The VGF 2 pricing thread

[Matty B13]

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

Ha ha ha..... you would have to sue the title company to get them to make it right. That is what the insurance is for, to pay for another lawyer to sue the other lawyer who screwed up and get your money back on the property that you really don't own because the first lawyer did a crappy job.

Did you see the 1BR fixed week resale contract? Not certain if it's the week you'd be looking for but there was one yesterday.

I didn't. I will look for it. Thanks for the heads up!

Looks like it’s a 1 bed standard FW 42 with October UY.

I found it. I would have definitely put a bid in, but they stripped it. I don't know who is buying stripped contracts, but it ain't me.

For VGF, you typically can get $20 per point on the DVC rental market. When we bought VGF1 resale, we had enough points for our already-planned vacations. So we rented our VGF1 2020 and 2021 points, while the seller paid the Maintenance Fee for these 2 years. In effect, we dropped the price of what we paid by $40 per point.

Since VGF2 is not yet open, it’s completely understandable why there are no 2021 points. But not having 2021 points does change the financial math.

I guess for us I just wanted VGF points and didn’t want to buy resale, so I was buying as long as the price point didn’t come in at something ridiculous. We hadn’t been counting on the points- had we gotten more we would have probably tried to take another trip (which would have been nice, don’t get me wrong), but when we got our points wasn’t important to us. I wasn’t crunching numbers and doing calculations, I was just waiting to see the price per point. Honestly since we have a December use year after I thought about it it did seem as if we should have gotten points, since it opens with half of our 2021 use year left, but since it’s take it or leave it we took it.

Anyone get their luggage yet?

I think it says something like 12 weeks to arrive.

After reading this I checked my paperwork because I was curious. It says it will be sent 45 days after purchase and could take 30 days to arrive.

I just wanted to follow up on this. I did talk to my guide and he said that I can absolutely qualify for the 300 point incentive level even though each 150 contract would be in a different UY because my DH and I are the same owners of both.

I was NOT expecting that answer and now is time to crunch numbers....again...but I am sure you can all figure out which way I am leaning!!! LOL

Really?!?!! That’s great! I’m wondering if they’d let me combine incentives for RIV & VGF across 2 UY (& I’d even agree to the paying VGF price for the RIV points since they’re currently under different incentives!)

Since incentives are different, I don't think they would allow that. But, doesn't hurt to ask. I wasn't expecting the yes but its making much so much happier to now have more VGF and less SSR!!! LOL

This thread is massive....

I found resale information. Which leads me to believe these are similar to Kidani/Jambo treatment. But just to confirm.

Are the points on these basically the same as Kidani/Jambo? Or will VGF-2 be locked into a separate bucket like BR/CCV?

It’s the same as AKL, as the condo association is the same as VGF1.

Exactly like booking @ AKV - we own Kidani & have always booked Jambo at 11 months - we’ve never stayed at Kidani . Folks who’ve bought VGF2 have reported already using those points to book in VGF1 & my guide told me I could use my VGF1 points on 3/14 to book in VGF2 if I wanted.

I called Thursday at 1:30pm EST so I’m at about 54 hours now. Definitely sounds like something’s wrong. My guide emailed me Friday morning verifying I was in the queue, they had a backlog of 250+ contracts, and qualified for luggage as it was based on entry into queue. So who knows at this point.

Purchased 125 VGF2 on Friday at 1:30pm eastern time. A little concerned that I haven’t seen the e-documents yet but so glad we have this board so I can see that I am not alone waiting. They only charged a $1 on my credit card on Friday (placeholder).. do they actually charge the card when the paper work is ready?

I am still waiting for updated contracts. Put my order in Thur and did 10% deposit and I then I asked them on Friday to remove title insurance which started things over for me unfortunately. They look backed up

My guide told me that first they would charge my cc, and when that happened it would trigger the email with the documents in it.
That’s how it happened for me, no documents and then I got a text that I had a charge in my cc a couple of hours after I talked to him, and when I next checked my email the docuSign emails were there. I do t recall a test charge for mine though.

I also purchased Friday finished the call at 10 am west coast time so 1 pm east coast time. Yesterday/Saturday my edocuments arrived just before noon my time so 3 pm east coast time. I’m still waiting for the charge to show on my credit card account (so I can pay it) although my available credit is down by the amount the charge will be - so I suspect everything is progressing. We finished signing our docs last night & I’m hoping we did that correctly. My new points already show on my member dashboard, so there’s that.
I’m wondering if some take more paperwork - we’re paying cash so no need for any loan documents.

I know others have answered, but even “more the same” than kidani and jambo. There will only be one option when selecting the resort, VGF, then under room types there will be deluxe studios, with 2 views (VGF1) and resort studios with 3 different views (VGF2).

Has anyone heard or have any guesses on when they will announce the actual vgf2 opening date?

The paperwork had a date of mid June- maybe the 17th or 14th? I can’t check right now but I imagine someone else knows exactly. I think it’s a best guess at this point though?

Okay, I think I do remember someone else mentioning 6/17 or so in the contract. I just don’t know it’s not solidified and public yet since booking starts next Monday.

Approximate date is June 19th of this year.
