The VGF 2 pricing thread

[Sandisw]

To be clear - if I buy direct at VGF2 I can reserve at VGF1 & VGF2 at 11 months & at all resorts including Riv at 7 months?
If I sell my VGF2 points my resale buyer is in a better position than a Riv resale buyer - who is limited to Riv @ 7 months - a VGF2 resale buyer can reserve at O14 @ 7 months?

Correct!

I am planning to add 85 points, is there any reason to rush to get this done today? Obviously need to do it while the price is at $207 (so before April 1st presumably), I am seeing a lot of eagerness from people here to add ASAP, am I missing something?

 

[Sandisw]

What do you mean by “only good at 014”? Thanks

Any one who purchases resale is limited to be O14 resorts

So matter where VGF is deeded, new or old, those points when sold are treated the same.

As direct points, owners can use anywhere

More likely to be from date VGF2 opens. Current estimate for that is late June.

Even though those of us with late year UYs won’t have access to the points for most of the year?

 

[VdoesDisney]

So, now that we know their strategy, is it going to be Yacht Club, Coronado or Polynesian next?

My vote goes to YC, I bet it would sell even faster than VGF2.

Now that we know there are no 2021 points, and no incentives under 100, I’d only rush if I wanted to use them for any trips that take place in the 2022 UY

In case it helps others as just of the phone from my guide who said he was calling UK contacts first as we are well into the day. Then east coast.
For UK (contract information may vary for those in USA)
- no finance so no deposit taken;
- contracts done electronically via docusign,
- payment can be made by credit card or wired
- credit card payment can be taken in more than one chunk over a few days
- points will likely be in account by the end of the US working day today even though not yet paid
- Reservations cannot be made for dates before June at the moment as that is the expected opening.
- Dues will be prorated once open.
- Use Year matched - so for me that means Feb use year 2022 points added.
- No restrictions for me as direct member, but if sold then the restriction would be that the points could not be used at Riviera which is the same as the existing VGF1.

Also, “O14” is DVC shorthand for “Original 14”.

So they are prorating dues based on your UY?

You will pay dues based on date of resort opening or start of your 2022 UY points…whichever is later.

For me, I switched to June UY. I’ll pay from resort open. If I had kept Dec UY, I’d pay for just one month.

 

[Bali2012]

They would disclose it but I don’t think they will. I will for sure ask my guide as it won’t matter to me rega4dless.

Ax I mentioned, it would have been in updated documents filed and we would know. By now.

I asked - if sold on then the points could not be used at Riviera by the new owner - told it was the same restriction if someone had sold their VGF1 contract.

Thanks, I have a VGF trip planned in August and want to swap the points to use my new VGF2 points, that should be fine regardless of when I buy this month, right?

 

[Epcot Forever Forever]

WOW I just spoke to a DVC broker that insist they have information from a DVC rep that price will be $250 from 1st April

Given the source (the broker, not you) I’m going to say that’s just a flat out lie.

 

[DVCRad]

I'm waiting on a VGF contract to pass ROFR right now at $185/point..... kinda hoping they take it.

They won’t take it now that GFV is being actively sold again. If the penalty for you breaking the contract is just the deposit, that might be an option for you.

Assuming you have a UY that starts before the August trip and will have the 2022 points

I added on a new UY so I won’t be able to move my Dec UY borrowed points back. But that is okay.

Finding that hard to believe. That would mean one couldn't borrow late use year 2022 VGF points to reserve anything, anywhere, even though other Members with points from other resorts could. Makes more sense to pay from open.

I agree. I'd rather they do YC the right way though, like Copper Creek as I want 1 and 2 bedroom options.

Given the source (the broker, not you) I’m going to say that’s just a flat out lie.

Yeah, I agree. I could see the base price rising for all currently selling resorts. So $210, $215, etc but not $250 just for GFV.

 

[dfan_welcomehomeall_19]

So they are prorating dues based on your UY?

Yes. I THINK (not 100%on this since mine fell after this date) but prorated to opening date (June) if UY falls before or if UY after you pay prorated based on UY

I'm gonna wait to see that, too big of an increase. They still need to sell first to new owners.

 

[Bali2012]

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 nearly put in an offer for resale - it was circa $189 I think but it went quickly. My sister pointed me at this thread and advised I read it before making a call. I decided to wait, as with restrictions and the seemingly never ending trend of price increases and minimum points increase, it felt for me personally the right time to move add direct, as my other contract is resale BWV.
Very glad for this thread!

Got it, thanks so much, you always have all the info we need!
