gotten into predicaments with bookings

Sure. Don't count chickens etc. etc. There is no hurry to e.g. reallocate points. That can happen anytime before 30 days/banking deadlines. At the same time, one's emotional bandwidth can be spent worrying about other things.

Wasn’t trying to be negative on sellers mentioning things that likely will not happen @Girlstar30 has gotten into predicaments with bookings so I really think it’s best for her to wait until all is said and done.

Yes and there have been reports of contracts being loaded... without the advertised points! Sure most companies have a clause that you get X per point (unless you change title companies with the board sponsor), but money does not equal points you need for a reservation.

And that's a bummer, but still probably not the end of the world. I am not buying points for a single trip. I am buying points because I want to regularly visit WDW more often, for longer trips, and/or in nicer/larger/better located accommodations.

That’s why we bought but could see wanting to get a loaded contract for an upcoming trip if I’m buying anyway. But to your point, not the end of the world. Bigger things to worry about.

Not entirely sure you'd be told to get lost. It seems that plenty of people who aren't staying at any of the resorts are able to spend the day at some of the pools. They just wait for someone to enter/exit the gate and go on through.

Wouldn’t that impact the value proposition? If I’m offering on a loaded BLT and find out half the points of next UY are missing, I am no longer willing to spend the same $pp. If it was a fairy tale deal to begin with, then maybe I’d reconsider.

Sure. But if the contract specifies the remedy for missing points, and you think that remedy is fair, then you are made whole.

Same with a 2042 resort... if your contract ends up being stripped you lose three UYs when only 15/16 total remaining exist!
