I went to a presentation this morning (not an owner) and was given the same "incentive" plus two annual passes without a referral. I will be down here for another three days so I don't know whether I will take this offer and become a "founding member" or hope that GCV will be available to the general public. It's very tempting!
 
GCV will make it to the general public. The resort is small, but won't seel out in a month. 50 units is alot of points to be sold.

Curious, did you buy your contract in California? The deal you quoted me on was for WDW, in Orlando.

How long do you have to make a decision?

$500 gift card, 2 annual passes and the $8-$10 off is pretty good. Which resort are they offering this deal for you to purchase?

Sorry. I forgot to say that this was at Disneyland. The resorts offered are SSR and AKV and I still have another day and a half to decide.

As for GCV making it to the general public, the rational, Project user side of me almost guarantees that it will. However, if I buy 160 SSR points from Disney, I will still think about it but will stop worrying :) I'm still trying to decide how much that's worth!

I wouldn't consider less than $15 and I wish I had more points to rent out.

Sorry for going off topic here, but where are you guys finding renters willing to rent at $12 to $15 so easily? It can't be the DIS boards, since I rarely see any replies to any post that asks above $11 a point.
 
We get that rent amount there too. When I have points to rent, most of time I do not even post. I will respond to an ad via PM or email, never posting for all to see.

If you post points for rent at $14 pp firm, you will get it. Your responses may be slow, but the ones who do will be serious renters.
 
Most replies are by PM. I have rented a number of times with $14 per point without a problem at AKV. I find that it barely covers my time and hassle of renting plus MFs.

I was just rereading your post. I am amazed at the price of BWV and OKW. I am assuming they mean OKW with the 15 year extension or the number seems completely scewed! Also why is the Boardwalk so low in comparison to the others? Seems strange is all.

BTW, If anyone needs a referral for a new contract, or if you would just like to look at the newest DVC resorts,send me a PM. If you buy from DVC using a referral from a member like me you will save money on your purchase and get a $500 gift card as well.

Yes, OKW is the new 2057 end date. Actually its funny that the extra 15 years is only worth $3 more per point. Also, since the new OKW contract is for 50 years, I am surprised that Disney does offer any discount incentive to new members.

Those prices are out of date. BWV is now the same price as BCV.

BCV = $104 (thru 2042)
BWV = $104 (thru 2042)
VWL = $101 (thru 2042)
OKW = $101 (thru 2057)
 
I haven't looked for a while at the disboards, so I went there today. Just scanning the titles of the posts, points are being listed for between $10-12 per point.

Just given that, I am quite sure I can rent any resort I want for between $9-10/point.

If people are getting $14, there is really a limited market at that rate. The market would be outside of the disboards or renting reservations. That is a very large margin. If that is what people are getting, I'll bet someone is arbitraging that price difference. It wouldn't be hard given how easy it is to transfer points between accounts even given the relatively new rules Disney has implemented to minimize it.
 
My last couple of reservations were on the Disboards. I listed the rental at $12 per point (firm), plus 3.5% to cover Paypal. Not one person who responded disputed the per point price or the paypal fee.

Alot of the lower point rentals you see listed are for points that are expiring soon, maybe in 3 months. There is not much you can get in under 3 months right now. Also, alot of renters don't post at all, just send emails or private messages to people looking for points to rent.

You will really be hard pressed to find 200 or more points for rent, 6 or 7 months out for $9 per point.
 
To get the $14pp rental, it must be at a high demand location and/or week and booked at the 8-11 month window.

Typical $11pp is booked at the 7 month window.

The $10 or lower points are for late minute travel to SSR or OKW as they are points that are about to expire in a month or two.

Transferriung points is limited to ONCE per year and generally command $12pp
