Talked to my guide today about current incentives at AKV....if this what you though??

[edk35]

OKAY LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN.....(I WAS TONGUE TIED or maybe I should say finger tied)

....Is this what you thought ????



Okay here is what he said. If you buy 100 pts. your payments don't start til Nov. and maintenance fees next May. You also get UY 08 but you get 100 pts. now to use by mid Aug. next year but only at SSR. He said that you need a 500 dollar down payment, and you get 96 per pt. and you get the 500 gift card back. Monthly payment if you finance is 124 a month.

So is this how the card in the mail read????

That sounds right. I told my DH we added on too soon (in June). Now we would have a lower downpayment and would get a $500 GC. Always a day late and a dollar short!

You know I know what you mean...it is hard because it seems that there is always another good deal coming along. However...I said to him "we are curious if this deal is the best deal or something coming later in Sept." He assured me that the next AKV incentive won't be this good.

So does that mean you get 100 2008 UY points that you could not use until after May 2009, plus 100 points to be used at SSR, and then you would get your 2009 points whenever your use year is next year? Do I make sense?

Okay I think for us with an Oct. UY I am not sure if we could use those points just not at AKV though???? That is a good question. Hmmmmm I know they are AKV points but could I use them for another resort at the 7 month window????

 

[figmentfan0724]

My wonderful DF called me at work today and said he added on 100 points for us at AKL. So Excited!!!

 

[Jules123]

What use year are they selling now?

I have no idea....our guide said that he could get me some SSR points if I wanted like 50 or so and our UY is Oct. and no problem there. He didn't mention today what UY were available.

I thought if you buy an addon at your home resort you get the same UY as your current points.

Oh yeah that is right...so I guess we would get Oct. if we did the AKV deal....but I wonder if we would get the points on Oct. 1st to use later for another resort at the 7 month window????

If it's like our add on then you get the Dev. Pts immediately (nothing to do with your UY) and you have one year to use them.

We just bought on Saturday and the UY was Dec.

(BTW, it was our first purchase and I'm soooo excited to be an offiical member now!)

So what exactly did you get? Did you get 100 SSR points and then will get your 2008 points in December?

We bought 160 points at Kidani Village where we will be founding members. The price was $104pp minus the $8pp incentive. We will receive our points in Dec 08 and will be able to use them after May 2009. (BTW, our guide said that Kidani is considered our home resort and that it is actually separate from Jamba House, meaning we can book 11 monts out for Kidani, but only 7 for Jamba.) Our MF will start in May '09. We received 160 developer points to be used at SSR (or DL or interval) within 1 year and can not be banked. We used our Disney Visa for the $500 down payment, so we got the $500 gift card.

Already planning our Aug '09 trip to SSR with our developer points!

I was offered a similar package - only I was looking at 200 points for same price and $500 Visa gift card which could be used towards downpay. Also we would receive 200 developer points for SSR (same requirements as yours).

I haven't called her back yet to run my credit because I'm afraid I will get turned down and be all excited for nothing But guess nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

I believe your guide gave you incorrect information as far as reservations go. Whether you own at Kidani or Jamba House you can make reservations at 11 months out. It's all considered one unit (AKV) for priority booking.

I thought it was strange when she said that and I even asked her twice - on the phone and when we met in person, and that is what she said both times.

I just sent my paperwork back. I think you are wrong on something here, assuming you got the same deal which everyone lately is reporting.

You only need to pay $500.00 down payment instead of 10%. I bought 234 points. Thats $24,336.00 at $104.00 per point. There was an incentive to lower that to $96/pt. So thats a difference of $1872.00. The way my paperwork read is that I was getting a Visa gift card for $1872.00, and I signed a paper to give permission to DVC to use that for my down payment. So I had to give them another $500.00 for down payment. So effectively, I got $96/pt and only paid $500.00 down.

In ADDITION to that, when my paperwork is closed, I get a $500.00 Visa to use however I want. The $500.00 Visa doesnt have to be used for the down payment.

And by the way, I was freaked out about being turned down also. I was scared to get too excited about it, but no one gets turned down. Its only a question of what interest rate you'll be offered. Either 10% or 14%. If you think about it, Disney doesn't lose anything if you cant make payments, so they wont turn you down.
