ROFR Thread Jan to March 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

100 pt March UY loaded Aulani subsidized available on Fidelity.

Already gone! That seemed expensive, even for subsidized (was $150 pp). I wonder if it was a full priced offer?

I'm at 4 weeks tomorrow...it gets harder to stay patient as the days go by! At this point, I just want them to put me out of my misery if the answer is no!

Seriously! They just keep me hanging on! I’d rather they cut me off and let me find another one!

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why would someone have a contract for like 86 points or 213 points? Why the odd number? Is there a reason behind that?

When you buy direct, you can get whatever number of points you want. Most likely, the odd numbers come from a situation where the buyer knew the most likely time the were going to stay each year, then looked at the points chart for that time and asked for that exact amount.

Could be a fixed week contract. Could also be a part of an initial direct purchase that the buyer wanted split evenly into individual contracts for eventually passing on to their kids. Or the buyer believed they knew exactly what they needed based on existing point chart. There are many possible reasons that could result in these odd numbered contracts.

one day, I will buy a contract that is a prime number

That clue tells me it is likely an older 1990's contract before DVC started some major tinkering with their point charts. It was never a good idea to buy EXACTLY the number of points you think you'll use every year as it never works out that way (unless it is fixed week). A 20% minimum over may cover you, however a week that used to cost me about 180 is now 208. DVC point inflation is why the OTU points exists as there were lots of PO'd members that bought 86 points and then needed 95 ten years later with no alternative but to buy more or borrow and screw up the next year.

Since it is probably an older contract, the owner paid a lot less than current prices (OKW was $62 when we bought in 1996), so depending on the resort and ROFR trends it might be worth trying for a lower bid.

DVC point inflation is why the OTU points exists

I took into account the ability to purchase 24 OTU points when figuring out which contracts I wanted to purchase based on point charts. Interesting to know this is why they came about. I was surprised to learn they were even available like this and for basically the same price as renting. I just purchased 24 OTU points for my stay in August and Old Key West showed up as a home resort for me the next day. When I chatted with MS they told me the OTU points I bought were actually OKW points and that I wouldn't actually be able to book OKW 11 months out as it appeared (not that I was going to).

 

[DonMacGregor]

To clarify, they can’t just add points…they must have them in stock.

When they take a contract is is dissolved and all current points go back in the bucket. There is no longer that contract.

When they sell, they use all the points now owned to create new contracts to sell.

But if they buy a contract that has no 2021 or 2022 points, then when the contract is dissolved, no 2021 or 2022 points can be added to the big pot of points.

That is why when buying direct at a sold out resorts it’s not always a guarantee they have the points you need for your UY in stock.

They can also only combine those purchased points they now own with points from the same deeded unit. They can't take 100 points from Unit 12345 and 100 points from Unit ABCDE to create a new 200 point contract.

Expensive 40 points, but now have enough to park my butt above the savanna without moving regardless of the season. Worth it, but no, no, no more, no, no, no more. Looking for a friend for March BLT 50 or under. Think I have a HH still in ROFR stage, somewhere...

OK, talk me off the ledge...for those that have had to wait longer for a decision on ROFR, does that typically mean good news or bad news? People that submitted the week following me (2/15) are finding out and I'm still waiting...
