    50% Borrowing Rule

    We have been planning a huge trip at the end of next year for a while (preCOVID). We knew we would need to purchase a second contract to do so and are almost prepared to purchase. We have 100 direct points at AKV and will be buying another 100 at AKV so we can bank/use/borrow our way into a GV...

    Your Favorite Grand Villas and Why....

    We own at AKV and will be purchasing a second contract soon. Can AKV owners book the Jambo GV at 11 months, or just 7?

    Less than 3 months before our trip - How can I earn some $$?

    What companies do you do focus groups for? I used to do them pretty often here in the Charlotte area but it has been a long time since I've qualified for any :( Also they won't let you participate too often. Oops. Just saw that you already replied to someone else LOL

    Creative Ways to Pay for Disney Vacation

    Nice! How many hours per day/week/month do you think it takes to earn that $75? Hints? The SB thread is kind of intimidating.

    Buying “sold out” resorts direct vs Copper Creek

    So my guide just called and told me my waitlist came through. I can choose August or September UY at AKV. I'm torn right now. I haven't seen ANY appealing AKV contracts on the resale sites and the percentage they are taking with ROFR seems astounding. But then I just now saw on the ROFR thread...

    I have been scouring the resale sites since my contract was taken, and I am seeing so few AKV contracts period, let alone where I need them. :sad1: It stung a little when I saw "my" contract still on Fidelity's website as "sale pending" :crutches:Ouch.

    This is my dilemma as well. Direct prices are surely not going to decrease, and with all of the new plans for WDW, interest in resale is sure to increase, so I can't see resale pricing decreasing either.

    Souvenirs delivered to resort

    I read a blog post from someone staying at AKL that said their souvenirs were delivered to their resort ROOM. Our family usually stays at POR, and we are quite familiar with souvenir/merchandise delivery to the resort's general store. We have never stayed deluxe before and are soon purchasing...

    What form of payment is accepted for resale properties?

    When I put my deposit down for a resale contract with Fidelity through First American Title Company, I used a Visa to put my deposit down and I was not charged any type of transaction fee. It was taken in ROFR sadly, and they promptly refunded my card. I can't speak for any other companies at...

    ROFR Thread April to June 2018 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

    Thank you so much for this post. It is exactly the kind of thought process I had when justifying (to myself) purchasing direct vs. resale at this time. We always buy memory maker, so that is a definitely plus for me. The AP flexibility is very attractive to me regarding not having to scrutinize...

    Buying “sold out” resorts direct vs Copper Creek

    Definitely going to try this tactic on my next call. After more consideration of CCV, the high MF, and the unappealing (to us) decor of the studios and 1 bedrooms (not to mention the fact that both of those only sleep 4), I am fairly certain my heart is still set on AKV. So I am going to insist...

    Buying “sold out” resorts direct vs Copper Creek

    I hate that both of our contracts got taken and it has pushed us both to consider direct pricing :scared: The guide I spoke with offered me CCV with a Sept UY with 2017 points. Said if I got AKV (what my resale contract was for and what I love), there would be no 2017 points but now I can’t...
