I am freaking out SOS

[Girlstar30]

That is good to know!! A little secret they don't tell everyone.

Sorry to let the cat out of the bag lol

We will be using our new 160 VDH points for our June 2027 trip. Banking all of our 2026 points to combine with the 2027 points. We're also June UY people!

For our summer 2028 trip, we will be using all of our VGC points from 2027/2028 use years. Basically going to alternate every summer between two resorts.

I'm excited but it does suck to only go once a year. I'm jealous of people who get to go often!

Sounds normal lol

Most buyers do not ask to spread payments out like those well versed here on the DIS do.

So, the way the contract is written probably assumes people are closing on the typical 30 days.

But, if they are going to allow more than that, then it definitely needs to be mentioned!!

Yeah the whole mess could have been avoid if they told me we will spread it out, but dont make bookings until you put enough money down to cover stays at rack rate, boom understood!

I picture DVC "behind the scenes" as some mysterious undercover operation. The Quality Assurance girl reinstating my reservations said she will finish my last two because she's going home for the night. They dont allow me to communicate with her directly because she is a behind the scenes person, so the QA cast member who answers phones has been communicating with me and her as a middle man.

Meanwhile I just got an email that my contracts have been finalized, so another one of these mysterious qa people that work well into the night is at it again!

They are more mysterious than the FBI.

The irony of my tagline i made up has just hit me

Well the contract you booked all those stays under no longer exists does it because you changed the number of points, so they had to cancel them. Hopefully you can call when they open and get the bookings restored.

That’s not accurate. You have individual contracts for each DVC holding you have. This is how people can sell some of their DVC points.

Huh? Not understanding. This is not one of those cases. Have to officially own your contract first to sell it. This can of worms was unique (rare situation) and a learning experience for any direct purchaser. @Girlstar30 is taking one for the team for science. (Not voluntarily but bravely).

You have a DVC membership number. This is different to your points contract number.

Each point contract you have has a different number. This is not the same as your membership number. When you buy points you can request to have your points split into different contracts. Easier for selling etc.

I have a total of 5 contracts, I'm very familiar with this.

Wow… I just read all 12 pages of this. On page 1 it was clear to me I didn’t need to read anymore because I was sure it was all going to work itself out fine. But then I couldn’t look away… like slowing down in traffic to watch someone changing a tire on the side of the road. I know it’s gonna work out fine but, just in case, I better hit the brakes and watch them anyway even if everybody behind me is late to work.

That’s what I think happened in this thread.

 

[Wedgeout]

Still some debris left in the road….but not much more to see. It’s all about how the insurance claims are going now.

I think she's up to XXXX.53, XXXX.54, XXXX.55, etc. with all the rewritten contracts.

I can confidently say that I will never be faced with this situation.

The issue came about because the original contracts (50/50/50 points) needed to be null and voided when the buyer decided to go with 200pts under the new incentives instead (75/75/50 points). No contracts have closed at this point.

DVC needed to cancel the original contracts, but there were already reservations made on them. Apparently they couldn’t just transfer them over into the new contracts, presumably because they couldn’t open the new contracts before voiding the originals. The reservations needed to get attached to something with valid access to inventory… then they could close the originals, create the new ones, and then transfer the pending reservations over on to them.

Eta- one reservation had already been used too, probably making it even a bit more tricky for the late night mice to work on
