You do get a $300 travel credit, so I see the fee more as $250 a year as we easily use the $300. We have and have liked over the years, but with the annual fee increase (I think it used to be $400 or $450), we are thinking about downgrading or getting rid of it. My husband doesn’t like change though, so who knows - it does have some decent perks as well..

It was hard for us to swallow the $550 AF also but the $300 travel credit is easy to use. But, where we get a lot of value from the card is in the Lounge/Restaurant benefits of $28pp. We fly out of SEA and easily spend the credit each time we fly out of there. (Bambuza) Plus we like the rental car protection as it is the primary insurer when you use it. And don't forget about the TSA credit. (I'm starting to sound like one of those travel blogs.)

If you fly out of an airport often that has a good Priority Pass restaurant, it's a no brainer.

I feel so sorry for BRV owners. BRV is Disney's neglected 3rd stepchild. I really do hope they fix it up though. It would also help CCV's availability during the holiday season.

If you look at next Februarys availability a lot of the rooms are already all booked up. I hadn’t seen that in the past so I wonder if they have on their books the refurb starting!!

I’m crazy excited this passed for so cheap especially with all the BWV being gobbled up at more than this per point. Now I just need poly 1 to be part of poly 2 and it will be perfect, as i didn’t know that was even on the horizon when we decided to get some points here.

Maybe I should switch my focus to a cheap poly contract instead of VGF2.

I love how these "premium" monorail resorts are quickly becoming SAP

Advice request. Ok with all the price increases I have an approved 25 point BRV purchase at 120 a point with my desired use year. Do I go forward with this or wait it out for a possible AUL at the same price with longer expiration?

I have been too just because ROFR is not taking them... But all the small contracts are still so high...

I’m thinking about offering some of them that have been on the market for a while.

Only took 50+ plus days but Mele Kalikimaka to me!!!!!

Also add that they sent our closing docs within 2 hours of notifying us about ROFR so i guess we just did everything all at once. Gave us another $100 off too

That’s exactly what I did mine was sitting for a bit and was listed at $155. It never hurts to make an offer the worst they can say is no, then you move on.

Whoever would have predicted that the monorails resort points would ever be considered SAP (sleep around points)

same here, as of today my $125 SSR has been in ROFR two weeks… definitely not passing…

I submitted on 3/3 and passed on 3/23 for $125/pt - 160 points at SSR

I am so hurting right now because I offered $140 for this contract and my husband said no and it took the agent too long to get back to us so I put in another offer that ended up getting taken in ROFR. But am happy that it passed for you. We have another one in ROFR now so hopefully this one will work out.
