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

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!

Waiting on a 52 pt AKV as well .. Day 22. Feeling like the ROFR department was on vacay for like a week back there where no one heard anything. I’m telling myself they’re now just a week behind

 

[Beesknees6]

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!

What day are you on?

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

I don’t know if they tweeted it before or simultaneously when they put it on the website because I’m not on Twitter. :/ Sorry.

I passed at 3 weeks once, so it can happen.

I’m only on day 11. But I feel like a lot of passes happen around the 2 week mark.

My last AKV which was only submitted a few weeks before this, passed on day 21 too. It’s not the end of the world but it would be nice to have a small one go through

True.. but this month is an anomaly... seems like more people are passing at the little longer timeframes

Youre right. I won’t start exploring other options until at least day 25

Did you pass?

No. I updated on here about 2 weeks ago that it was taken

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

Thanks, I have been scouring the sites for other contracts. Funny how sitting and waiting makes me want to pick up a larger contract and considering spending a bit more on things.

That is exactly what happened to us. We waited so long and decided that 150 points wasn’t enough. I just emailed the sign documents back for 230 points. I really hope I don’t have another 28 day wait when this one goes to ROFR. This will be our third try.

Oh my gosh same here. I actually won't be that sad if mine gets taken because as I sit here waiting I'm thinking, man I don't want to do this again in a few years - I better buy a bigger contract! Ha.

So wanted to ask you, bc I know you can get a good deal! Do you look at when it was listed as a gage as to “who” to throw a low ball in with? Or is it just about finding any contract that fits what you’re looking for and trying?

I’ll PM you once my kids get off to school shortly.

Owning 2 UY’s with 2 different resorts is fine if you’re an organized person. If not, I wouldn’t recommend it. Regarding direct points, the biggest savings comes in the form of the AP’s. You already have access to that as a FL resident. I would vote “No” on direct points for your situation. Go resale and save your money.

I have a spreadsheet and have a 200 point fully loaded BLT under contract now and looking for another 100-200 point contract at AKV or possibly somewhere else. I am pretty sure, I can use them separately for a while especially BLT (if it passes). In that case, do you think it's really no big deal? I may down the road need to transfer here and there, but my thought is to keep them separate. Do you keep your resorts separate? This would be our FIRST membership.

I've yet to combine points my different UY's. Honestly, I don't think I can unless I get a nice CM because I am always using my 1 transfer per year with other members either in or out. I think if you kept them separate, it would save some headaches and frustration. If you think you might want to combine at 7 months, then I would suggest staying within the same UY.
