The VGF 2 pricing thread

[DisneyMom_3]

Developer credit is what DVC sometimes calls incentives. You don’t need to “give up” 2021 points to get them.

Thanks! That is what I thought, but then I started second guessing myself when I read "Eligible purchasers may exchange their full allotment of Vacation Points from the first Use Year for a cash rebate to be determined by Developer"

With incentives at 300, I'm trying to justify buying more but wanted to make sure I was figuring everything correctly.

VGF is unavailable for new owners until 3/31.

He was talking about RIV.

Yeah, don't do that exchange. You can rent them for 50% more than that.

That is in addition to. Listen to @rubybutt though and just say no to that.

Speculation on incentives for those of us who aren’t members yet…

Are the above opening incentives for RIV generally how they handle the difference between members and new buyers? It looks as if the higher you go, the less the difference is. I’m specifically thinking of 300 points and wondering if $26-$24 pp is where the incentive for new buyers will land.

Or maybe new buyer incentives will match the lower incentives that start on 3/31?

Grand Floridian Add-On Discounts Effective March 31

I guess my guide hinted well! These are better than I thought! I can’t wait until I get the call!

 

[tidefan]

I think we will pass on these. We have enough points and quite honestly, perhaps more than we need (though I wouldn't mind just a few more at BLT)

I do think these will sell fairly quickly, however. Good luck to all of you tomorrow!

I wouldn’t!
But, I wanted to make sure that I could have both - the incentives and the option to rent out a few points if needed to make up the difference. I had said my max was $50k, so trying to justify the extra $4-5k.

You mean you are not going to check the website after midnight like me??

Just kidding. I won’t be doing that!!

So glad we stayed up for this!

There is no way DVC prices it under $255, this is a flagship. Past history be damned, there is a new CEO…

 

[Helvetica]

I am really temped to buy a small 50 point add-on contract. With my 200 at Riviera, it would put me at 250 points total with contracts at two of my favorite resorts.

I was originally going to buy 250 points at Riviera, but I settled with 200 when they did the resale restrictions.

...I may have already sent in a request. I guess we'll see what they tell me tomorrow. I have so many questions.

I actually did go to bed at 10:45 but popped awake! Now I am glad I did.

Let the “I told you so“ begin! On a side note, this bodes really well for DLT pricing. So excited!!

 

[davidl81]

VGF resale has to take a hit unless there is some funny business with these contracts.

People could right now buy 300 points split and just sell off the 150 point contract for a profit at today's prices. No way that holds.

Anyone buying VGF resale over the past few months was not making a great decision unless they got a great deal IMO. There was always at least a 50% chance VGF would be priced on par with RIV.

I think k it does! I wonder if DVD realized that the current market just can’t bear more right now!

Now we get to see it "totally destabilize the resale market"...

DLT pricing will fall in line with current WDW active prices at the time. They will let the point chart do the heavy lifting over there.

This is unfair especially in hindsight. There was no way to know what Disney was going to do. Speculation has been all over the place.

I’ve always felt that if RIV was selling 120k points a month VGF would be priced higher. But with RIV barely selling 70k the market was telling DVC that pricing was already too high.
