Woohoo!

You got a better deal than me but we had similar contracts sent same day. Mine was SSR 160pts at $95pp with 276 pts coming dec 2024. Maybe I’ll hear today.

Finally decided to pull the trigger after researching on and off for a couple years. Probably could have done a little better but happy enough. I am wondering what to do with the 2023 points if we actually close before the end of September.

Welcome to the Aulani family!

2023 points… call a points broker and see if there is anything you can book that they can rent out.

I think that's a great deal. You've got the 23 points that you can hopefully sell. You're doubled up for 24 & got the seller to pay! Congrats & fingers crossed. I'll be waiting to hear when it passes ROFR!

The 4 contracts are from the same seller & the closing costs were combined for a total of $1,380. That was the X-factor for pulling the trigger. I may have been able to get a better price/point, but FOMO set in & we are not DVC members yet. We are also looking to travel next summer so we wanted to be in that 11-month window. I was originally looking at a 600+ point contract that I was going to pay more per point for, but the sellers backed out. I am so glad they did, because I had not found this forum yet & I didn't realize the benefits of smaller contracts. No points for 2024 but we weren't planning on traveling this year anyways, so it works out for us. We've stayed at Aulani a few times now using the 30% off deal & it was still expensive! Anyways.....fingers crossed

Jumping in in a big way! Well done!

Yes. When we first started looking it was going to be 1 smaller contract. Then it morphed into 1 big contract that fell through (thank goodness). We ended up going with these 4, which I think we will be happy with. We plan on doing a 1bd-2bd each year so this should give us some flexibility with extra points to use/bank. We've also never been to WDW, so hopefully we can get there soon. Only reason I'd be afraid to go is, I'd probably start looking at more DVC contracts .

Can you imagine buying a 600 point contract (for more than the $92), then finding this forum and learning what we’ve all learned. It pains me to think about. lol

Such a better deal, even I’m glad they backed out!

You’ll be looking at more contracts well before then!

Welcome home!

Me too! Thanks! I still think I may have been a bit hasty/overboard, but we wanted to go this year & opted out because rack rates are absurd! I cringe at the thought of my previous deal vs this one. Either way, we're excited and anxiously waiting ......

Welcome home!

You're right! I already am. It's addicting. Others have mentioned it & I feel like I'm starting to understand
