ROFR Thread July to Sept 2020 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

Patience pays off! Yeah!

It does! I'm so glad I didn't give into temptation to take that 100-point SEP UY at $237/point and listened to my brain that said "no way; that's too much." AND then listened to my instinct that for some reason said "check the brokers website tonight" randomly on a Sunday evening. ;-)

Thank you! I think I must’ve truly lucked out and got on their site just as it was posted. My offer was in within seconds. I didn’t honestly think I’d be first on both - and I confess I felt the teeniest bit of guilt of snagging both - but either contract was just a little too few in points, unless we only went every third year and could bank/borrow.

 

[Paul Stupin]

It's always random and generally your odds are good. I'd never pay more just thinking it'll help "get it through". Best to just submit your best offer. Then, if it gets bought back, submit another.

I think that’s a good strategy if you have unlimited time and patience. But if you find a contract with just the right UY and the right amount of points, at the right resort, I’d rather pay a little extra to increase the odds of passing ROFR. The incremental higher price of the points doesn't mean much in comparison with the money we pay in dues over the years.

BOOOOOOO! Sorry it got taken.

 

[Kmedders]

My offer is sitting with Disney but I was rereading the contract and am not quite clear on the points. I was hoping the experts here could explain to me. If I close in November, theoretically how many points would I have to use for 2021? Sorry... I’m just not fully understanding how points work yet. First timer here.

[Snowmiser]

I finally got a Beach Club offer accepted! Would have been better if it happened before they started taking contracts, but oh well. I sold a contract that closed in July after waiting 55 days for ROFR so hoping this one goes faster (and that they don't take it).

Just got an email from my broker that we passed! I’m shocked it came back already - I was hoping maybe we’d hear next week. I’m assuming it came back yesterday and she just sent the email this morning. Will update with the tool this weekend. Good luck and happy Friday everyone!

 

[ABE4DISNEY]

I should have tagged you above @ABE4DISNEY but Grand Californian! I found my unicorn contract for VGC and I'm still pinching myself that I got them for $195/point.

WOWZERS!! You found your unicorn(s)!! And they are paying for MF!! Nice work!!

Okay, looks like you have 320 available this year...you have to use 160 of that before they expire. You can bank the other 160 into 2021 if you want giving you 320 for next year. But what is your use year?

That’s a great deal, more than $100 a point less than direct
Well played

September

Ah, that is perfect then; you will have plenty of time to decide what to do with your 2020 points.

September 1, 2020 – You have 320 points that can be used for stays between 9/1/2020 – 8/31/2021. 160 of these you MUST use since they are from 2019. The other 160 can be banked into 2021 (9/1/21---8/31/22). If you want to bank these, your deadline is April 30, 2021.

 

[Sandisw]

September

Since your 2020 UY just started for September ...forget calendar year just UY....the banked 2019 points needs to be used by Aug 31st, 2021.

All other points are normal and can be banked. Or borrowed up to 50%

 

[Kmedders]

Thank you all!!

Thank you! So far every morning I've woken up, I keep expecting to find out I dreamed it, lol.

....EEEEEEE!!! Please let this pass!!!

Got the email and it’s off to ROFR today! Oh the next 30-50 days is going to be torture.

How safe am I? Does Disney often take VGC under $200 in ROFR??

That one taken in October is a little concerning, but it was a 160-point fully loaded, and seems to be an outlier. So I'm going to cross my fingers and trust I'll be all good. Nothing to do now but wait...
