    How long to give the sellers for a purchase offer?

    Best deal I ever got was when I made an offer and received an acceptance offer 3 months later after I had forgotten I made the offer. I decided to go through with it, very glad we did. Eventually may use the 11 month window one time at Aul, but really the contract is SAP for $70pp for...

    Anyone else drawn to OKW addonitis?

    I am defintely tempted. If we were buying I forced sure would buy direct okw points right now. When we bought our last blt contract we tried to buy okwe resale but they wouldn't budge and I got the lowest buy in price, at that point. We would like to have more okw points for the grand...

    Vacatia? Has anyone used them recently?

    I received an acceptance of my offer a month and a half or 2 months after i made it. It was my $70 a pp aulani contract back in 20-21. Still glad I went through with it. The rest of the procedure went well.

    OKW Special Offer Details

    I did contact a rep to find out if I could get the in person $1000 discount on a 25 pt okw contract. He said the minimum was 150 points to get the discount. Also even though I had a rep in September tell me as a cdn I could get the rental of the first year of points, they said i cannot...

    Making multiple offers

    I bid on whatever fits my desires. I have had 2 times that 2 contracts were accepted and were too good of a price not to take both. Disney took all of them though, so getting too many points wasn't a problem. Offer and cancel if you get multiple accepted that you don't want to keep.

    Disney Gift Cards

    Last year Dec 10-11, was buy $250 of gift cards(except gas, Amazon, shoppers) and get 15k points which equals 6%back, plus credit card points. That would be 9%cash back for me between the shoppers and credit card points.

    Disney Gift Cards

    Was hoping to see the gift card offer shoppers had last year at this time. It hasn't happened either of the last two weeks to match last year's timing. If it doesn't then I will need to buy the 13k in gift cards just with the grocery percentage(3%) on my Visa. It's a lot of points to miss...

    So I guess I am thankful. I didn't get the 50 pt AKL contract. I was told many offered full price. Maybe I should have but it feels wrong not to negotiate and I don't really like small contracts with the cost per point of closing costs. Sorry dear I didn't feed your addonitis.

    Ugh, my wife's addonitis had me keeping an eye out and I put in an offer this morning. Killer is it is on fidelityrealestate.com and they don't answer on the weekend. I expect someone else will pay more than I will but hey I have had about 15 other contracts, I thought the same about, that...

    Potential buyer thinking out loud

    You didn't mention what kind of rooms(or I missed it) you would need. Assuming studios, sounds like a direct GF could make sense for you. I don't follow the mantra of buy where you want to stay. If you are a person who wants to stay at the same resort each time, or you want GCV, it makes...

    Polynesian DVC Balconies

    Watched Tracker tonight and he had a poly 2nd floor room and it had no balcony. Do all DVC studios have balconies or only third floor? We are going there in 2 months and want to make sure we have a balcony.

    Thoughts on AUL with subsidized dues to use at WDW?

    Someone responded to this post 2 years later, so it just popped up for me. The answer is I am still very happy buying these as SAP. Have used them at BLT, CCV, AKL value, bcv and bwv. Haven't used them at AUL yet. Only bad part was the 150 wasn't enough of an add on. Since we have added...

    Pay cash or finance

    Depends on the person and variables. I wouldn't recommend borrowing for it but as an example I considered getting a loan back during covid because the cdn to us$ fx rate was horrible and I knew it would be better in probably a year. I decided against it because of the extra fees, notary etc but...

    Closing Time!

    How do I find deed recording? I think I did it right on the comptroller site but our paperwork and payment was complete on March 6th. Mason reported closing as March 15th, yet I still don't see it. Edit: Maybe i did it wrong, I can't pull up my direct or previous resales on the site either.

    I had the choice of $92 SSR Fully banked or BLT fully banked $130. I really questioned whether I should just go with SSR but BLT with 6 extra years, lower dues and is one of the few resorts we would regularly go to that need 11 month window. So we went with BLT. In the next few months I will...

    I think $15 is low but more importantly there should be a disincentive and penalty for anyone who uses points that they have sold. I would have asked for it to be $25 pp. I suppose we will see. So far its been 5 days and they haven't signed. I never count on a contract being complete until...
