ROFR Thread April to June 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[Nutbean]

Sorry if I wasnt clear. This was on a VGF contract a couple of months ago with Fidelity.

I put an offer in and they accepted. I received the agreement later that day. In this case, I called the agent directly to give my offer.

I also put an online offer for this previous contract. This is why the agent called me back and said their was a mistake in the system. I then had to ask the awkward question if he knew I was the buyer since he didn't realize it was me. He laughed it off and said everything was good and it was his mistake. He needed to call all the people that put offers on the contract and didn't realize it was me.

So I doubt it was a mistake since no Sept VGF contract has been posted. But Fidelity can be great if you can find a deal and be the first one to put an offer in.

Yes, I understood what you meant. I was just commenting my experience with them.

When did you call to have Disney load your points? My broker told me that they don’t like people calling to do this anymore. Did you receive your membership and activation number via email?

Yes via email. I called the very next day. I received the membership number at 10.03am and activation code at 1.22pm. I was on hold for about 35 min. Another 15 min for them to load my points. Additional 20 min for them to help booked Poly on 6/25 - 6/27 and 2 BR at SSR on A week before Xmas for our 3 days vacation. My broker said the same thing, but who care I tried, received my points and ready for my 1st vacation in 2 weeks. Btw I didn’t see any availability for both date, but the CM worked his magic and I was a happy camper .

PrincessPam1665---$172-$29399-160-BLT-Feb-0/20, 320/21, 160/22, 160/23-seller pay MF 2020- sent 6/11

here we go for the fourth time! In the beginning of the process (March 2021) we fell in love with BayLake, but we were not willing to pay as much as 155pp and all the BLT contract were stripped until 2022. Since, we tried 2 time to get a Boardwalk contract, and then a Copper Creek contract. All three were taken by ROFR. Now that our broker told us that nothing under 155$ would pass for CCV, we go back to our first love BAY LAKE! Let's hope this time it will pass trough!

I've been experiencing some buyer's remorse on my contract for $155/point for CCV only because I'm wondering if I should have taken the chance at $145/point that my friend was willing to sell it to me for, especially since it isn't my ideal UY. Then I see your post and I feel better again. Until Disney takes it from me anyway...just you watch, lol!!!

Boooooo. Turns out it was a mistake, and it was supposed to be Grand Floridian, not Grand Californian. I was all excited to pick this up, and then sell my small Oct UY VGC for a small fortune. ;-)

This happened to me before - also with Fidelity...

I checked their website and they dont have a similar Sept VGF listing. I had a previous experience with Fidelity where if you are the first person to put a full offer in, then they will tell everyone after you that it was an incorrect listing. In my case, I put the full offer in, it was accepted. Then later the agent called me and told me it was a mistake and didnt realize I was the buyer. So my guess is someone got a great deal.

... or maybe it was this situation.

What a steal?! It’s like highway robbery! Where did you find this contract?

 

[benedib99]

Okay - these are the last points I'm adding at GCV.

How long after your closing date did you receive the email with your new membership number? Thanks for the advice. I will be sure to call as soon as I receive it! Can’t wait!

 

[DisneyKim41]

I'm not doubting your experience but that's not always the case. gisele2 had maybe the best deal in history on BLT and they were fine telling me I missed out (yes, this one still hurts so bad ). Maybe they are telling some people the listing isn't correct to save them from the heartache, lol.

I also managed to luckily get through first on a couple of their contracts. I check the other sites every now and then but theirs I check multiple times a day because I have learned over the past year if a contract lists at the price I want, it will most likely be with fidelity.

Me too. We tried offering with another company and were told offers need to be within 1-5 dollars of price. Fidelity was more reasonable.

I hate that $195 admin fee.

 

[DisneyKim41]

I hate that $195 admin fee.

Agreed!

 

[Sunnyore]

I hate that $195 admin fee.

I’ve seen this and not entirely sure what this entails. If Disney exercise their ROFR and takes your contract, you’re still out of $195? Or does that also get refunded back to you?

Exactly at 2 weeks.

You are not responsible for the $195 if your contract is taken by Disney, I know from experience unfortunately.

 

[pangyal]

Updated! I might not get to it quite at 7 days next time as we are off to Disney...FINALLY!!!

 

[AulaniNutz]

I'm so saddened. I really didn't expect this. I know they were taking CCV occasionally, but I was certain this wasn't going to be one of them...

Let's hope this one goes through. Hopefully with banked points and a higher per point price, I'll get this one through...

I forgot had my Vero Beach contract with Disney for ROFR. Sent 5/26 so hopefully I may hear this week about it

 

[Headless Horseman]

SAME: ROFR May 18, no estoppel yet.

Just checked my email, and I passed ROFR on May 10, and I still haven't heard anything regarding estoppel. Looks like I'm going to have to contact them on Monday.
