For fun- 🤩 Multi Resort Owners: I CAN'T sell MY blank because blank.

What are the reasons, etc you keep holding on to a particular contract to balance your portfolio? What do you "NEED" it for?

 

[VGCgroupie]

I need them all to beautify my signature line.

Joking Im brand new to this but I will still play. VDH, VGC since CA is hard to book a room at. Aulani subsidized dues, need I say more. CCV have been considering selling but then I would have no 11 month priority in Florida at all.

I have one contract at each of my four resorts, yet I almost always combine my points to book stuff. I've thought about consolidating to 1 resort by selling 3 of my resort contracts and adding contracts at the remaining resort. But I can't sell:

• BLT, VGF - I can't sell either of them because they are my direct (unrestricted) points, and we might get a wild hair to stay at RR or something again. If I sell one or both, I'd have to buy more direct points to compensate, and so why bother.
• SSR - I can't sell this because the whole family stayed there when the kids were little during Christmas and it has sentimental value.
• BRV - I can't sell this because I would just end up spending more money anyway. I would just end up thinking about how I would have even more points if I had just bought another contract and still kept this one. So if I sold it, I'd probably end up buying twice as many points somewhere else.

I have RIV and VGF because they are my favorite places. I keep SSR because I got it so cheap that it works really well for SAP!

I can't sell my AKV (100 points) because it is a grandfathered resale and I LOVE the standard 1BR's at Kidani. I need the 11-month window for those times that I like to try for the value 1BR too.

I can't sell my HHI (50 points) because a trip to HHI is so much more budget-friendly and relaxing than my trips to WDW. I can only go every three years on my points, but it gives me something to look forward to. In addition, this contract was purchased direct when the minimum was only 25 points so I get my blue-card benefits with this contract as well.

I can’t sell my Riviera contract because it is my only direct contract, I love the standard views, and I would take a bath on the resale price!

My other contract is BLT. I could sell that one easily (and may in fact sell it down the road) so no creative answer there!

 

[808blessing]

I can't sell Beach Club because the walk and the vibe. I can't sell Boardwalk because of the point chart. I can't sell Aulani because it's my go-to, back-up and also some are direct. I also borrowed to the hilt so def useful. I can't sell my Grand Cal because I need a place to stay in Cali & those entrances are golden.

This thread title reminds me of The Newlywed Game

My points are broken into many small contracts.

So I could sell one without losing anything specific. But then I'd have fewer points, and I'd be able to go less, and I'd have fewer fun memories. So I hang on!

I'll help. You can't sell BLT because it's adjacent to MK, so with both Riv and BLT you have the trifecta of proximity to DHS, EPCOT, and MK.

 

[Sprinkles&Sprints]

I can’t sell my FW 52 @ CCV…it’s only 161 points to go the week between Christmas and NYE (pre-pt chart adjustment). Even at BWV (my next most point-friendly option), it’s 198 pts for the same week. We love WDW during the holidays but are limited with school schedules so this contract is the keeper!

 

[808blessing]

@PP My app calculated only158 pts at Christmas to NY for a deluxe at Boardwalk this year.7 nights

Yes, the week def varies depending how many days fall into Jan. I’m also assuming it would have to be P/G or BW view vs standard.

 

[808blessing]

Guess you have to sell it now! LOL.
I think it's 181 at CC this year!

I brought this up because I bought some of my later contracts on the condition I would maybe sell when it's time to buy a new used car. I have since saved enough to replace what I need without selling some so I don't HAVE to...at least this decade.

We can’t sell either of our BWV contracts because the IRS doesn’t recognize inflation, so we’d have to pay too much Capital Gains tax on the “profit.”

($62.50 pp purchase price, selling around roughly $100 pp now)

I could assist by purchasing it at $62.50 pp! That said, it is wild the IRS doesn’t recognize inflation. My family sold a house bought in the sixties a few years back. Thankfully the step up basis was recent or there would have been a taxation bloodbath.

That would be an interesting test of DVD‘s ROFR division, but I think I’ll let another BWV owner try it.

 

[808blessing]

I can't sell Boardwalk because ....Boardwalk. Although this is the one that would have to go first. Which is why I am not selling. Hmmm idea for another thread....Which would you dump first!?

 

[BeachClub2014]

I couldn't sell our Beach Club contract because it's an awesome resort with a premium location, and the family loves SAB, especially the cabanas.

 

[zachatak]

Can’t sell my resale-BLT because it’s GRANDFATHERED for a Blue Card.
