Offer Accepted Thanks for the help,

So first step done offer accepted.
paid a few dollars more per point than I wanted but the contract was the absolute perfect number of oddball points I needed, plus it has some points banked for next year so for next years trip I will have points to bank forward and so on. In the end I was haggling over a few hundred dollars and just owning it makes me happy so I just went with it. In the end I was haggling over about $120! Figured why lose it for that.
now on to ROFR!
I asked a lot of questions here and wanted to say thanks for all the guidance and help to get me here

Congrats! I did that in the spring. Paid more than I wanted because it was indeed the perfect contract and with so many extra points, it worked out well!

I did the same thing....got my perfect contract and wanted so bad to counter the sellers counter offer and realized that I was arguing over $300 for a Poly contract which was EXACTLY what I wanted. So happy you got the right number of points and that you have what you want!

I agree and have done the same. There's a false mental satisfaction of getting a "good deal" that comes with negotiating a lower price PP. In the end it usually amounts to a small savings and is a drop in the bucket over a 50 year contract. The most important thing is getting exactly what you want. That far outweighs the premium in my opinion.

Perfect! If you just want points, then sure, wait for that deal. But $120 for what you want was a great plan for everyone!
