ROFR Thread January to March 2025 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

So it looks like the only contacts they have taken so far this year or even recently is AKV?
And what contract are we waiting on? Yep AKV.... Throw me some pixie dust please.
In the exact same boat... my AKL was sent 1/6 and from that 1/2 -> 1/21 comment hopefully some news end of week or early next.

Only hope is that the taken ones were all submitted in 2024 and we are starting to see the first 2025 only ones. Finger crossed!

We submitted our poly on 1/3 and just passed today. You’ll probably hear by the end of the week. Good luck!!

We passed ROFR on our first DVC contract today! This was a “low but firm” contract which was originally listed about 5% lower - we jumped on it the day it was listed, and increased our offer due to multiple bidders. Still happy with our offer as it is below the average and exactly 50% of the current direct pricing. This was the first contract we bid on after several years of following the market, The DVC Show podcast, and lurking here on disboards 😀

We were following AKV ROFR activity closely in December before jumping on a contract that met all our parameters. I’m thinking the timing of submitting in January may benefit all of us. Looks like you got a slightly better deal than us - good luck!

Ours cleared ROFR faster than I was expecting, under 3 weeks! Looks like you may only be a few days behind us - good luck!
 
Yeah, I know it’s low, but it’s how we value them when factoring in what we are willing to pay price per point, and I know that’s different for different people. If we rent to David’s and they are points on the low end like Saratoga it’s $16 per point and then a little under $9 in dues, the remaining $7 is taxed and with our current tax structure it’s about a $4 takeaway. Pair that with the fact that we might not have as much time to use or rent them and personally $10 works for our value equation. I get why others are thinking of it differently (and I’m sure if we were considering renting to have more we would too), this just works for us. I think for a more standard metric on a deal site, as someone else said, maybe $15 is a good halfway point.
With the new transfer rules IMO the value has gone up.
Say I buy a new contract for my April UY. The contract includes ie 100 expiring points. By the time I get the contract and points loaded to my dashboard we are maybe ie 40 days out before checkin of my next Disney trip.

I have multiple UY and I book both 7 and 11 month reservations and if it’s a 7 month reservation I can transfer the points to the other UY and swap the current points. By doing that I extend the life on the current used points.
 
All right, people, I could use some advice.
I have a chance to add some saratoga points on my use year (which is August).

The terms are fairly favorable, since this was an international seller, the agreement has been negotiated 8 months ago and he needed to get some lawyer document since his wife was not able to provide consent due to medical issues ( a lot, I know).

The terms are, 160 points contract, 87 dollars a point and it is a truly fully loaded contract. 2024-160, 2025-320, 2026-160.
The seller is even willing to work with me with dues giving me a prorated refund for 2025 and he pays 2024.

At this point, I was looking to maybe get some poly points with Disney since I kind of enjoyed the new towers, love the original poly and am not yet a blue card member, but this contract seems like such a good deal financially, that I may just do the resale instead and rent those 160 2024s to amortize the cost. Would you think getting the poly points direct may be a wiser decision if money was no definitive problem, however, it would be likely one or the other.

That sounds like a great deal with the perfect use year and amount of points for me...

Think only you can answer the question what contract is right for you. Guess it depends how much you want the Blue card as other wise you could pick up resale Poly points and save some $. They are starting to trend down on price.

Yeah, I agree it is ultimately my decision, it's more a question of what would you do :) want to hear different perspectives from more seasoned people.

Personally if money was no issue. Id be buying Poly resale and not worrying about the discounts with the blue card. (unless the resale cost was close to direct)
 
There are two answers.

40 year old me, with kids aged 10 and 8, would absolutely buy the SSR contract and save the money. (And, actually, 40 year old me wouldn't even do that.)

Today-me (just shy of 56), with both kids out of college and out of the house, would buy the direct contract and not look back.

As a friend explained it to me: Thrifty until Fifty, then Spend 'til the End.
