SSR = $104
BCV = $106
BWV = $106
VWL = $101
OKW = $101
HHI = $92 - $5 incentive = $87 (Min 50 points)
VB = $92 - $5 incentive = $87 (Min 50 points)

Most resorts are available for less via the resale market.

BLT expires in 2060. AKV and new OKW contracts expire in 2057. SSR contracts expire in 2054. All other resorts (including most OKW resales) expire in 2042.

New contracts:
$8. discount off $112. for GC & BLT
$10. discount off $112. for AKV
$13. discount off $112. for SSR/THV

These "new owner" incentives are good only with an "existing member referral"..

Existing/New members: (same as the previous incentive)
existing members Add on 100 pts: a 3 night cruise for 4 (160 for newbies)
existing members Add on 125 pts: a 4 night cruise for 4 (200 for newbies)
existinf members Add on 200 pts: a 7 night cruise for 4 (270 for newbies)

OR

These "new owner" incentives are good only with an "existing member referral"..

Newbie..
Take an additional $$ off the already discounted price....
160 pts take $6.
200 pts take $8. etc...


Existing member...
Buy 100 pts take an additional $6. off the discounted price.
Buy 125 pts take an additional $8. off the discounted price.

So...buying into BLT as a newbie...there can be a $14. discount off the original $112. price.

[Grumpy]

Here is what my guide just told me about incentives for member add ons. I am assuming it would be the same for new members who have a member referral.

Base price of $112.00:

BLT - 50 - 99 - $5.00 off
BLT - 100 + - $11.00 off

AKV/SSR - 50 - 99 - $13.00 off
AKV/SSR - 100 - 124 - $19.00 off
AKV/SSR - 125 + - $21.00 off

[Grumpy]

$11 off per point BLT for 160 Points
$13 off per point BLT for 200+ Points.

Told directly 4-6 months of inventory left. August 25th all incentives for BLT disappear except $5.00 off $112.00 pp. This Guide was told, no additional incentives for BLT period.

Incentives will continue for AKV and SSR, but this Guide does not recommend those properties as their MFs are higher, so we did not review incentives for those propertie

http://www.dvcnews.com/index.php/news-program-information-93/1363-save-a-little-more-through-the-end-of-september

Written by Tim Krasniewski | September 17, 2010




Disney Vacation Club is running an impromptu end-of-year sale which can save buyers a couple extra dollars per point purchased.

Now through September 30--the end of Disney's 2010 fiscal year--point purchases made through Disney Vacation Club Guides are discounted by an additional $2 per point over the prevailing incentive prices.

Reportedly buyers do need to specifically ask for this offer in order to get the lower pricing.

Check our our Pricing and Promotions page in order to get an idea of current direct sales prices. All of the prices and discounts are subject to change so contact a DVC Guide to get the most recent information. And be sure to ask for that extra $2 off!!!

Disney Vacation Club recently sent out a mailer reminding members that the base price of points at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa is set to increase on November 1, 2010. Included in the mailer is an impressive piece of artwork for the future resort.

Aulani base price is set to increase from $114 per point to $120 per point on November 1st.

[Grumpy]

SSR base price has been raised to $120/pt.
AKV base price is still $120/pt.
BLT base price is $120/pt (rumored to increase to $130 effective Dec 1, 2010).
Aulania base price $114 (going to $120 effective November 1, 2010).

Disney has eliminated incentives for less than 100 points.
100-249 points = $12/pt incentive
250+ = $18/pt incentive.
