Can you sell points directly to Disney?

[SalandJeff]

I'm just wondering if you can sell your points directly back to Disney. And if so, what would be the advantage/disadvantage of doing this?

The have been some reports of Disney buying back contracts directly, but at extremely reduced (below normal resale) prices. It is usually to your advantage, if selling, to use a reseller.

The reports I remember seeing stated that BCV was the only resort Disney was offering to buy back. That makes sense considering that Disney has a waiting list for people who want to add on there.

They were offering around $55/pt which at that time was about $35/pt lower than the going rate for BCV on the resale market. Resale prices have dropped since then but it would still be much better to sell a BCV contract through a resale broker with a 10% commission than to sell it back to Disney for $55/pt.

If you own anything other than BCV it's unlikely Disney would be interested but it doesn't hurt to ask.
