So a friend of mine just recieved this same e-mail offer the other day as many here have, and was asking my advice on it. After being miffed in good humored 'jealously' ( as i never get these offers..as i visit too often..) i helped him make a decision.
After talking about it, and voicing my views, i started to think- has this type of offer been done before?
He was wary of booking as he was concerned he was either going to be bombarded with time-share pitches, or it was a ploy to entice him to pay off the balance remaining on his trip booking.
I assured him it was neither ( well,...maybe not the sales pitch..lol) but in theory i said it was probably being offered to get folks already booked into the Values OUT to make room for new bookings. In other words, empty those pre-booked rooms by sending out a 'upgrade' offer to entice people to move over to OKW or SS. Thus, Disney could then open up and offer the Values rooms again ( making it more attractive to budget minded Guests these days..)
I am curious as to if these 'upgrade' offers have been 'out there' before. I seem to remember something similar not too long ago...
Any one remember...or can enlighten me?
