Resale/Banking Points

[theMoreDisneytheBetter]

Hi - I apologize if this is a stupid question but I have a technical question about resale because work is stressful so I am distracting myself by stalking DVC resale contracts.

Let's say I were to put in an offer on a fully loaded Dec UY contract that has banked '20 and current '21 points. It is my understanding that it usually takes about 2-3 months to close. Assuming that it passes ROFR, I would be cutting it really close to bank those '21 points. Is it possible to ask the seller to do that as condition of the sale? When would it happen - i.e. before ROFR or after it passes? Is one more likely to close than the other? I know those '20 points will likely be lost, but I would hate to pay a premium for '21 points that I couldn't use.

Thank you.

Ask seller to bank the points before it goes to ROFR. Put the request in your offer and remind the broker if seller accepts your offer.

You can do that or when we purchased resale, we phoned member services and they banked them for us - a one time deal since we just closed.

Thank you! Good to know there are options. Does either strategy make a difference in terms of getting through ROFR? Or is it just the luck of the draw?

Ask them to do it before hand. I have done it multiple times. This way it was in the contract correctly.
