ROFR Thread April to June 2024 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[WinterSolider]

I’m also starting to get a bit nervous with my 90$ per point AKL contract currently being in ROFR. Before the new incentives I wasn’t particularly nervous as there were no signs of ROFR activity on AKL in the recent past. But with those incentives that could quickly change.

Wait new AK incentives?

How'd I miss that?

Yep new AK, SSR and BLT ( I wouldn't call BLT a deal though)

My worries are that they might need a larger inventory of AKL points due to the new incentives. However, they could already have enough points and just want to sell them off. Even with these incentives, I believe that resale contracts offer a much better deal for AKL and similar resorts.

I passed with fully loaded at 90 a point just before the incentives. I don't think the incentives are spur-of-the-moment, so RORF would have probably taken points in advance if needed. Fingers crossed for you. I think you are good.

That makes me feel a bit better, thank you.
There is no reason why they would start ROFR only after announcing the new incentives.

Yes I immediately told my husband it was probably veginAZ, but I’ll never unsee it!

My brain reads it that way too but I think it’s VegInAZ?

I couldn't stop reading it that way either after I figured out what you all were reading it as, it started to grow on me.. but... I was able to get it changed today Now I can update my avatar in a few weeks

I thought I might be safe with OKW promo ending on 6/24... alas, another one bites the dust. 0/2 on my OKW contracts.

Considering they're pretty much completely sold out your points probably are helping them restock..

 

[tobeychris]

Ok so it’s just the way they are listed?
Nothing from 2022 is still available, if they are banked into 2023 then they are now 2023 points (unbankable), not 2022 points.

I believe it should be written like this.

I see what you mean. I think it would be more like 36/23, 200/24 in that case.

They get to buy at $65 & sell direct extended at $200-ish, that's smart.

Oh yep, if the 100 has already been banked to make the 200. You are correct.

Ooh I would love a one time name change, for reasons I won’t disclose here. How does this work? Do I have to make a compelling argument for why I don’t want to keep my username?

Yeah it probably has to be read as something you wouldn't wanna yell out loud at Disney.

nxsteven---$115-$23000-200-BLT-Jun-19/23, 200/24, 200/25-Seller pays MF '24- sent 6/6

Checked in with our broker yesterday. We're still waiting. FWIW, I used this same company last year and we passed in ~19 days. Fingers still crossed!

Also, our closing company agreed to allow us to purchase on a credit card with a 3.2% fee. Chase has a "Pay Over Time" option that includes 0% APR (I believe this is on first-time use) over 12 or 18 months. If we get to this stage, we're going this route on a new card with a new sub to spread the payments at 0% interest and also hit the sub bonus. We have the cash, so it would just be a monthly payment and allow the HYSA to earn a bit more interest.

Pro moves all around.

Looking more in to the payment feature now and it might be an abort... Looks like there is "0% APR" but a "monthly fee" which, while less, is still a fee lol

I'm going to miss it. Some days you really need something to smile about, and your old name made me shake my head and smile every time.
