The incentives for buying more points wasnt very good this round for vdh, I am hoping that the 200 point incentive is better this round and I think thats possible. I dont think 150 or less will be better and I dont think Poly will be better.
On the whole, definitely not. It does seem like they sometimes make a particular point level (and sometimes just for new members, sometimes just for add-ons) where they make the overall price/point slightly better than the last round. So, I could see, say, a 150-pt add-on at RIV or CFW having a slight better overall cost or, maybe 300 points for a new member getting slightly better from the last round. But, overall, I think most point levels will see an effective increase.
1. You should still qualify for the previous incentives since the deal was originally under the prior incentivesWell I just emailed my guide and she is out of the office until the 11th. I am starting to believe she only works part-time. Really sucks for incentive day because I have questions. Maybe the board can answer some.
I also asked if I were to add 50 more points if the payment can be extended to 90 days. I'll let you guys know the answer. Right now im at 60 days approved. I think with the caveat of it being necessary for me to buy more points, they might cave, but who knows.
Anyways some questions:
1. If we add 50 points tomorrow, would we qualify for incentives on 200 points since we signed for 150 already?
2. Would we still qualify for the February 2025 points since we got them on the 150 points and signed before the new incentive period?
Im sure ill find out from the boards what all of the incentives are before my guide gets back to meBut if someone can post all the additional incentives (D23, Castaway, etc.) Id really appreciate it!
She wrote back even tho shes out of the office already
Well, I've never done a virtual one, but I think it is simple as having a conversation with a guide and them formally providing you pricing information. Whenever they do that, by law, you have 7 days to act on that pricing information. So, even if you're crossing an incentive period expiration, you can still take advantage of the prior period incentives until day 7 after your "tour" whether that was in-person or virtual.
That’s definitely an interesting decision…I ended up calling in and talking to Bill since he is highly recommended on the boards and he did confirm that it is not a hard sales tactic
Anytime you speak to a guide now during an incentive period you have a 7 day window to purchase or you become ineligible for incentives until the next cycle. That is very disappointing to me-back in December I called in just to ask a few basic questions with no intention to purchase soon in mind, yet my 7 days started then and now I cannot complete another tour today to lock in todays prices. The only option is to actually agree to and draw up a contract to secure this cycles pricing.
He did also confirm that there will be changes for tomorrow and the current links will not update like they did in the past.
I wanted to let everyone on here know asap-it seems like getting pricing may be more difficult without reaching out and that in turn starts your 7 days........
I'm confused. If you draw up a contract today it does guarantee the pricing that ends today on 2/9/26? Are you saying it is just locking in the $235 price but you are no longer eligible for the incentives?
Hmmm. This would explain why my guide sent me my CCV pricing in a new format that was an attachment to an e-mail. She had remarked how they had a new format that was different from the past.
Or for some, the complete opposite and go with resale or even worse and just walk away all together.
Yes high pressure is a huge turnoff and red flag to me and im sorry but it sounds dumb for the guides to say buy now or you cant buy, I certainly would not believe that or think they lost their minds to lose sales because of a dumb rule new lol
