Happy Mother's Day! I've been reading all of your posts about VDH for the last few months and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I'm going to dive into the deep end and buy VDH direct. I've been a resale owner since 2020 and honestly thought I would always be resale. But, after reading today about the discounts for current DVC owners and the magical beginnings it is tempting me to make the switch to the "blue card" side of DVC.
Since I'm a newbie to direct DVC, I'm trying to understand all of the other discounts that may be available. I'm looking at buying 150 points at VDH with a June UY. If I am understanding correctly the there is a $20 promotion off of the $230 per point for 150 points.
How does that work with Magical Beginnings? From what I understand that is a $22 rebate that is paid separately by Disney. So, would I pay $31,500 for the contract and then Disney will send me a rebate of $3,300 afterwards? How soon does that rebate come through?
I'm not understanding how Disney gives a rebate on 2022 points if you buy in 2023. Would I still get 2023 points from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024?
Also, are there any other current discounts to know about? I thought I read something about a referral discount and Chase Disney promotions. Are there other discounts currently that I should ask a guide about?
Any advice would greatly be appreciated.
