Pretty nice to find out in 11 days!!

Congratulations Aaron. I’m getting antsy now, my contract was sent on Feb 25th! I’m starting to think it’s been eaten by someone’s cat!

 

[RamblinWreck]

I just hit day 30 too!

I lost my patience and put out a lowball offer on a new contract. Maybe haggling will take my mind off the wait...

Well, the seller accepted this one too.

I should have known they were just wanting to get rid of it when they had a bunch of points set to expire at the end of this month (banked from 2017) and they had banked all of their 2018 points into 2019. Now I guess all of a sudden I have 2 DVC contracts about to be in the pipeline. Lord beer me strength.

 

[ClosetDisMom]

Aha! You were the other bidder! I’m so glad another Disboard member got the sweet little BCV contract!! Wishing you all a quick ROFR pass and many happy vacations at BCV!!

Wow! I didn't even know there were two bidders. Hopefully you find another small contract and hopefully ROFR is quick and painless for me.

Somehow I imagine that one guy at the office with stacks and stacks of papers who spends an hour just finding the document he wants. Pretty sure some of these contracts end up on his desk

I've heard too the ROFR rate at BLT is pretty high. I'm almost sure this will pass based on price alone, but no one knows what else DVD considers. It was time to add on and I deliberately went as high as I could to avoid ROFR while I'm still waiting on the wait list (for fewer points direct). Hoping the timing is such, I get both and have enough BLT points between the Direct and non-direct contract for a good trip in 2022.

clarksdad---$170-$11379-60-BLT-Dec-0/18, 60/19, 60/20- sent - passed 3/29

Passed through! Maybe some other BLT will he through today too !

3/20

 

[Tiffany H]

When did you submit?

 

[ClarksDad]

3-20. Yea it only took 9 days ! That’s good because I was already anxious waiting ... I don’t know how I could have waited the whole 30 days or even more . Maybe they spend longer on the bigger contracts but who knows? The mouse is mysterious.

I found that the first 10 days of waiting were actually the worst. The first couple of days I was still riding high from the excitement of getting it submitted, so it was on my mind all the time. Then for the next 2 weeks I was seeing all of these other people's contracts pass after only 9 days, 10 days, etc, so I kept thinking "today could be the day!"

I think at about day 18 I managed to actually put it out of my mind for almost a week. Now that it's day 30, I'm back on high alert.


And mine is only a 50 pointer!

Ouch, that's a long wait for bad news!

 

[Drewferin]

Congrats on those passing today!!

I sure as hell hope somebody on the forum grabbed that AKV 60 point Dec UY fully loaded contract 2 minutes before my offer was sent... $129 a point with free 2018 dues is pretty nice if you ask me. That addonitis bug came out and bit me on my lunch break.

Sorry to hear that. It was a nice loaded contract.

Thanks, I guess I'll try again.

That really stinks! However, I’ve personally been encouraged by how many have actually gotten a better contract on their second or third try. I hope that happens for you!

Thanks. I thought about telling the Broker to keep my deposit for the next one but wasn't sure if they could do that or not and don't want to be restricted to one Broker.

Sorry to hear it got taken. The Timeshare Store will do either with your deposit. A good broker would/should want you to get the contract you want, not just something that is in their listings inventory if it’s not the perfect contract for you. Good luck next go round, with whoever has the one you want.

Thanks, didn't know that. Nice people and great thread!

Ah well, it’s 11pm UK time so that means it’s 6pm Orlando time. I doubt I’ll hear anything now until Monday. Argh!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! You’re one of those encouraging stories about passing on your third try. I’m thankful you didn’t have to wait long to hear back on this one!!
