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

But the process to add points to you account takes less than 5 minutes. Many people find the right CM willing to do that and it is completed in that time. Disney does not have to make you wait 2 - 3 weeks for a quick job. They choose to do so.

There's a stack of paperwork a mile high that a relatively small team is working through. If you call, you get your piece of paper moved to the top of the pile. It's nothing nefarious.

Contract isn't signed yet but I just got a 300 point loaded Aulani for $100.

That's incredible

There’s one easy solution. Buy direct!

Hard to do when you are saving $23,000 off the price of direct.

As frustrating as it is, this goes with the territory of buying resale. The resale process isn’t really difficult, but it is time consuming. Buying direct is indeed pricier, but as we all know you get the points almost instantaneously. You pay more in currency with direct, but you pay considerably more in time on the resale market. As much as we’d all like to have it both ways, at this point that’s not how the system works.

Agreed. I have noticed that it does goes much faster at certain times of the year. For example I purchased a resale at the end of December. It passed ROFR in 15 days, closed within 7 days, got contract added in 19 days, points 7 days later. I thought it went rather quickly. I bought a second resale at the beginning of February and it took much longer. 23 days to pass ROFR and an international seller had trouble getting papers notarized and mailed back so that took another 23 days. Just got points added a few days ago. I sold a contract March 22 and it's been in the ROFR process for almost a month, and if Disney decides to buy it back, I don't expect my money until June since that's the set closing date.

While I get your point. It’s not really “active” time meaning you have to do something about it, it’s waiting time.

Personally I dealt with a contract issue direct that took a month and 3 revisions to resolve.

While I had my points, there is no guarantee direct will be easier, you will just have your points faster.

who was your broker?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Makes sense. What was it originally listed for? There are so many Aulani listings on the sponsors site and they’re all listed between $120-150pp range. I’m thinking who’s going to buy all this?

Listed at $125. I didn't think the seller would go for my lowball because there's another contract, same size, same use year, but stripped, also listed at $125.

I honestly think it’s a fair offer. Aulani is still an active selling resort and the demand is pretty low. Sometimes I wonder if I should have bought a non-subsidized contract for $20-25pp less because it would take me 8 years to make up for the difference in annual dues. Mine was listed for $145 and I offered $120. The seller flat out rejected my offer without a counter but a week later, he settled for $125pp. Anyhow, congratulations. It’s hella cheap way to buy SAP!

Eff SAP, I'm going to Aulani.

Lol. Good for you! I love staying at Aulani but that pesky Transit Tax is really annoying, especially for those GVs.

Unfortunately, I can't add this as it predates this quarter's thread and I had the Q1 thread locked a few weeks ago. Congratulations on your pass, though !
