: Whoops... looks like I can't post links to it.

Disney can’t reload stripped contracts, as that would violate the contracts and essentially create more points than can be booked in a year.

Rather Disney is likely interested in loaded contracts because they can either turn around and sell those points to a direct buyer or hold on to those points for breakage bookings.

Except for Aulani if you are buying 300 points or more! This is the most aggressive DVC has been on their incentives for AUL from what I can see.

Can you buy 300 Aulani points and break them into 3 100 point contracts?

Oh no! what happened?

As an existing owner, yes. As a new owner, at least one has to be 150 points.

stay tuned. just about to post the answer

But can they buy one loaded contract and one stripped and Frankenstein their inventory of buybacks together to make it all work out for the current user year?

 

[Drewski77]

Thanks! As a current owner looking at resale this might be a great way to go.

And the direct Aulani points are good at all resorts at the 7 month mark?

I don't actually know if that's possible or not; technically the points belong to the unit they belong to?

Yes! Any DVC resort can be used at any other DVC resort at the 7 month mark, so at 7 months, Aulani points can be used to book any of the resorts (if they are direct; if resale, only the original 14).
