Yeah that’s what I figured since I did the 30//60/90 payments I would be ok waiting for my guide to return. I just don’t want to miss out on this if I can redo the contract since it will take more $ off the cost.
I started with the base price of $217pp - $22pp for MB = $195pp - even though you still pay the full purchase price and get a rebate check, I'm counting it as part of the initial price per point. Then the summer incentive at 200 points takes off $5170 so $195 x 200 = $39,000 - $5,170 = $33,830 / 200 = $169.15pp. But math was never my strong suit so happy if there's another way of figuring out how these two promotions stack together! Either way, that seems like a really, really good price and I'm still wondering why I shouldn't bite...
Confirmed, not incl closing the value is $171.10 per point. Even adding in closing costs, I still am well under my quick and dirty "lifetime per point" threshold. Although I don't think these aren't as good as the initial opening day incentives, they are still quite good even against the resale market for VGF (especially for someone who doesn't like to negotiate).
I didn't ask because I wasn't ready to make the plunge, but I'll have to beg and plead and see if my guide has any hiding in her office when we go through with it
Also confirmed. We have only been members (resale) since Jan 2022 so I think the last bonus point promo was before my time (or at least I wasn't paying attention to it). I was so excited to get an extra 5 points/year over the lifetime of the contract but I guess an extra discount is okay too!
I believe I was going to pull a trigger at $197 a point for 150 points but then I realize I was poor.
I’m thinking the same thing
Yeah, this is intriguing! I'm June UY, so would I get 2022 points if I purchased tomorrow?
)
We're in the same boat with June...our guide confirmed today that we could get 2022 points and bank them if we sign by tomorrow but wouldn't be able to take advantage of Magical Beginnings because we're within 4 days of the end of the UY. Has anyone been able to get a manager to override this? The math doesn't work for us if we don't get the 22 points bought back.Yeah, this is intriguing! I'm June UY, so would I get 2022 points if I purchased tomorrow?
So it'd be $217 * 145pts = 31,465
less $2500 = 28,965
less magical beginnings (22*150 -> 3300) on 2022 points = 25,665
= $171.10 per point
(I needed to do the math myself to believe it
Then we'd still get 2023 points...hmmm...
lol ok.
That's not an accident.I used to be good at math, but Disney math is another type of math completely.
That would be new membership so I would check to make sure you can get existing member deals
Maybe see if you can bank June 2022 UY points, and "sell back" the 2023 UY points?
Unfortunately we don’t have any 2022 or 2023 June UY points left. If we do buy a new contract, we might swap out some points from the new contract to the old one, so that the old contract can sell better.
No, I meant, if you buy a new contract today using the promo, and you want June UY (instead of getting another UY you might not want) you should get 2022 points also. So then I was asking, can have Disney bank the 2022 points, and sell back the 2023 points? The magical beginnings was working for contracts in their 2023 UY that way. (e.g. if you bought Feb UY, you could sell back 2023 points)
That seems to be a good idea for the other posters above with the same June use year. I’m interested to see if it will work.
The fine print says you can sell the first use year and our guide also commented that it would have to be the 2022 points unless we wait until tomorrow to buy, which defeats the purpose. I'm just curious if there's any wiggle room on this and the 4 days issue.
