Looks like Disney liked the $200ish savings in your offer... silly how that worked out. sorry to see that.

 

[happythoughts & pixiedust]

Congrats...I must have used up all my pixie dust

When I saw your post earlier today I thought mine was toast too. Shocked when I got the waiver email literally an hour later. Sorry yours didn't make it.

I bet it had to do with what unit/or bungalow the points were a fraction of. They maybe trying to get a larger share of points for a particular unit so they can be sold in larger contracts if necessary.

I had never thought of this angle before, but it makes a lot of sense actually!

Just emailed Magic Vacation Title about my estoppel. They responded saying they got 150 yesterday the 17th and are processing them. So any day now.

hope mine was one of those 150!!!

Congrats to all who passed today!

Hopefully tomorrow is estoppel day!

After hearing crickets from Fidelity and First American I followed up again today with both by email. It turns out my estoppel was received 2/10 but the title company has been sitting on it without any communication, even after I followed up by email with them last week. It turns out 2/10 was estoppel day after all. Now the title agent says she will try to have the closing docs out tomorrow but I won’t hold my breath.

I called my broker yesterday and she said she got like 40 dropped on her from the DVC ROFR office Friday. She said they waived my SSR $100/pp but give her a couple of days to process the closing paperwork, just waiting on that before I celebrate it's official. My luck isn't good enough to celebrate before I sign documents haha.

I'm calling it, talked to my broker tonight.

Hope my 2nd contract is one of the 150, been waiting almost a month after passing ROFR...

500 of the points that are banked need to be used by March 31, 2022. I also have 550 points at beach club that are banked so I have 1100 to use along with these 1000, we're thinking of doing the Poly Bungalows for two weeks in February 2022 to use them up but we'll see. I won't get these VGF points in my account at the 11 month window to book there and I need to use up some beach club points so I think the poly bungalow would be a nice post covid (I hope) vacation for the family and probably the only time I"ll have that many points to use

Hope you have a great vacation with your family .

Man you people are throwing me for a loop today! At one point late 2019/early 2020 I was set on direct then the flu hit so didn't buy. A month or so ago we decided to pursue ownership again but then found out the minimum buy in increased to 125 (not to mention the $ increase in prices) so started making offers on resale but as you stated getting outbid or the availabll contracts aren't exactly what we want kind of sucks. After reading some of these posts We may be back on direct route again!

I will say its definitely easier to tell yourself to be patient when you already have points to play with. My resale contract could not have gone more smoothly and now knowing the process, I realized how lucky I was. I don't know how many points you are looking to buy, but if you weren't planning on getting 125, you can always bid on a smaller point resale contract locking in your use year, and then supplement it with direct points after resale closes. Once you're a DVC member, the minimum to buy direct points drops down to 25 if paying cash or 50 if financing since it will be considered an add on. And they will match your use year. Of course you'll still need 125 to get the blue card but if that's not important to you as getting the perfect set of points for your family, this is a way to do it.

There are lots of extremely large companies that have data hacked. Lowe’s, pay pal, Home Depot, Macey’s, TJX ( Marshall’s, TJ Max and Home Goods) just to name a few. It happens more than people think.

Yeah, but those companies don't all store financial information in unencrypted emails.

Same broker/title company. We passed ROFR 1/14. I emailed First American 2/10 about the delay. Turns out estoppel was received 1/26 or around there and they were working on the closing papers. Later that night I had the closing papers What would have happened if I didn’t reach out?

Ok, sorry, I can't avoid this topic; I'm bored waiting on ROFR (Today's the day for sure), and this is what I deal with daily.. I've tried to avoid it because I don't want to derail the thread from its purpose. The alert says nothing about financial or credit card information being stored and taken from an email account. It says, as a precaution, you may want to keep an eye on your credit card account. Maybe they've had people send their credit card info because they couldn't contact them over the phone, I don't know. We can't speculate either way. Also, by the sounds of it, it's a spam/phishing scam. It gains access to the email account by you clicking a link, and I guarantee you, every single business has had a person click a phishing link. I actively train my company monthly on how to avoid this. And lastly, encrypting email is just to safeguard its transport between accounts. If someone has access to your email account or the receiving email account, it doesn't matter whether if you've encryption set or not; It's unencrypted sitting in your mailbox. Use whatever title company you want. I'm just trying to be fair to Magic Title here.

Wish I could have started that trend but alas, it was not to be. (Not surprising though after what I’ve seen taken since my offer).
