ROFR Thread January to March 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[ValW]

To anyone who’s been involved with threads such as these or has paid attention to the ROFR for a while say whether it seems that Disney tends to buy back larger point contracts versus smaller point contracts? Does anyone find that to be more common or is it really a mix of both? When I say larger I mean like 200 point plus (not that it’s that large but large to me haha)

In December, I had two 50 point BLT contracts taken @ $155. I didn't think the price point or contract size would be appealing to Disney. I was wrong.
I've had three BWV contracts taken this month- $110, $115, $118.
I had a Beach Club contract pass @ $120 p/point.
I think I'm going to stop trying to figure out how Disney decides and just keep trying to get one through ROFR.

At that price it’s definitely better to buy direct because there’s not as much closing costs either, no restrictions and the points are immediate. I was told by a dvc guide that the best time to buy direct is right before your UY starts because they will give you the previous use year points too. Ex- I have a feb use year if I buy in jan I’d get 2020 and 2021 points but if I bought in March I’d only get 2021.

While that is true I will add I just recently bought direct in Dec/Jan and they gave me my 2020 points even though my uy is Aug. My understanding is if they have inventory they will give it to you. And granted I bought small addons only, I felt they had plenty of inventory already for my sold out resort purchases. Told my guide how many points and which resort for my uy and points are added same day. Sorry if I contributed to some of the ROFR taken recently. But man, it’s such a smoother easier process to buy direct. Been looking to add resale now since I have my blue card status at this point and checking like 5 websites daily for that perfect contract is a bit stressful. Luckily I am in no hurry to add so I just have to keep reminding myself that I guess. Such a difference process from when I bought my first resale and so wasn’t restricted to a specific uy yet.

I will add that another unique thing that happened in 2020 was the DVC decided to use points owned by DVD to transfer to owners who had banked 2018 points ready to expire. I do wonder if that is a factor in some of the buy backs. We have no idea how many points that was but the ROFR process would help to replenish points for them to use...even if not the same resort as the ones that were given to owners.

An August UY would be in it's 2020 UY right now so those are current points that they had to include.

Update 1/30/21: There is no update.

I am really interested in your response. Although we probably will hear on the same day. I have an identical BLT contract just at 100pts submitted for ROFR on 1/21 but I agreed at $165... Guess we will see.

True I guess I just didn’t pay the MF for 2020 though.

That’s how it always works with direct, I believe. They do make it sound like you’re getting something extra though!

SUPER BUMMED!

Disney bought my contract

Hopefully I do this right:

SSR: $100-$25000-250-February 0/20, 250/21, 250/22 sent 1/27

Question for you experienced folks. This seller has another contract that is exactly the same. If we agree on like $101 or $102 do you think that would also be bought back?

Sorry they bought it back. Could you still please reformat that with the link in post #1 so it can go on the list? Every contract helps, even the bummer ones!

Just curious...was your contract the loaded Dec UY from DVC Resale Market. I think it had 200/20. I was looking at that contract just in case my 100pt one got ROFR but there was already an offer accepted on it before I heard back.

yup that was me. Original ask was $174 we agreed at $165. Congrats on getting thru last week!! I have a small DEC UY BLT contract I bought resale in 2009 have always wanted to addon now finally taking the plunge, hopefully we get good news next week!!

Good luck! I think you got a great price on that loaded contract seeing how resale prices are going through the roof right now. I was wondering what that contract ended up going for...nice when its a fellow Disboarder that grabbed it.

I am so thankful that mine went though especially hearing that they are grabbing BLTs left and right. Was a little doubtful in the beginning that we might've paid a few dollars too much but now I think we got lucky seeing how the prices are currently $$$$ and DVC is already ROFR contracts within dollars of ours.

SO JEALOUS OF THE BCV price! I just had an offer accepted for a BCV contract and waiting for seller to sign the agreement so it can be sent to Disney for ROFR. I can tell you, I paid much more than that

Thanks for the reassurance!! I think it’s just part of the process feeling you paid too much, I feel the same currently. From what I see published online I am the high bid for current contracts waiting on ROFR. I was hoping to pay more around $161 after seeing some contracts get ROFR’d at $155 but didn’t want to lose the contract over a couple hundred dollars. So we continue to wait, fingers crossed for some news on Monday!!!

It will actually get submitted tomorrow. This is the 3rd try for BLT, previous 2 were stripped and got taken at $149 & $144. Hoping 3rd time is a charm!

Our 100 point BLT just got taken at $150 and was stripped......wishing you good luck.

This is just crazy. I am sorry for you .

Wow. When I bought my Dec UY BLT 100 point contract in May at $150 I thought it was on the high side, but it has banked 2018, all 2019 and 2020 points and beyond so felt it was worth it for all the extra points

Now feeling like I got a great deal seeing how many BLT are being taken. Hoping things get better for people soon!

Well we are hoping for the same result. This is the 3rd one we have bid on in a month so I am hoping the odds will be with us! Gonna keep trying until we get BLT!
