You DVC machine! haha. I was in a similar situation wrt expiring points. I asked the seller (via broker) to book a staycation at the Aulani for my family and we ended up with a three night Ocean View 1BR that we completed two weeks before the points expired, all before ROFR! All the broker had to do was write up an addendum to the contract so that Disney could account for all the points for Estoppel. I too die inside a little at the thought of points expiring. What a tragedy!!

I didn’t know that was even an option! Of course it’s too late to get anything at WDW in the next few weeks or I would consider asking. I’m sure Hilton Head is booked solid too.

1BR at SSR, both preferred and STD are very open the next 2 months. Also, I have seen on the boards, lots of folks are cancelling the next couple of months.

I'm already scheduled to go to WDW for a working vacation with my husband Sept 11-19 (using the banked points from the other AKV contract I bought). My plane reservations are already booked though, so I'm not sure I could extend that trip...

Vacation like a baller....there is some GV and bungalow availability at 115 a night double book one night in a bungalow - it is a "waste" of point but it beats losing the points....

We used to get a $20 discount on the more expensive annual passes. Better than nothing…

I thought pre-pandemic DVC members qualified for a larger discount and could take advantage of the Florida resident rate, which I think saved several hundred dollars.

I was really hoping to see yours (well, tbh, I was hoping to see news on MINE!).

every time I see a post from you in my notifications, I get a glimmer of hope

im just really hopeful to have something before the weekend.

Thank you. I have a glimmer of hope every time I check my email and then it’s mercilessly crushed by email from Amazon, PCH Sweepstakes and other assorted unwanted emails.

They were referring to DL.

Yep, the $20 past discount is referring to what could be applied to the highest DLR APs in person at the ticket windows.

Well- on the suggestion here, I asked the broker about booking us a trip in a couple of weeks. There are 1 bedrooms available at SSR and OKW.
I figure it's worth a shot! The worst that can happen is that the sellers say no, and I'll be right back where I started.

I did look into adding one night at a bungalow or CC cabin, but there were none available around our dates in Sept- lol.

I inquired about a BCV 50 pointer listed on fidelity. It was gone within 20 minutes of listing. Omg, this market is crazy. BTW, it was not my UY so I didn’t feel so bad.

I've learned with Fidelity, there are some great deals if you refresh the page all day and act quickly!!

I lost two great deals on Monday (AKV and SSR). Both were bought in minutes and I was about 10 minutes too late. I was actually "next in line" on the SSR contract, but I also know the chances of it passing ROFR at $112/point are slim to none.

So true constant refresh!

I found a good listing and found almost identical on one of the other sites..price difference was 50PP! I was fortunate to grab the fidelity listing.

Only if it’s a international seller!

I promised myself to not buy another one until I see VGF2 direct prices and not until I use these points for a couple years. But the addonitis is strong especially when I see a small one in my UY. I tell myself I can just rent the points if I don’t use them.
