Mason/broker let me put $500 down then $4500 after ROFR all on the credit card. I paid the balance via wire.

Good to know.

I compiled all of the ROFR decisions by date sent. Very orderly and a clear pattern of 18-21 days. If we look at “business days” it may be even closer. I guess the question is, why the outliers that still haven’t heard back. Tomorrow is day 24 for me and others are far more!

Date Sent	Date Decision	Decision	Days
8/30	10/13	Pass	44d
8/30	9/28	Pass	29d
8/31	10/5	Pass	35d
9/7	10/7	Pass	30d
9/10	10/10	Pass	30d
9/10	10/8	Pass	28d
9/10	10/7	Pass	27d
9/13	10/8	Pass	25d
9/15	10/8	Pass	23d
9/15	10/3	Taken	18d
9/17	10/13	Pass	26d
9/18	10/8	Pass	20d
9/19	10/10	Pass	21d
9/20	10/6	Taken	16d
9/20	10/11	Taken	21d
9/21	10/9	Pass	18d
9/22	10/12	Pass	20d
9/23	10/12	Pass	19d
9/23	10/13	Pass	20d
9/23	10/12	Taken	19d
9/24	10/13	Pass	19d
9/27	10/18	Pass	21d
9/29	10/19	Taken	20d

They’re getting quicker then. I think I went 31 days from early august to early sept before I had a decision.

It depends on the size of your contract I think. For a small/less expensive one, the down payment can be less.

I had a contract go in on 9/22 - it's Day 28 for me, and nothing yet. Not sure why others are moving so fast now. I wonder if it's the Brokers holding it up when they get notice?

28-31 days was the trend in September. I had one pass during September at day 28. It seems like in early October times went from 28-31 days to 18-21. You can see the very clear drop off in the chart. The thing is, I’m puzzled why the outliers. I have a few theories:

1. Others have said, ”they can’t take them all” and while this is true it may be a deliberate strategy to create uncertainty at the least and breakage at the worst if people cancel because the date has passed or they can’t take the stress.

2. I wonder If files are assigned and if someone it on vacation it sits until they are back.

The folks at DVC Fan or DVC News should do some journalistic work to expose the inner workings of the ROFR processors. I would bet there are some ex-employees who would be willing to talk. That would be a story I would read!

Is this a new home resort for you? It's not in your signature.

 

[macman123]

No I’ve got over 1k points - but I can only fit 3 on a row!

 

[Chia1974]

Sigh… Still waiting from 9/19.

I beat you. I have a 9/13!

You know 3145 is a weird number right. You’ll just have to buy more after this one passes.

Thank you!!!!!

5 weeks and 4 days later the broker and I found out the seller are using some of their AUL points for an upcoming reservation in March.
They may be able to switch points from their other contract instead or cancel the March reservation hopefully. I just received the news this morning. I knew something was not right for it to take this long.

I’m so sorry to hear that.

I’m some or maybe most contracts it’s mentioned what happens if the seller uses some of the points. In my contract the seller have to reimburse me $25 per missing points.
