As Disney Vacation Club prepares to adjust its incentive packages, it appears that a price increase is also on the horizon for point purchases at the Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort.

Disney Vacation Club is currently offering additional discounts of $6 or $8 per point to new buyers who have a referral from an existing DVC member.  This incentive program is now slated to end on Tuesday, August 25, 2009.

We currently have no information on the discounts which may follow.  Visit our Pricing & Promotions page for further details on known price reductions.

Disney Vacation Club has again partnered with the Chase Disney Visa to offer a $500 credit to new buyers who acquire 160+ points and current members who add 100+ points.  The offer runs through September 15, 2009.  Details follow.

UPDATE:  Note that this offer ONLY applies to purchases at the Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel.  However, reports indicate that this offer can be combined with the referral incentives which run through August 25, 2009.  Through 8/25, new buyers at the Grand Californian can save up to $24 per point (from the $112 base price) and receive the $500 Disney Visa promotion.

Reminder that many current Disney Vacation Club incentive programs are scheduled to end on Saturday, August 15th.  We've had some conflicting information regarding exactly what ends on 8/15 and what ends on 8/20.  All DVC offers are "subject to change" so we strongly recommend those interested in the current offers contact their salesperson before the close of business on 8/15. 

Once an offer ends, there is no way to get that deal reinstated.  And we have no way of knowing whether subsequent prices will be higher or lower than those available today. 

The Orlando Sentinel has published additional information on Disney Vacation Club's arrangement with Citigroup to provide financing to timeshare customers.
