DVC has announced that the current promotional offers will end on February 18, 2008. Additionally, they have also lowered the purchase threshold which permits new members to obtain some bonus points!
For the past several months, DVC has been running a promotion whereby new owners purchasing a minimum of 225 points at either the Animal Kingdom Villas or Saratoga Springs would receive a cash discount as well as a set of Developer's Points. The only catch was that the new member must provide the name of a current DVC member as a referral at the time of purchase.
Complete details of this offer can be found here.
Today DVC tweaked the offer, lowering the purchase threshold for obtaining the bonus points. Now new members need purchase only 160 vacation club points in order to receive a set of bonus points. With a purchase of 160 points and a referral from a current DVC member, new owners will receive the cash discount as well as 100 Developer's Points.
The current promotional offers are as follows:
New Member WITHOUT Referral
160 pt minimum purchase
$96 per point net ($104 - $8 incentive) at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas
$94 per point net ($104 - $10 incentive) at Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa
New Member WITH Referral
160 pt minimum purchase
$96 per point net ($104 - $8 incentive) at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas
$94 per point net ($104 - $10 incentive) at Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa
One-time bonus of 100 Developer's Points
This offer is open to any new member looking to purchase directly from DVC. You do not need to have a referral currently on-file in order to qualify for this offer. The name of a referring member must simply be provided at the time of purchase.
Anyone contemplating a DVC purchase who is in need of a referral is welcome to contact me at
This offer is scheduled to end on February 18, 2008. There is no way of knowing what sort of offer may follow, but historically DVC offers its best pricing in the October-to-February timeframe.
