That is a nice portfolio. I want me some beach club!!

& I want/need some more Beach Club
I added on a small slice of BCV during COVID, but current prices are delaying the addition of a "little bit" more

Sad face. This is our 2nd contract taken and I’m about ready to buy direct since the savings at this point would only be a few 1000.

I just bought a direct contract for OKW while waiting on the resale ROFR. Talked to the rep in the afternoon and had an account created and 150 points in it an hour later. Also got a blue card.

Good luck to you, whatever you decide.

 

[mrsdoubie]

Thanks! I’m ready. It’s my husband who’s having a hard time with paying the extra money.

If you buy direct the points will expire in 2057, most resale points are not extended and expire in 2042 for OKW.

Buy direct. The extra money and benefits are worth it. You also get 15 more years if you buy OKW direct.

 

[mrsdoubie]

Yeah I think direct is a much better deal. I’m just having a hard time talking the hubs into it. He’s not as big of a Disney fan as I am. I’ll wear him down tho.

With the extension to 2057 I think OKW is the only one I would buy direct

 

[Rush]

With the extension to 2057 I think OKW is the only one I would buy direct

I agree, but I would add it’s the only one I would buy direct over almost any price that will realistically pass ROFR right now. Sure, all resales have restrictions, but OKW is the only one that Disney is truly selling a distinctly different product than the vast majority of OKW resales.

natty650---$280-$21972-75-VGC-Dec-0/20, 40/21, 75/22- sent 7/13, passed 8/13

Wooo just catching up but that's a great price on a great sized contract!

 

[andeesings]

To be clear it’s not $15 for something that use to be free. It’s $15 for something less then what use to be free. There is no more advanced booking and it does not include E-Ticket attractions… you will have to pay an extra $10-$20 per person per ride for that.

And I know I'm late, but if a lot of people buy into it, it's going to make standby lines an absolute torturous misery, and if EVERYONE buys it, then we're just going to be paying to wait in the same lines. It's really a trash system.

 

[andeesings]

So with all these ridiculous asking prices that have been posted, I said to my wife today, let's ask for $180 pp for our AUL contract that I bought for $70 pp in Apr and see if someone comes close to the asking price. Could make a profit of 20k for a few months. She wants her points though.....bad wife!!!!!!

HAHA I literally DREAM about that contract you got at $70 pp!!!

I promise this is the LAST one. This will take me up to 2995 points!

Can you start a thread where you just talk about what you do with all those magnificent points?

Thanks! I’m ready. It’s my husband who’s having a hard time with paying the extra money.

Do the math for him. Here is the math on the contract you had agreed to:

$113 with 86 Regular points in 2022 and 150 starting in 2023 (assuming this is a 2042 contract) = 3086 TOTAL point over the life of the contract
Lets excluding closing cost for a simpler comparison - $113* 150 = $16,950 / 3086 = $5.49 / point

Assuming with direct you get a 2057 contract and full 2021 and 2022 points you will have 5550 points @ $5.49 / point = $30,470 / 150 points = $203.13

Said another way....forgetting the Direct DVC perks and forgetting the simplicity etc. anything less than $203.13 direct is a better deal than the resale contract you agreed to. Extended contracts are another story but the 2042 contracts are way overpriced vs. direct IMHO.

Really nice price!

Just out of curiosity, what was this contract listed at?

Great price!

 

[disneyforsix]

Really nice price!

Thank you! There is another identical contract (same use year and banked points) that is listed at $192 that I put an offer in for, and the seller came back with $189 firm - can't blame them, but not what I wanted to pay. Decided to decline and see what else looked good and sure enough another one popped up within 24 hours @$160 and was negotiable. Glad we waited for sure!
