DVC has never offered any seasonal incentives. They always have been based on what the market needs were at the time. Prior to
Friends and Family (which ended at the beginning of this month), the price was $98 per point with an incentive discount of $8 per point- making the purchase price for new purchases $90. Since F&F ended, that program is still in existance. Purchases by exiting members at SSR are still at $98 per point unless they buy 100 or more where the same $8 incentive will be applied.
Reportedly, the price will rise to $101 in March for new purchases- I would expect some incentive discount, but doubt it will lower the price to the current $90 with incentive (it will likely be $93 per point). The price will remain at $98 for exsiting members until late spring/ealy summer when the $101 price will apply there too.
The F&F program was the first time that much of a discount was offered since the $15 per point at VB years ago.
I would not suggest waiting for a better discount and will be shocked to see the $83.30 price offered at SSR again thru Disney. Resales may be the only way to find better pricing.
In the past, other incentives offered a discount of $10 per point, but you had to forfeit your first year's points (and still pay the maintenance fees on those points). The F&F was unique in that it offered the discount and allowed the use of the current Use Year's points.
Stay tuned!
