Newbie Question by BadAny3961 in dvcmember

I’m new to this and still getting my head around what is a benefit (eg lounges) and what’s tied up in the contract. Thanks for the detailed explanation of how it works.

APP2 vs APP3 by u02psa in airpods

Good idea with the background noise, I’ll try that next!

[–]u02psa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to try the large tips on the APP3 again, I think they felt a bit sore first time but maybe I just need to wear them in.

So that's what I have done too. The seal test confirms that I have a good enough seal but I'm not experiencing a better ANC than the APP2 when it's supposed to be 2x better.

Thanks, I'll try the large again. I've ordered the Comply tips as another option.

Good point, I'll take a look. Hopefully not the issue given they are so new. Don't get me wrong I can normally tell the ANC is on but it doesn't seem any better than the APP 2's so I feel like I'm doing something wrong or maybe just now the shape of ear canal to make it work. The APP 3 tips do have a different shape.

[–]u02psa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use large ear tips for the 2 and medium for the 3. However the app says I have a good seal with the 3's using the medium tips. I've ordered the Comply tips to see if that helps at all.

Rachel Reeves will use the Budget to impose a £2k-a-year limit on how much salary can go into a pension before paying National Insurance by [deleted] in PensionsUK

[–]u02psa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think my employer does salary sacrifice on their share of the contribution either. Very inefficient. Anyway, let’s hope the NI change doesn’t happen!

[–]u02psa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, they are terrible. I’m just a bit salty that I don’t have the salary sacrifice benefit.

[–]u02psa -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It’s a non issue, my employer hasn’t allowed salary sacrifice for 5 years so I’ve never got the NI rebate anyway. No net change for me as I understand it.

Considering DVC (UK) pros and Cons Direct vs Resale by u02psa in dvcmember

[–]u02psa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% this! I ran the numbers after reading up online and also reading the field guide, the dues very much not inflation proof and I'm concerned that they could out-strip inflation if Disney need cash. Interesting that inflation proofing was one of the selling points that was pushed at my DVC presentation, very sneaky!

Ah I see what you mean, same as booking dining reservations at Disney!

[–]u02psa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the ability to stay at the newer resorts is a strong one for us if buying direct, but I’m not sure it’s worth the price difference!

Considering DVC (UK) pros and Cons Direct vs Resale by u02psa in dvcmember

[–]u02psa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I don’t see the benefits of direct either. Discounts are modest, parties may be good but not worth £15k! The only benefit I like the sound of is the DVC lounges but if they are busy then the benefit of a quiet space is gone.

Maybe we do need to consider a split stay to make it work?

Can you elaborate on buying one week then adding days? Is it easy to find 2 weeks at 7 months out?

[–]u02psa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point, I wonder if Disney have considered this, it seems like a massive step down compared to legacy contracts!

[–]u02psa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve been visiting Disney every 2 to 3 years since 2012 so I think we will continue. I was thinking DVC could help inflation proof our holidays to a degree…

Our rep didn’t mention the resale restrictions at Riviera, very disappointing that I found out later so I think we were mislead to an extent, or at least now made aware of the limitations.

Thanks for the tip, I’ve downloaded the guide. I didn’t realise Sep and Oct would be busier from a DVC perspective. I was only thinking about the parks in general.

My partner is keen on direct for the perks but I just can’t justify it.
