The VGF 2 pricing thread

[Wedgeout]

Just a thought. Didn’t Aulani recently offer a rebate for first year point allotment? Couldn’t they initially offer the new VGF points to owners for every UY match, but starting with just 2022 UY points, reducing the purchase price even lower for all?

I think the only UY in question at this point is April UY. The rest should get 2021 points with a summer opening and IMO, I think they will get them as well.

The only UY left out of RIV for 2019 points was Feb and that was a new resort

VGF points already exist so there is no reason not to include all UY. They have points already from the current building and can’t see why the new building would not have all UYs available.

The thing we don’t know yet is which points will be for sale to start. Points deeded to the new building wont be eligible for any bookings until the new rooms open for occupancy.

Points deeded to the current building won’t be restricted in that way.

I’m an April uy. If I don’t get 2021 points while others do I’d expect something back from dvc especially if I buy in March 3

im not going to change my use year nor would it stop me from buying (price is king in my plans) but I’ll be pretty annoyed

Yes, it was the whole $10 a point when you 'rent' back to Disney.

They can't sell you something which they won't give you. So I cant imagine you could buy a timeshare that you were prevented form using.

They will just do what they do now.

Until it actually starts, we speculate on the price and what they might actually try to do with a new sale in the same association instead a whole new one lol.

In the past, when a UY was left out, there was no concession for it. The big difference was a new resort and when it opened.

For example, IIRC when BLT opened, June UY was the first UY to get points…2009. Anyone buying with Feb to April UY started with 2010 points because nothing could be used until August.

VGF does already exist so technically, they can offer anything but could treat it like they do now. If you try to buy and the don’t have the points, they won’t sell you.

Until sales start, we really just don’t know because I can’t remember how it worked with SSR and the treehouses, or if they have a completely different plan.

March 3rd will be the day to find it all out!

I may be both grumpy and happy March 3

happy if the price is right, grumpy if I don’t get my 2021 points.

Hoping for only good vibes March 3

all of that said given vgf already has an association, those who buy early should get 2021 points. Perhaps that will be one of the special Offers by buying close to March 3

SSR went back on sale in January (of 2009) so it’s a bit of a moot point; all UY would have started with 2008 points initially.

Like I said, I think all will get them…except of course, Feb and March which will already be in the 2022 UY!

They could offer developer points as an incentive and have done that before but it’s applied to all buying based on point totals!

So, they didn’t leave out any UYs like they did for BLT and RIV? That leads to them not doing it for VGF either.

Also spoke to my guide and she did lead me to believe they will have some good deals March 3. She did also mention the great deal at BLT, if that's your cup of tea. Of course that expires March 2!

Of course you know the usual trick there if you're sitting on the fence... you can buy in toward the end of that promotion and have 10 days to change your mind (while you see what the VGF promotions are the next day .

My guide did this when I was on the fence. She made me a quote that was good for 10 days just in case.

I have a March UY, and didn’t anticipate I’d get any 2021 points. But you think otherwise?

You’d have to buy no later than February 28 to get March 2021 points. March 1 and later is in the 2022 UY.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Feb and March would not get them because those UY's will already have started the 2022 UY. I meant all the UY's that are still in their 2021 UYs...so April to December. When RIV went on sale in April 2019, those with a Feb UY did not get 2019 points. Their first set was Feb 2020, because the resort was not opening until December 2019.

Yeah, that’s what I feared. Not a deal breaker.

Does anyone think we will know the price before March 3rd? (via Announcement or Leaked) I would like to be ready to buy as soon as it goes on sale, but the price will determine how many points I purchase. I feel like I need a little time to crunch numbers.

You should have time to crunch numbers. They have a lot of points to sell and the initial discount will likely last for more than just a week or two. There is no rush despite the excitement that comes from reading this board produces.

No one knows, I would figure on Riviera pricing.

My guide said the price will not be announced before sales start so offically, we won’t know until March 3rd.

I did my number crunching using a few different situations since the max we will go is 125.

So, close to $200, will do anywhere 80 to 125. In the $220s, then it’s 50. At $255, in no rush.

Personally, I think we will be able to purchase what I want because it will be similar to RIV. I will be sad if it is not. At least we are only 10 days away!
