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

It's not a mistake. They got so much interest that sellers raised their price! I called to inquire yesterday since it's likely our AKV will be taken, and it's such a good price and we don't have plans to go anytime soon.

What was your AKV contract?

More than I wanted to spend per point, but it has all the points coming on. We blew through our 200 BLT points in no time at all, so we knew an add-on was coming. I wish I could’ve gotten it for less than $130pp, but no sellers would budge on even the stripped ones for anything under 200 points. I tried for 3 months!

Good luck with one. At least you know you tried to get a decent price.
Enjoy telling the direct peeps you no longer need their points at their outrageous prices.

Just got the email, 30 days starts today. Not optimistic at all

.... and I called earlier to make an offer on some more VGF points and the contract was listed as "sale pending" already.

Just can't help yourself, can you? I'm pretty sure if I wasn't already taking 3 trips this year and deploying next year, I might think I needed more points too

We took a trip in Feb, are going for Thanksgiving, and again in April 2019, *and* I'm thinking about swinging a 25th anniversary weekend in June 2019... so much for the "use-each-contract-in-staggered-alternating-years" plan.

 

[kboo]

Oh, and June 2019 is supposed to be a surprise for DH so please don't tell him.

 

[Katie L]

Not sure that is the case as they have lots of points available for purchase already. One theory people speculate is OTU bonus points with new purchases

What's OTU?

Thought is Disney is about to offer direct with bonus even for "sold out"?

 

[NHLFAN]

I just saw it 20 minutes ago still there! Wow.. I’m sure it generated a lot of interest

I wouldn't put too much value in their listings that show "pending verification" as we had an issue with just that yesterday.

• Placed an offer on a 100pt PVB contract that was showing 100pts 2017 , 100pts 2018 and 100pts 2019 that was "pending verification" .
• Shortly after we placed offer, we received email back stating Disney claimed the sellers had reservations in Dec and the contract was stripped but the sellers agreed to my offer.
• Then a few minutes later received another email stating that the listing was cancelled because the sellers thought they were renting the points out and not selling them.

What?? That's crazy!

I just received word that this one was sent to Disney for ROFR. Apparently, I called with my full-price offer after it had been on the market maybe an hour or so. It was priced well considering all those points. Not a crazy good deal, but it is loaded. They've already banked the 2017 points for me.

So a question.. it’s now been 25 days since my measly 70 point oKW(e) was went to ROFR do you all think I should just move on? I’m so bummed and aggravated at this point! Sorry just venting!

You'll probably get your answer tomorrow or Monday. I don't think it would hurt to look at other contracts at this point. I know it really stinks just waiting around for probable bad news! There is still a remote chance it will pass.

I saw this contract but didn’t pull the trigger but I guess you would have beaten me to it anyway. I just had my offer accepted on another BWV hopefully passes ROFR

Funny thing is I am not on twitter and don’t have their app downloaded. The agent told me it had just been listed and tweeted out within the hour of when I called. He then told me there was another offer in the contract, but it wasn’t full price. I knew it would go for full price because of all of those points, so I went against my cheapness and offered full price. I hope yours passes ROFR. I’ve seen a handful of good BWV deals in the last week or so! I look forward to seeing the details.

So sorry!! I am also waiting on a super small (50 pt) contract and was hoping Disney would take a quick pass bc it’s so small. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Does the broker tweet out listings before they list them on the site?
