This is probably going to confuse you even further, sorry.
We bought when we were in WDW last october. We got the discount, and used the ge money financing. We don't own a house either. Disney even paid the closing costs.
We didn't get any sort of extra payment because we were staying onsite, I asked about them taking the cost of the holiday off of the dvc, but they said they don't do that anymore.
We didn't have to pay any deposit upfront, you just decide if you want 5 or 10 years of repayments, you can pay extra amounts at any time, with no early repayment fees. So if you choose 5 years, and can make extra payments to pay it off in one, there are no penalties.
Hope this helps,

Did you buy at OKW whilst you were there? I looked at your signature picture and wondered if so, how did you do that? Do Disney sell the sold out resorts if asked? What was you minimum purchase (I know AKV is now 100 points) and with the finance, how long did it all take to go through? Sorry to ask so many questions, I may think of adding on to my VB contract (which is currently going through ROFR) in a few years and wondered about these issues. Thanks!!
If you bought 100 points at AKV on finance - do you get to choose your use year??? We are in the process of buying Vero Beach - 75 points, with a December use year. It is now at ROFR stage. If it goes through and I would like to add on when we visit in November this year (don't tell hubbie!!) could I choose a December use year to match the VB contract? That way, i would get all of my points together, which would make planning easier??
Oh - and is it secured on your home, if you take out GE finance and do they take on slightly bad credit??? we are not awful with credit, but have had a few late payments, but never on the mortgage.
min points alocation from disney you can buy is 160 points,unless it an add on. if you add on you usaly get the same use year as which you allready have.
As for buying you can take any which are availabe.at SSR most are sold out(due to sell out soon)at AKV you should be able to get any you wanted

Not funny - just happy and rolling with joy that I may be able to afford AKV now they have 100 point contracts!!!
