Buying Aulani

[intamin]

Hmm. I do like CCV and we don’t own there yet

If thats the case then that's what I'd go with. Longer contract length and desirable home resort priority especially for the holidays with a better location. As much as I like SSR, everyone knows you don't need to own there to stay there.

Buying more SSR points to use at AUL. Hubs actually likes SSR for how spread out it is. So more points there won’t hurt.

I can see the case for getting SAP’s if you are going in the lower demand season, but I’d try and negotiate hard to pickup some unsubsidized points at a low price to not chance getting locked out of where you want to stay.

But again…. completely understand the case for SAP at a resort that you already own and enjoy. So it’s not like your stuck with points you won’t use…

If you’re patient and aggressive you should be able to pick up unsubsidized for $90pp before going down the SAP path….

I just closed on a contract for $90 pp for 150 points. It wasn't subsidized. I hope that was a fair price. I offered $26pp less than what they were asking. Regardless, we booked our first trip for two weeks this coming October. We are excited. The airfare from the East Coast was not as exciting, lol.

The subsidy on dues. Is it the same percentage every year?

Looking at the Historical Dues, it looks like it is almost a 25% difference every year. This year regular dues $9.76, subsidized $7.34.

Yeup it’s consistently 25% off as was stated above.

The only one left is the one they raised the price on.

 

[Dobermanns]

Enablers!
But thank you for all the information on the subsidy. I got the one priced at $120. Mar UY will still work for Sept/Oct trip.

I added mine to the ROFR thread, but it was missed being included on the front page. I am sure once I post the passing of ROFR it will be added.
You are the 4th

We collectively have a free week in a Grand Villa….

The only one left is the one they raised the price on.

He raised the prices on all of them and then lowered them and now it says $130 firm for the last one.

So… they are all gone… I’ll bet the remaining AUL Sub sellers are glad those are off the market…. Probably the unsubsidized sellers too…..

The only person whos probably not happy they’re off the market is the seller since he realized afterwards he ripped himself off..

I think they priced it fairly to sell.

 

[lilsonicfan]

I agree seller priced fairly, and also, has had the benefit of selling at essentially the price they paid back in 2010 while being able to use points for 13-14 years.

Yeahhh I mean we say that on here, but I think we all know the seller regrets pricing them for that much anyways given how they responded after the first couple went quickly.
