In 2007 Disney Vacation Club announced a 15-year contract extension (covering the years 2043 to 2057) for owners at Disney's Old Key West Resort.  The extension was initially priced at $15 per point and is still available today for $25 per point.  

Topic:  If DVC were to offer 15-year contract extensions at your Home resort(s), what would be your tipping point price-wise?

Reminder that two Disney Vacation Club purchase incentives will be ending in just a few short days.

The first is available exclusively to Chase Disney Visa cardholders.  Those who purchase new or add-on contracts using the Disney Visa are eligible to receive a gift card of $500 or more.  This promotion is scheduled to end on September 15, 2008.

A second promotion is currently available to new buyers who offer the name of an existing DVC member as a referral at the time of purchase.  These buyers will also receive a $500 gift card.  A similar incentive is available to existing members who add-on points.  This promotions is slated to end on September 22, 2008.
