Mine showed up a day after I purchased. It originally showed up as ND for my resale contract, then changed to Y.That’s great! Does your guide say specifically that after the first payment, your membership will show up as DVC-Y? I’m wondering how long this will take so that we can use the discount and lounge at Disneyland in July.
Could not agree with you more... a couple of thoughts here....I still think resale DVC is plateauing and claiming that prices are rising anywhere other than VGC is questionable at best…but my current thinking is that the giant resale players are going to try to support prices around current levels (either wisely or foolishly) as long as they can rent points fairly easily, in hopes Disney will eventually fire up the ROFR monster again.
So basically, I enthusiastically endorse getting VGF direct around 160/pt!
Yes. I’m June as well and contemplating December and that’s fine.Also intrigued about this pricing!
Unfortunately, the timing is bad since our use year is June... Does anyone know if you can get these existing owner incentives if you are willing to work with a different use year - say December of March?
I believe you are correct. First year dues are prorated, so you are not paying for the whole year.Goodmorning! Calling our guide today
I think we’re ready to become Direct members. We own a smaller BW resale contract. Looking to add on 150 at GFV.
I’m trying to see how the math down to $161pp works.
GFV is $217 per point. Existing member incentives on a 150 point contract:
$32,550 = $217 x 150
-$1,085 Free 5 points credit
$31,485
-$2,500 Existing member incentive
$28,985
-$3,300 Rebate - Sell back 2022 Sept UY points
$25,685
-$1,500 Welcome Home discount for existing members with future booking (we have Dec ‘23 stay)
$24,185/150pts = $161.25 per point
Of course there’s closing costs and first year dues. Hopefully GFV dues stay on the less than average side.
I want to be prepared before reaching out to our guide and make sure I’m understanding correctly.
That math looks correct to me. Closing costs are added on and you should be at your #s.Goodmorning! Calling our guide today

Thank you both. The timing worked well since we were pretty close to buying either Poly or VGF resale.That math looks correct to me. Closing costs are added on and you should be at your #s.
Of course with the MB promo, if you're splitting up your payments (30/60/90) then they don't mail out the rebate check until around 4 weeks after closing (final payment). So you'll have to pay that portion before you get it returned.
Even better. Thanks!Just for accuracy's sake, you're off by $20. $32550 - $1085 = $31465, not $31485. Points are $161.10 per point.
Could not agree with you more... a couple of thoughts here....
1. I hope Disney starts going after these companies that are in essence holding companies for lots of points. That to me seems against the terms of service. My issue is not that they rent out points, my issue is the reservations they hold and prevent others from getting what they would like.
2. If you're looking for VGF, or want a monorail resort guaranteed when you stay at the least, it seems to me VGF direct is the way to go right now. From what I can tell, the board sponsor, right now, doesn't have a single listing priced as attractively as the DVC direct pricing for VGF. If you don't care about location, and you are under 40, and are quite certain you will never sell, Riviera, despite the resale restrictions, is very attractive as well.
3. There are still some sweet spots in the resale system. For example, at the right price, Aulani looks particularly attractive on that front if you imagine you'll go to Hawaii with regularity and/or don't care where you stay, but just want to be on Property. (Don't talk to me about probate... I'll be dead!)
Closing costs on our 150 point contract were $819That math looks correct to me. Closing costs are added on and you should be at your #s.

Yes this is my understanding from talking to my guideIncluding the Welcome Home promo? So the June account can have a planned trip and they will sell you a Dec UY with new account number?

Also - any idea on how long the Magical Beginnings promo will last? Is there advance warning as to when that might end? If it stops, would there honor it if you already had ongoing talks with a guide?
Yes, we currently have June UY as well. Our guide said that it needs approval to get Dec UY points, and it depends on availability which may sell out if not buying soon.
The MB offer does not have an end date and someone else on this board mentioned that their guide said it might change at any time without notice. I don’t know if they will honor the price, hopefully they do.
