ROFR Thread April to June 2018 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

Verbage matters a lot. Under one Membership is what I believe it is - ie, 1 UY. I doubt it has to be under 1 contract though since it refers to accumulate. I remember that thread and thought it was about having the points under 2 UY's - ie, 2 memberships.

Yes, that's probably the confusion here. I wonder if "under one membership" is what the actual issue is. As someone who works in data warehousing and relational databases rather extensively, I can tell you that it'd be extremely complicated (and expensive in terms of computing resources) to correlate multiple memberships like that, because you'd have to link several fields in order for the points to be accumulated in only specific instances vs. just using the primary key which is how it normally works.

Yeah, my first question was about two use years, which I still think I'm correct about but I'll concede that there's at least some grey area. Saying that 75 points that are purchased directly in the same use year, but not at the same time, don't qualify for direct perks is flat out wrong. Again, I hope that MA has changed their stance for folks this could potentially affect. That being said I expect that most people would just decide to consider whether buying 75 direct points at once is worth the perks or not. I wouldn't expect that there are many people that would buy 25 points, then 50 or 25, 25, 25, direct with the expectation/hope of perks. It only came up for me because I didn't want 75 additional points at Aulani or BLT, I wanted to split it up 50 Aulani/25 BLT. (If Disney had just sold me or wait listed me for 75 VGC points direct, I wouldn't have an issue at all, but apparently I don't "qualify" for the wait list for whatever reason. Yet another reason why I decided to just stay 100% resale.)

Anyone else waiting on ROFR and already wanting to buy more points?

Yep

Dan1---$101-$12693-120-AKV-Feb-0/17, 0/18, 120/19, 120/20- sent 4/27

Into 3rd week of waiting in a different UY and over the weekend see one resale for our existing UY for more points than the one above.

 

[DaveNan]

Nah - they just end up like @pangyal which is why this thread only gets updated every 3 weeks now that she has 11.5 months worth of points.

That's why she is my hero for 2 reasons! All the great work on this board so we can be educated buyers and anyone who goes to WDW that often deserves all our admiration (as long as they are behind me in lines).

That's right! She threatened to quit but luckily decided to continue to work for the cause.

Yes! Waiting since April 27. Is it time to give up and look for alternatives??

They’ve been pretty quiet since last week. You haven’t even hit 3 weeks yet. I’d hold off for at least a few more days until I started seriously looking again.

I bought 2 VGF contracts from the same seller last year. It saved me a ton in CC. They only charged me the extra recording fees (maybe $10 extra) because the broker wrote up the deal as one contract with both sets of points listed. I don’t know if this is what made the difference, but I didn’t pay double closing costs.

Who did you buy from and who did you close with if don’t mind me asking. I asked two closing companies this hypothetically and they said no savings

We used DVC Magic Resales as our broker back when Rachel Thompson was working for them. The title company was First Reliable Transfers. It was less than $600 total for closing costs.

I just signed a contract today with the same broker as my other one in ROFR right now, and asked about the closing costs. She said it's two separate contracts; therefore, no savings. But my contracts are not from the same seller.

That's awesome! I'm using them also but they quoted $650 cc each contract. Ouch!

Don’t lose hope. We passed on day 38.

I have a theory that the DVC ROFR department is manned by one person who works one day a week... When we built our house the planning approval was delayed by 8 weeks because the council planning guy went on annual leave from his strenuous one day a week job
