ROFR Thread April to June 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[dlam32]

I’m about a week into my ROFR wait. Sometimes I look at this list and panic that I offered way too much for my contract ($154 for a fully loaded BWV) and then other times I feel relieved that I didn’t get a ‘deal’ because I feel that would increase the likelihood that Disney will take the contract. I keep going back and forth between the 2 thoughts.

Every great deal that I worked hard to get was for Disney to take . It's a fine line between that great deal that most likely won't pass vs that avg deal that has a great chance for passing!

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 agree. Finding good deals and negotiating can be fun, but for me the waiting, the ROFR process, the monumentally extended timelines to actually get the points, and of course problems with unreliable sellers all kind of eclipse the fun element. That said, the savings are great, though I've bought more direct points recently for what I believe is stronger long term value.

I'm still marveling at that Aulani contract!! Well done my friend! I bought most of my Aulani points about two years ago within a range of $90-$96, so I can't complain. One of these days, you should actually plan a stay at Aulani. Its sensational!

54 days! This was our 4th SSR taken since January. We've tried a variety of prices, loaded, unloaded contracts, and cannot seem to get one through, so I think it's time to try a new resort!

You need to find an international seller.

I see a june use year 200 point international seller listed on the board sponsor website, right now! it's listed at $139 pp but make an offer. You never know.

I'd jump on that asap. We had 4 BCV taken in a row, than getting an international seller and finally passed on thr 5th one.

Has anyone noticed that all of the reported taken contracts for AKL are for March or Sept? I always thought these were the slightly less popular use years. It’s surprising no Decembers have been reported.

I had a Dec one taken a few days ago…

 

[RachStu]

Ah, so you did. I missed that one. I guess the double points for 2021 made the otherwise seamingly reasonable price per point low.

Easy to miss with so many being taken. I hadn’t been paying attention on UY of what’s been taken. Maybe a bit ironic but we’re now waiting to hear on a March UY. Sure seems like there are a lot of AK Dec UY available across the market though.

My 1st Aug was taken. Hoping economic turmoil pauses take backs for a few weeks...

I guess it really doesn't matter what the original use year is. Dis can reallocate the points when re-deeding them.

They can but it still has to have the correct points left to make that worthwhile, For example, they can’t change an April UY contract to a Sept UY contract if that April one didn’t include 2021 points since that is what they need to sell someone a Sept UY contract right now.

I'll try to update next weekend but I have a solo trip on the books for Flower and Garden (I'm clearly turning into my mother, lol) so it might be delayed. But it will get done!

I had a December use year taken on 5/2 as well.

 

[Ginamarie]

Need advice. What do you all think has a better chance of passing ROFR, both are 100pts…OKW extended no 2022 pts, $125……or SSR $135 with full points?

SSR

Ours that was taken was a February use year. Our small contract that passed is December but we also paid a higher price.

Seems like an accepted offer this low is almost certain to be taken.

Asking price was $150/pt. I made the offer at a point when I already had three in ROFR review, thinking it had no chance. As the pending 3 contracts started to pass, I was hoping this one wouldn't and a bit fearful it would.

Essentially I was helping DVD and the seller make a deal. Glad I could help.
