I’ve been out of the loop for a bit & apparently missed the scoop on the $1,000 savings for having a stay booked when you buy, that you mentioned in your post. I’m planning to buy VDH this month & was hoping you could share the details of that with me. As you know, every penny hurts on these big purchases, so I’d love to save where I can.So, buying direct as a current member who already has a stay on the books ($1000 savings) and would use magical beginnings ($3000 rebate) since this contract has used the first years points would be around $193pp… and Disney closing costs are roughly half of resale ($450 savings).
At a listing of $185pp, is it worth a savings of around $5pp ($750) and the 2-3 month longer closing process to have those points be restricted to just one resort for the next 49 years…
My guess is $185 is the amount the seller needs to get to pay off the loan after seller commissions.
