Good luck with your Poly contract!! I’m only 10 days in on my $140 double loaded AKL contract which clearly is going to get eaten by the ROFR beast….Yeah, I thought it was a pretty safe bet too. It’s OK, though. I switched gears and just made an offer on a small Poly contract instead.

Thank you! Who knows, ROFR works in mysterious ways. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!
I need to do that. I just don’t have any pictures on my phone. It will end up being one of my cats or dogs lol. I’m already an AKV owner, though, so at least I don’t have to change my username lol.
Congratulations!
At the end of the day, you have to be comfortable with the value that the contract offers you. Many would say any price is too high for BWV because of the length of contract remaining in comparison to what you could get at another resort. When we got our contract, we had a limit that we were willing to pay at BWV specifically due to the 2042 exp. But that's just us. Everyone uses DVC differently so be confident that your situation warrants your offer and go with it! I feel like you have a very high chance of getting your contract. And, big picture, unless your contract was like 1000 points, the difference is likely not material spread out over 20 years!
This is so true. When you think about even a 200 point contract, a $10 price difference per point is only $2k spread across the life of a contract (whatever the length). Getting all bent out of shape for that will feel immaterial with a couple of years.
I'd go with SSR as a slight advantage. But you cannot really be certain of either but at least if you pass with SSR you get full points.
I am probably one of those people referred to for getting really good prices and it can take some time for sure. We got 2 out of 8 contracts through ROFR. 1 was a steal($70 Aul in 2021), 1 I felt like I paid a bit high but turned out it wasn't ($160 BLT 2020 points and forward bought in 2022). For me I mostly was OK with the time lost because I found the negotiating and finding the best deals lots of fun. It wasn't time lost, it was time spent doing a thing I enjoy. That was actually the sad part about getting the BLT contract, it means likely we are done buying.
I was slightly concerned but everyone else said they won't take it. Considering someone close to the same time as me had a $80 pp subsidized contract not taken it was very unlikely they would take it. It was the whole reason I went after aulani, they don't take it. I had 5 contracts taken before that 4blt, 1 akv). We are mostly just going to use it at disney world. Used our Aul points last year at bwv and then this year we are scheduled to use them at beachclub. Feel it's good value plus likely in 2024-5 we will use them at Aul for one trip.
or find an international seller!
