SSR free vacation offer for new member

[DisneyPoly]

Does anyone have info. on this offer? We have been considering purchasing for too many years to count. Well, after making a reservation at the Poly for Thanksgiving (2 rooms = $4,000) the time has come.

Will call CM in the morning, but thought I'd ask here first. E-mail reads "Free vacation when purchasing SSR."

Thanks for the help!

Current price at Saratoga Springs is $95 per point. Purchase incentives are as follows:

1. Pay the base price of $95 per point, with first points coming sometime after March 2005. No dues payments or interest (if financed through DVC) until mid-2005.

In addition, you receive a set of Developer's Points for use at any DVC resort OTHER than SSR between now and 9/30/05. This option is currently being billed as a "free vacation" by DVC. The number of Developer's points received is equal to the number purchased in your SSR contract (buy a 150-pt ownership at SSR, receive a one-time grant of 150 Developer's Points.)

2. Pay a discounted price of $85 per point, with the first points coming sometime after March 2005. No dues payments or interest (if financed through DVC) until mid-2005.

Basically, here is what is happening: DVC's point sales are well ahead of the SSR construction schedule. DVC has no more points to sell at SSR which can be used in 2004. The points they are selling now are for buildings that will begin to open in March '05.

In effect, they are either offering you Developer's Points for use in 2004, or they are giving you a flat $10 discount as compensation for not receiving any 2004 points. Developer's Points are points that DVC has acquired itself.

Hope this helps.
