[Networth]

They ran my CC about a week before I passed ROFR.

 

[Jelly563]

My situation is the opposite. My check hasn't been cashed yet.....but I am in the ROFR waiting room

That sucks! Welcome to the distinguished group. It’s not really a group you want to be a part of, but distinguished nonetheless

Boop, not feeling good about mine now. Same price and same UY but full 2018 points. Disney actually sent the contract back today because the seller didn’t sign, only the bankruptcy attorney did. Hopefully back in the queue tomorrow.

I know the feeling. When we were buying our AKV contract, I saw a similar contract taken that with a higher offer than ours. The next 7 days that followed were nerve wracking, but it passed somehow. As many have said, there is no rhyme or reason for what is ROFR'ed.

Hang in there and good luck.

Yeah the 200 point March that was reported taken a few days ago was proportionally very similar and made me wonder. Best of luck to you. They only need so many, let’s hope yours isn’t one of them .

I was really hoping it would pass. The agent we are working with had another one for us, so we're starting all over again.

Best of luck with round two!

Just found out we passed 1/22!! So excited!! This was our first try for our first contract! We rented points last September (during hurricane Irma ) and fell in love with AKV. Our two little boys (3 and 1) couldn’t get enough of the animals! Now we just need to add on direct!

A little off topic, but I always wonder how owners get into point situations such as this. Is this just a result of poor understanding of how to use points? Meaning how does somebody bank their 2016 points into 2017 and then use all of their 2017 and most of their 2019 points without ensuring that those 2016 banked points were used first?

There are many ways that could happen, but just a simple example: perhaps they took a big trip in 2017 by both banking and borrowing and ended up dropping a night or a studio when someone backed out.

So is there no way to ask when you cancel to still used the banked and borrowed points and "un-use" the current UY points so that they may potentially be banked into the next UY?

 

[pkrieger2287]

Wow... Just reading through this thread is raising my blood pressure for starting this process within the next week.

My wife and I will be first time DVC purchasers. Will post details when I have them and it is submitted for ROFR.

People have called member services to "swap out" points, as you described, but it depends on the circumstances. I haven't tried, myself, but would certainly ask in that type of situation.

Remember, not everyone understands how all this works. It's likely that seller never even thought of it.

Not unless you do a "cancel and rebook," which often is not possible (or safe). For example - I have a Feb 2018 trip booked with a combination of banked, current and some borrowed points. (long story, I can get into it over PM if you want, but I was holding one reservation while trying to book another one). Then recently booked another trip for November 2018 that needed to borrow points. So I have 2 upcoming trips using a combination of current and borrowed points. I cannot take all the banked and borrowed points and reallocate them to the February trip so November 2018 is "current" points that could be banked if we had to cancel.

Good luck! It is stressful, especially the first time. Both contracts we bought, we were on the low end of the ones that passed and well within range of the ones that got taken. But upshot is, it was worth the stress, and I'm not second-guessing whether we could have gotten a better deal. Hopefully you will feel the same way about yours.

 

[Sarabi's Cubs]

Well, they can't close until March 1, so I know they have a trip on the books, but I thought that was odd too.
