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

So VGF is a better deal and I don't feel bad about using it for SAP.

I'm afraid that my temptation to buy a fat AUL contract is going to hit a fever pitch.

I have been thinking the same thing! Trying to figure out how many years it would take for the annual dues to meet up with the savings on the contract.... In my scenario, it's 18 years assuming an annual 3.5% increase on dues....

IMO, trying to find a pattern is useless. The only thing we know for sure is that if you are paying more than what seems to be the floor for ROFR your chances are higher than if you are below.

My buyer is paying $120/point for SSR. . That is below what is being taken so I think they have a higher chance of losing it…but who knows as sometimes things pass.

So, as long as you are comfortable with the resale buying process, and willing to wait it out if things get taken, go for what you want to pay and hope for the best!

How do I find out what the floor is for ROFR? I will consult what others are offering on the boards of this website. Also, I look at resale websites as to what their average is for the resale contracts they sell from month to month. However, those average still don't tell me what the floor is. So often I am guessing. This last contract the agent said it was priced right and that Disney was not taking back very many Bay Lakes, so it would probably be fine. She did not tell me what the floor was. So how do I find that out? I am willing to offer above the floor, I just need to try to figure out what that is. Any inside to this would be very much appreciated.

My problem is that I know if I owned at Aulani, I'd want to go to Aulani much more often than is prudent. I'm less worried about dues and more worried about blowing a $10,000 hole in my family's annual airfare budget.

Go to the first page of this thread. Look at the lowest dollar amount of contracts that passed and the highest dollar amount of contracts that got taken. The risky zone is somewhere in that range.

I'm tempted to buy AUL, but I really prefer having a WDW resort as a home base. That way if I can't switch out at 7 months, I still have a WDW resort for my stay.

LuckyEmblem---$141-$12689-80-AKV-Dec-40/21, 80/22, 80/23- sent 3/1

My first ever contract . I already want to buy some VGF2 once my member number comes through but doubting I get anything until April (assuming it passes).

LuckyEmblem---$141-$12689-80-AKV-Dec-40/21, 80/22, 80/23- sent 3/1, passed 3/23

I have a question maybe someone here can answer..I will be a new DVC member sometime after this closes (which as I understand could take a while). Let's say I put an offer on another resale contract and it were accepted..what are the logistics of making sure the new contract gets put on my existing DVC membership? Would it be possible?

Rule #1: Make sure your deed is titled exactly the same way. "Husband and Wife as tenants in the entirety" is legally something different than "Husband and Wife as joint tenants with right of survivorship." If you're a sole owner then this isn't much of a problem.

Rule #2: You would need to have the same Use Year. If you have the same Use Year, you will have a single membership but still two contracts.

If you buy a contract with a different Use Year, you will have a second membership number. You will still be able to log in to the member website using the same email address, and you'll see everything on a single dashboard.

Probably nothing till March 31.

Who is your guide? I've heard nothing of this yet. We're putting some feelers out there to see if we can find any more details.

 

[ADress&AnimalSidekick]

would these be your only contracts? If so, I may recommend sticking to one use year as it should make it easier to manage and combine points as needed.

Yes first ever. I'm hoping one goes through and then I will use that use year going forward. I'm learning. Thanks for the advice.

I also could not find any information online, so I emailed my guide as well. I will let you guys know if I get a reply.

welcome to my world, but going the other way

TFW your Pualani Elite benefits expire...

it doesn't hurt to have a small contract at AUL if you can stomach the dues. AUL points chart is brutal and you'll likely only be able to book higher category rooms at 7 months.

meh. Pualani benefits are worthless. I've had it for 10 years. I've never been upgraded to first class, only premium economy a couple of times

Someone in the DVC fans group said they emailed their guide wanted to add on today before the price went up and the guide told them to wait until tomorrow... He asked again and the guide would only say "I'll call you tomorrow...." Ugh, the suspense is killing me now lol

I've got three kids and my wife doesn't pack light, I save a couple hundred bucks on bag fees.

The guide wouldn't push them off to make it more expensive tomorrow, so what is really going on here?
