The VGF 2 pricing thread

[BWV Dreamin]

I love how the real-estate industry makes you buy insurance to cover their mistakes???????

I have seen this excersised once by a purchaser. Now I may be wrong on this, but I am pretty sure ( as Tracy Morgan would say) once you use your “title” insurance, you no longer have it to use anymore.

So I know it seems like most people on here are already members but for us poor unfortunate non-members, any idea what the incentives will be when it goes on sale for us on March 31st? And how long incentives will last? I read the DVC news article saying $3 - $5 less than current incentives with expiration of June 1st. What do all you DVC veterans think?

Incentives will only get less and the base price will increase.

Do you have a source for the base price increasing or is this just what has happened historically?

It doesn't make them any richer, if that makes you feel any better. It goes to a third party.

In any real estate transaction, title insurance is suggested. While there may not be a claim where someone else owned the land ( just an example) it will protect you from faulty practices with the purchase ( title company screwed up, wrong title produced, etc).

Eh, it’s probably fine or even better that I just got it like suggested. Heaven forbid I made a stink and they removed it, and then I needed it. Over a couple of hundred dollars on a transaction of over $50,000. I do feel better now, it was just annoying to read so many people saying make sure you remove title insurance and I didn’t do it.

That article refers to add-on incentives for current DVC members who purchase after March 30. Typically, new member prices are not as attractive as the ones for existing members. Also, new members must purchase a minimum of 150 points.

Yeah, I’m planning for the 150 minimum - that’s been in place for a while now.

Didn’t buy for luggage but hope I get it. Guide said this morning I would but could’ve been before all the contracts got loaded

If you received it, it will be in your documents.

I doubt they will increase base price right away, they just increased to $207 and seems like the plan is to price all the currently on sale resorts the same just based on what they just did.

Demand will determine that.

Title insurance or not if the title company screws up I would expect them to make it right at no additional charge to me.

Nice! Still waiting on mine about 23 hours later.

Still waiting on mine over 48 hrs later.

Not sure why mine is taking so much longer but I have several resale contracts so maybe that’s why?

Glad to hear they are still working over the weekend though!

Kind of annoying that we don’t need it but they charge it anyway. I didn’t know anything about it when we bought any of our three contracts, so we paid it three times (two being 2 days ago). I don’t think it was that much in the grand scheme, but still stinks to lay something we didn’t have to.

I discussed it with my guide and he said they just don't recommend it because it is still a real estate transaction...I decided to just pay it.

You might try calling the QA no. your guide gave you - when I called w/ a question while I was signing the documents I learned that they had my son’s email entered incorrectly & thus the documents weren’t delivered to him until after they corrected the email address typo.

I do not see the base price going up until after non members have had a chance to buy, especially since it seems that this has really sparked sales. DVD needed it and I would think they want to capitalize on it for a least a few months, if not more, to make up for the lost ground of the past few years.

What new members won't see is any incentive under 150 like we have as owners, and I would be surprised to see the special gift like luggage brought back for new owners...but then again, who knows!!!

So, I think you will see the new member incentives a bit less than what we current owners got, but still a nice incentive for purchasing.

Just got my docs and signed now. Yippee! 190 points a year and 80 to bank. Losing 2021 points is a big deal because I bought the minimum to get the vacation I want. I’m spreading them out over 10 years.

The documents included a page with the luggage listed. It was in my first set of contracts in the same email. When I had to re-do things, when I added on the second 150 to get to 300, and I got the new contracts today, they sent it as an additional document to be signed. So, it could come in two different emails.

i don’t have a QA number. They took my credit card, verified address phone and email on file and sent it off for processing.

I was told yesterday morning when we re-did things (around 10:00 am ish) I would get them yesterday afternoon, but later...they didn't arrive until sometime this afternoon, so about 30 hours later. At that time, they were backed up by 200 + contracts.

Have to be honest luggage selling out is weird. As an example we just got a mailing today about VGF being offered and it's already sold out.

By the way I laughed at the mailing since the main photo is of the 3BR and not of the new building.
