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

If it's the only broker with a 25 pt BWV listed at $189 right now, they have said the same thing to me about a different contract. I saw an extended OKW on that site weeks ago right after it was listed. She said there was already multiple offers on it already. Over the next couple days the listing didn't come down until 5 days later. Something was definitely shady. If a contract has multiple offers hours after listing, it doesn't come down after 5 days.

When I made the offer, it was listed as pending that day.

can I ask which broker? I went with DVC Resale market and have same submission date so expecting to also hear back today hopefully

I didn't realize you could keep adding small point deeds and accumulate them to reach the benefit requirements. That might be my new guilty pleasure. Of course, I'm still waiting to close on my BRV points, so it will have to wait until 2022.

This does allow you to "phase" yourself into blue card status, but at the expense of repeated closing costs for multiple small contracts vs. one larger contract.

Longest 3 weeks of my life! This should be a glimmer of hope for anyone out there because this really shouldn't have stood a chance against the ROFR monster. Just shows that there really is no way to tell what they will take and what they won't.

I have

555 BLT (155 direct)
285 VGF
220 PVB
1285 SSR

Im thinking about getting 205 RIV direct points. To allow me to future proof. Either that or direct SSR ones. What do you think?

I’d buy Riviera direct sooner than SSR direct, for the 11 month booking advantage. Also, seems like you might have enough SSR! But it’s nice to have direct points for future DVC resorts, the annual pass discounts (which personally I don’t think will go away), and the fun of the blue card.
That said, the Riviera is beautiful, but the resale restrictions might be problematic for resale, and some believe it’s level of theming isn’t Disney enough. So before you go ahead, make sure you do your research!

Thats a great contract and price. Congratulations !!

I'm not surprised but I am quite gutted.

We don't know the patterns but I'm going to go for a 3rd attempt. I can only make sure I'm maybe over $115 PP and there are 2021 points to increase my chances.

So sorry for you. It seemed a reasonable price back then! We are still waiting on a loaded AKV contact at $108 sent 3/9. (We paid the asking price) We will see if paying the 2021 dues has an impact. Will update when we know. Our other partially loaded contract passed at $114.

What a bummer! I’m so sorry. Is the math right on that string-it comes out to about $101 a point for me.

So sorry! I know how it feels. My 3rd attempt passed though, so you’ve got the right attitude. Good luck!

Don't know how y'all wait out the 30-45 days w/o losing your minds. I still have my last contract waiting to be sent so the clock hasn't even started.

Oh no, so sorry about that - I've been keeping everything crossed for you

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO ITS HAPPENING!

Congrats! Still have my eye out for Poly and seeing passes in the $140s makes the $160+ listings even more ridiculous in my view. Although, IMO Poly is a little undervalued IF I WAS A SELLER.

Was seller paying closing costs too?

thank you. I really don’t know what to do now tbh.

prices have gone up so not sure whether to get a smaller 160 contract with 2021/2022 points and go august 2022 and then pick up a 2nd contract later. Issue here is with a dec use year, I run the risk of not having enough points for that trip

or

Go for a bigger 300 point contract which is what we want long term and just pay a bigger closing cost. There’s a lovely one I would jump at on resale market with some points for this year and full 300 next year but because the seller can’t close until Christmas, I’m going to miss the 11 month booking window by quite a bit and I don’t want to risk a 7 month point at AKL

Would it help if I told you that 1BR at AKV are still open for August this year, I think they take a while to fill up
