Discouraged, contracts come and go

Oh I definitely agree. We already have blue card benefits, having been grandfathered in with one of our two contracts. We’re at a stage now where we would love to be able to use 1-2 bedrooms, requiring more points.

Ideally, another 75 points would be the best financially for us. We have that in cash and wouldn’t need any sort of financing (that is important to us). My wife and I have agreed if a contact we both agree is a solid match, we would go up to 125.

I have signed up for several email alerts from resale sites, at the suggestion of y’all in this thread, so now it’s just the waiting game. If nothing comes along for several months, it just means we can save up more and buy a bigger contract

That’s what happened with my second contract, I wanted around 130 VGF points to match my Dec. use year and at the time VGF contracts were pretty rare. By the time I found ‘my’ contract I’d saved up enough for 160 pt.s

Meanwhile I knew we only needed another 100 points to add on, and while we were in ROFR saw another 160 pt contract (same UY, with full 2018 points) that was bought at a decently lower $pp by another DIS member! Yes it would have cost more still, but I did have a little regret at missing out on such a good deal. They also took less time to close!
