I’m hoping to hear today, since some from 1/28 heard yesterday, and mine was sent 1/29.

Let’s try this again!! Good luck everyone!

Wow love this deal all the best hope you get it! We need to keep trying for sure they cannot buy them all who would pay dues at $225 a point I doubt they are flying out the door...

Now that they are through the pre-1/19 rush, hopefully they don't "take a vacation" and slow things down to a snail's pace like they sometimes do. :\ Sending you luck for passing!

Thanks so much!!! We actually made a higher offer, which was accepted. Then we got a call from the agent about 15 minutes or so later that they listed it incorrectly. It was showing that all points were available for 2019, but that was a mistake. So we reduced our offer. I felt better going in at the higher price, but I wasn’t going to pay that much over asking without this year’s points available to us. Not that we need them for this year anyway, but it would have been nice to have them.

Seems like they had that vacation last week. They 'should' be ready to go this week.

 

[SimbaAndSparkles]

I hope it really was sent before the 1/19 deadline. Are you the one where the broker tried to say it was sent 1/30 and you corrected him? Congrats!!!

That was me...and the contract was taken so it's a moot point (or a "moo" point, as Joey would say).

Remember, they have wait lists of people wanting to buy direct so the decision is likely based on that since they don't want to hold excess points on the books. As long as there's a wait list they can use to immediately flip the contracts, they certainly can and will buy them all!

I think SSR is only $160pp for direct.

Got the news minutes ago, so my updated string is above. Glad this one went through after the BCV contract we submitted was taken. Not super cheap but I really wanted DVC at DLR as much as a guarantee as possible, so that came at a cost. Plus didn't want nor need a large contract. Also didn't care much about the Use Year since these are exclusively going to be used for VGC.

Just checked my email as well, and I passed!! These are my first points!

I have a difficult time believing they have lists of folks waiting to pay up to $225 per point for DVC. I think they expect more sales maybe due to the changes in limitations for resale. However if you have already purchased direct points it is a moot point you do not loose the benefits on your direct points.

Then why are they taking so many stripped contracts? Do they have points they can "add" kinda OTU to stripped contracts?

It's all to drive sales of the new resorts. It'd be hard to sell Riviera for $188 if you could buy BCV for $100 (just as an example)

Probably the price point. The *main* purpose is to drive up the cost.

I am back now from my Disney trip. I am happy I at least received the bad news while I was in Disney! I notified you guys last week that mine was taken but here is the official thread so it can get updated. I listed my screen name wrong when I originally posted it, but this one is mine.

I'm a little nervous about this one.

Good luck - I had a 230 pt $97 stripped contract taken in December. But who knows. That good luck was sincere not a smart alecky remark.

Oh bummer! We just submitted our 120 point AKV contract with banked 2018 points. Good luck on your next one! Hope somehow we squeak through ROFR.
