The VGF 2 pricing thread

[AGP]

Not really but I am hoping to use them to upgrade a July night with them and then put back all the borrowed points I have for that trip.

The room I want is still there so buying soon helps with that. And, my CC statement date is the 2nd so waiting doesn’t need to happen for that first charge!! Lol

They will let you put back borrowed points if you buy direct?

I would use the word "rumor" in a very loose sense. I can't say confirmed because DVC will never admit to this stuff... Let's just see if there are backpacks around a few months from now. If so... someone can make me a dress out of backpacks and I'll wear it around the parks.

I can also tell you that direct guides have been fighting this decision tooth and nail.

Those are 20k backpacks, that dress would be worth millions.

No. Sandi can modify her existing reservation to use her new VGF points. That would free up points borrowed from other contracts (maybe different home resort), and those borrowed points would go back to the same UY as the reservation, which is normal for borrowed points.

I watched the video and the argument that gfv can’t be less than pre gfv sales price is insane. they all totally fail to understand basic laws of economics and the dlt argument is 100% daft

they all fail to acknowledge this is creating 2,000,000 new unsold points vs a sold out resort

Oh I thought once you borrowed they were stuck in this year- I didn’t realize that if you modify using different points then they would go back to the future year that you borrowed from. I guess I don’t understand how this works!

I’m counting on Sandisw and others on this thread to update the rest of us on March 3rd. Saves me a call to my guide, who is based in Hawaii.

Yes. Normally they can’t be moved back but in this case, they will since I have added on new points. The rules can be found in the Home Resort Rules and Regulations document

No, they will put back my borrowed points to their original UY. I will use my 2021 VGF points to replace the RIV and SSR points I borrowed and those will be returned to my Dec 2022 UY

It is a benefit when you add on and have new points. I confirmed this was still the practice the other day as well.

This is great news! I also have some points in holding that I’d love them to let me use or take out of holding, that’d be even better but happy to at least know I could put some borrowed back

I have never had holding I couldn’t use so I don’t know about that but it’s a nice benefit when getting new points!

I received a survey today and the final question was whether or not I'll be adding on. Made it clear that we may have if there were AP's still available but without there's no chance. If the price ends up being $275+ pp then there's definitely no chance.

 

[BWV Dreamin]

I’ll repeat, my final price is $255/pt. With incentives bringing it down to $224/pt. Two days to go! DVC is not gonna leave money on the table.

 

[bobbiwoz]

I have a March UY, and I wouldn’t pass on buying just because I don’t get last year‘s points. I don’t need them and I don’t want to pay dues on them either.

I have a March UY, and when VGF first went on sale, I didn’t buy as many because we did not get last years points.

Seeing this posted on Facebook for dvc members staying onsite in march. Note this is not mine and I copy pasted from facebook, I have however seen at least two posts today on same topic so seems like this is going out to a few people

Did anyone get the email that can tell me what the asterisks after Resort Studios ** and Click Here say?

 

[SleeplessInTO]

To get a new UY they will make you buy 150 points as it’s a new membership.

I understand Am fully prepared to buy 150 if the math works out. I’m ready for my blue card.

 

[SleeplessInTO]

I’m not terribly fussed about the backpacks. Someone’s selling two of them for $20 CAD each near me.

 

[Her Dotness]

DUH! I'm glad Paul was so gracious. I can never keep The DVC Show and The DIS Unplugged straight.

Oh,well...they got a plug, such as it was, and we got a visit from one of my faves. Thanks, Paul!

 

[DebbieB]

Dues are assessed on a calendar year basis, not on UY. No one who buys VGF direct from DVD will be paying 2021 dues, even if they're still in their 2021 UY when they buy. Everyone who buys VGF will pay 2022 dues, prorated from the date they buy, without regard to UY. Paying dues on "last year's points" is an issue in resale price negotiations only.

For the new rooms, dues should be prorated from the date they open.

I doubt there will be 2021 points because the rooms did not exist as DVC in 2021.

$207 with incentives brining it down to under $200 and maybe even lower than RIV right at first. It’s not like RIV is selling like hotcakes, DVC is not leaving money on the table by pricing it correctly.

This is what I expect as well. If it’s $255 I’ll keep my money thank you very much Disney
