NEW Rejected Offers Thread

I've since decided to take a step back and let this next year of Disney trips play out (5 planned!) before we re-assess our points.

It may not be consensus here with our merry bad on enablers, but I think this is a great idea.

Addonitis tends to strike fast and hard (I went from 0-500 inside a year), and early on I made choices that, while not catastrophic, have created headaches through the years (like buying VGF in 2 different use years, and having 4 total UYs!) that I think I would have avoided once I became more familiar with the mechanics of the booking patterns and also how I actually use the points. I waited a year between contract 4 and 5 (which was only 18mo from initial DVC purchase!) and by that point I had a much better sense of what would make sense for my family and held out to get a VGC contract in one of my existing UY!

I couldn’t agree more. I jumped in head first and even though all is very usable, doing things different would have saved me some money and some headaches.
Getting it all worked out just takes more time and understanding how you will be using the points.
I still have VGC in a different UY, but I don’t see that ever really becoming an issue. lol

I think all of them were between 125 and 225. I really almost bought the one at $103. If they had offered to pay closing costs, I probably would have.

Getting $103 for Boardwalk is hard to do and a great deal. It's always nice when you buy something at such a great deal you have a bit of "equity" going in. I dont need more points but I would've bought for $103
