Looking FWD to learning the details.

I swear its coming soon!

Can't wait for this update. For now, I have an alert setup for every Aulani listing in my UY and manually look to see if it is subsidized.

 

[darkconz]

They don't always have the dues accurate so also look for any notes on the listing from the broker it will often say if it's subsidized. I open every FEB UY I see. I also tend to look at any that are listed over $100pp

Are sub contracts in Feb UY only or is that your preferred UY?

There are UY that tend to have more subsidized than others and Feb is one. I also happen to need a Feb UY. Feb and March are the ones I see most. December is next that I see most.

 

[Tumnus]

Looking right now there's some of February, March, June and August.

Hm...where are you seeing the June one? I use DVCforless and haven't noticed any with lower dues

Woops sorry, I thought since it wasn't specifically singling out a contract I thought it would've been okay. My mistake!

Including just UY certainly makes it less specific, but knowing it’s an AUL and Subsidized adds to it being alerting enough.

Not to worry!!

I’m not an expert but I believe any UY can potentially be subsidized. But there are many more March, Feb, and Dec. So when hunting for a unicorn and UY doesn’t matter to you then it’s good to just check every Feb, March and Dec listing

It’s all based on what was sold before the situation occurred and they got caught.

Like many resorts, DVD does push a specific UY to new buyers so it’s possible they did that with AUL too and why we see certain UYs popping up more often.

If I could go back in time, I would have DEC AUL-S for the lower priced Feb point chart and a fresh set of points for the Holidays….

But…. March will have to do…

These really don’t pop up too often! I’ve only seen one or two in December (my use year).

I don’t worry as much about the banking deadline as maybe I should…. My ppp buy in is pretty low and I can get the trip insurance for everything else.

It’s amazing all of the contracts that are being cross listed on at least 2 sites…. it really throws off the market….

A lot of them are stripped and so I suppose if the dues are paid there is no cost to waiting besides opportunity cost…. but I have to wonder if the prices could start to plummet as it gets closer to dues time.

I think I read the most common location that people make an offer on an Aulani contract is while staying at Aulani over the summer… so September may be a crazy month…..

I'm so confused as to WHY www.fiedlityrealestate.com took on these cross listings. It makes their site EXTREMELY difficult to manage, especially as these particular (AUL and SSR) listings keep (removed link as it was not the actual website link) frontload them on the website. So every time I go see what's at Fidelity--I have to shift through a couple dozen totally pointless AUL and SSR stripped contracts before I finally find an actual new listing.

From what I can tell its one broker listing on their site and then also listing at Fidelity with no agent attached to it, which leads me to think they made some sort of deal with Fidelity to advertise there.

I have noticed that they are listing high, which as an owner I appreciate.

The interesting thing in all this--this whole process has sorta revealed that Aulani was the big catch in terms of rental income, followed by BWV and SSR, with the SSR points likely being used to capture confirmed locations at desirable resorts. It seems that with posting at multiple brokers, this was the case. I have no problem with people renting their own points, within reason, when needed. But clearly this was a large scale operation that is being dismantled--how in the world was it allowed to exist for this long?

I think you are right even though many others on this forum will disagree until they are blue in the face.

I think Disney has noticed a decline in its own reservations and along side more and more member complaints about commercial renters they finally decided it was worth it to act upon on it. Good for average members and also good for Disneys bottom line too. I also think that it has become more and more of a problem every year, just 4-5 years ago you hardly ever saw anyone renting points anywhere other than the brokers, and even then at the brokers it was much more of an 11 month booking situation not spec rentals. Social media has fueled the problem.

Aulani has been ridiculously easy to rent out when I needed to. The points usually get gobbled up within a day or two.

But, I was by no means gobbling up hotel rooms and standard view studios and listing spec rentals.

My most recent trip was 6/18-25. A hotel room would have been 119 points.

If you charge $21pp that would only be $357 a night for a guest and they would be getting free parking…. a fantastic deal!

At a buy in cost of $11pp, you would make your money back quickly!
