Spring Direct Incentives 2/9-4/27

[Brian Noble]

But, the thing is, let's say you're going to be completely done with Disney in 2050 and you've got 2 contracts left. One is SSR that will gone in 4 years and one that is PVB and still has 16 years left of use. Assuming dues don't outpace rack rates, that SSR contract will be worth next to nothing, while that PVB contract may retain some significant value.

On the other hand, for the same purchase price, one gave me the use of 200 points every year, and the other gave me the use of 150.

That doesn't mean SSR is a better buy. But: I want to buy a contract to use, not to sell.

Agree 100%. But what if they truly are just sleep around points? Still not worth the save of 50 per point? I do agree with stay where you love but what if you already have points where you love and just want direct SAPs?

Ps I also hope to be alive in 2050.. just saying, getting my money back for my DVC that hopefully I used for a good many years won’t seem quite as important as saving thousands today

Then you may have a point. And if you need those points to work at any new resort, but only at 7 months.

I'm probably one of the few people who don't believe in true SAP. Personally I feel like I'd either rather own more points at the resort I love to potentially upgrade room categories for when extended family comes when needed for less banking and borrowing at 11 months or get points at a different resort to diversify and get another useful home resort. Of course this is just my personal philosophy. Also as much as we all love more points, more points does mean more dues. Knowing that >70% of the cost of my points over their lifetime is going to come from dues and that the dues are roughly similar between these resorts, the upfront 50 dollars per point savings wouldn't be enough to sway me. It'd at least have to be down to where that OKW firesale was for me to be tempted. And like was said above, if the purpose is purely for points, I should probably be looking more at resale.

Here here, Indeed!!

Or… And How.! lol

You have mentioned many times how you preferred BRV over CCV. You also mentioned that you hated resorts that had internal busses. (If this was a different Melissa I apologize as your avatar keeps changing and I can't remember) While it's certainly possible to book BRV at 7 months with SSR points do you really want to take the chance on not getting it and then "be" stuck at SSR with the bus loop?

The same Melissa, yes. Sorry to keep changing pics, I get bored. Guess I am treating this like Facebook lol.

Just buy it when you're ready. There won't be a cheaper time (for direct). Poly is cheaper this round than the last round which is rare. SSR is limited sale.

I did want to see what other thought about SSR. I guess if it was at the level of OKW firesale it would be a different story.

I didn't get it either. I also didn't get the email about the Member cruise and am pretty annoyed. I emailed member services and they said I had unsubscribed myself (I did not), but when they sent me the link to manage my subscription it showed I was still subscribed to all DVC emails so They had no answer for me as to what has actually happened or how to fix it.

I think i got the member cruise email, maybe the visa one is in junk mail

If I only have re-sale points currently, do I qualify for existing member pricing if we wanted to buy direct or is that another thing that only applies to "full" DVC members?

Because of the extra 1000 off if you have the Disney card?

$8 X 150 bases incentive = $1200
$1000 Visa
$1000 anniverary
$500 D23

Total = $3700 off

Comes out to $650 less than last round at 150 point level.

It just feels good to buy poly at under $200 a point when resale is not much less
