Island Tower questions - considering purchase....

[DeeCee735]

Hi,

We will be touring Poly Tower with our guide shortly and I do plan on going over all my questions with her, but since I'm here....

When do Island Tower contracts expire? 2066 or 2075?
Can points purchased for Island Tower direct be used at other resorts or only at there?
Can Disney Rewards Chase Visa card be used with the 0% 6 month financing for a large part of purchase price?
Does the 11 month booking window apply to both the Polynesian Villas and the Island Tower? (I'm guessing yes, as are AKV for both Kidani or Jambo)
Is there anything I need to know before making this decision?

We are thinking of putting our AKV contracts up for sale in the near future to off set the cost of the purchase at Poly Towers.

TIA,

Dee

Poly will expire 2066

You can request to split payments over 90 days, once every 30 days. By doing this you can extend the 0% deal on your Visa card. Yes, 11 month applies to both Poly resorts. At 7 month direct points bought from Disney can be used at all DVC properties.

Just make sure, Poly is the place you want to be before selling one contract for another is my only advice. Consider a fixed week as well if you are not interested in trying other resorts. Good luck!

I just purchased Poly direct last week and they were only willing to do 60 days for payment. YMMV

…

Yes, it can be used for the entire purchase if you like. When I added on at VGF a couple of years ago I ran the entire purchase through my Disney Chase Visa to get the reward dollars. Since I was paying the entire amount immediately I didn’t pay attention to how the 6 month 0% worked.
