Disney's formula for approvals seems random. I'd love for an insider to give us the scoop one day!
The best unofficial explanation I've read is from our moderator Sandisw
From Feb "
That can be one reason but I have been told over the years that they decisions, needs, and reasons are always in flux and that they do not want to have a system in place that can be "figured out" because it is consistent all the time.

In addition to that, they may be taking them because they have a waitlist for people wanting to buy points. They could have decided that they want points right now to help replace the points they gave to people in 2020 to use for the banked 2018 points that expired during closure or shortly after opening.

Basically, we here can try to determine trends, but even recently they took back one from an international seller which we all had pretty much figured was a sure thing!"

And from Dec.

What I have been told over the years, is that ROFR is meant to be vague and that when and how they decide things is different all the time,

The reasons and goals change. They really don’t want things set in such a way that people know if I pay X, Y or Z at A, B, or C, it will pass.

Honestly, in the 11 years I have been. DVC member, it really seems that the number of ROFR recently is above average for such a short timeframe.

So, I think in some cases, they see what the need is and decide. Other times, I think it’s random.

If I had to guess why they are taking a lot of SSR is to increase stock to sell direct at a cheaper price than RIV during the current state of affairs. I am not sure that would have been the plan prior to Covid,

I do notice they let a few get through under $100 though so again, it makes no sense...unless it is on purpose so they can grab more points as buyers take more risks?

There is a reason many will say it’s a monkey and a dart board! Lol "
 
Maybe DVC is trying to build up a cache of points at all resorts in order to cash in on the 50th Anniversary coming up in October, would be the perfect time to sell people direct points.

Well we threw our hat back in after both our contracts got taken earlier this year. This isn't necessarily the best deal but oh well. Just hoping we pass this time.

Honestly it’s not that bad considering the increases as of late. PVB hovered under $140 for awhile and has since climbed in the $150-160 range. It is stripped so maybe on the higher side but by next year I’ll bet PVB will be over $170.
 
Welcome to the BLT buy back club! We might need to have a drink at the Top of the World Lounge when it finally opens. I really think they are gobbling up Feb UY in particular.

Regarding "gobbling up Feb UY in particular" at BLT it's just that the largest percentage of contracts sold at BLT were Feb so there will also be more resales of Feb UY. DVC stuck on that UY for a very very long time in sales much like they did for Dec UY at AKV.
 
Recent Passed
$105-$23325-200-AKV-Mar-0/20, 200/21, 200/22 = 7,200 points, cost $23,325 so $3.24pp
$110-$24320-200-AKV-Jun-0/19, 0/20, 200/21, 200/22 = 7,200 points, cost $24,320 so $3.38pp
$112.5-$23752-200-AKV-Aug-0/20, 400/21, 200/22= 7,400 points, cost $23,752 so $3.21pp

looks like $3.25pp or higher is getting through at the minute, again this is just a guide based on very small data samples

Feel like we were very lucky with 2/19 pass at:
$107-$19940-180-AKV-Dec-0/20, 0/21, 180/22 = 6,300 points, cost $19,940 so $3.17pp

Now looking for PVB add-on....

I made an offer on this but you had already come to terms and offered more per point, congrats!
 
I was holding out hope (see my post "Credit card $1000 deposit credited back - bad sign?") but now I realize my baby is gone!

She's gone, oh why, what went wrong!

dvccurious---$108-$22835-203-AKL-MAR-406/21, 203/22, 203/23- sent 2/15, FAILED 3/8

Ouch... painful loss
