Buying Aulani

True. In our case, we got $18/pp for our DVC points to swap for a DCL cruise.

DVCRS is great to work with for DCL swaps.

Yup. They are both currently the same I believe. 18 for home resort priority and 16 for distressed points, OKW and SSR.

I actually personally elected for less since I was mostly into the 7 month booking window anyways and didn’t want to be stuck with them. The reservation request was actually for Saratoga.
 
My Intl seller AUL-S just popped up in the DVC Site. There is something about seeing that we have 950 AUL points…. it makes me want to spend the whole month of Feb there…. and then my wife brings up that her parents wouldn’t mind going back with us again if we can get on the new Hawaiian Airlines Boeing Dreamliner planes that have pods in first class…..the year after my Mom and Aunt are going to travel with us…. 🤣 I guess we’ll stick to Grand Villas because it seems we will always have a guest or two who wants to join the party!

Is there a waiting list to join the party that your DISboard friends can join? Asking for a friend…. 🤣
 

Alright, which of you Aulani buyers has the war chest to buy a large loaded AUL-S contract?
I think those large point contracts can be kind of a trap. They look like good buys because they have to be so heavily discounted to sell. But the buyer might have to discount them even further down the line and sell at a loss if they ever decide to sell, because they’re so difficult to unload. And you can’t ever retain points if you have just one enormous contract, but want to cut back your DVC holdings and not get rid of them entirely.
 
I would love to have 710 points with double points for this year :D
I've been looking for a September contract, kind of casually, but that is waaaaaay too many points for me to digest. I bought 485 CCV/SSR earlier this year and am realizing that is actually a whole lot given that I am using mostly studios. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to sell.

Yes..will be interesting. My bet would be sometime in 2025. I actually think buying a contract that huge is a bit of a newbie mistake. Maybe it’s a misperception on my part, but it seems like many of those large contract buyers are first time DVC owners who don’t consider any sort of an exit strategy.

I have a couple 200 point CCV contracts in my holdings, with no current plans to sell, but even at that level of points I don’t think they’d get snapped up instantaneously.

That 1000 point stripped and unsubsidized contract that was purchased earlier in the year…. 😰
