ROFR Thread April to June 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[Paul Stupin]

This will take me to 2345 points.

Believe it or not I have never stayed DVC or on property. As I am from the UK flights are banned.......

I will take family and stay in Grand Villa or the Poly Bungalows!

And where do you have the points?

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO ITS HAPPENING!

 

[Amyeliza]

I totally agree! I think you should buy BWV if that’s where you really want to be able to stay as well. I’m wishing now I would’ve bought some Poly points myself. I tried and my first contract was taken. VGF is my favorite and I’m really excited that it passed, but I bought the bigger contract and spent all of my money at VGF and now I’m wondering if I wouldn’t have preferred getting a 50 point contract at Poly (my 2nd favorite simply because they don’t have 1 or 2 bedrooms) and then 150 at VGF to bank and borrow and stay at them every other year. DVC is definitely a luxury so buy with your heart! Please keep us posted as to what you decide to do! I’ve made it through ROFR, signed my contract, and wired the funds; I’m just waiting on the seller to return their contract now. It’s been a week! So, I’m distracting myself with this thread and loving how positive everyone is. There’s enough negativity in the world today!

I love VGF! You made a good choice. I'm also waiting for the seller to return his contract too! I FedExed the envelope with the check last night and they received it this morning. I wish I knew when they returned their contract.

Quiet on approvals this week. It’s Wednesday... thought the 3/16 onwards would be hearing back after a couple already have

I agree! We're anxiously waiting too! Ours was sent 3/17.....lots of finger tapping here..

 

[macman123]

Am sure you'll love it. Are they all the same UY or do you have different ones?

All the same UY. I didn't want to make it complicated.

 

[macman123]

And where do you have the points?

I have

555 BLT (155 direct)
285 VGF
220 PVB
1285 SSR

Im thinking about getting 205 RIV direct points. To allow me to future proof. Either that or direct SSR ones. What do you think?

2345 is such a great number! 2550 doesn't have as good of a ring to it. I've heard it's a good time to buy RIV.

I think if you are looking to hire someone for anything your best bet is me. I will take my pay in biweekly DVC points

I’m in the exact same boat with my sellers returning their documents! I wired my funds yesterday and they arrived that same day which I wasn’t expecting to be so fast! It’s been a week now since we’ve got the closing documents as well and I haven’t heard any updates. I just closed on another contract yesterday and even though it took the sellers like 10 days to get the documents back they at least kept the broker updated with their progress. I know it may be difficult to get an appointment w a notary during covid but at least give an update at this point ya know? I’m just being impatient though Hope yours send theirs back soon!!

I’m with ya too!! As I replied above I’m waiting for my sellers to return their closing contracts too! My last sellers took a week and a half to get them back but updated the broker after several days on their progress so they def spoiled me w the communication

I think tomorrow is the last day of the current RIV incentives. Maybe lock in something and then you can always switch to the new incentive if it’s better the next day because you have the 10 day recision period. We got a fixed week there, figured if I ever had to sell always having a guaranteed reservation makes it more attractive when it’s the only place you can stay.

What kind of upcharge is there for guaranteed weeks?

 

[princesscinderella]

It depends on the week there’s a fixed chart for each week that’s created when the resort goes on sale. I believe it’s 10%. For us we bought week 52 in a standard studio which was 196 points and we added a small extra points to get to the 200 point incentive tier. It was exactly the amount of points we wanted to buy so it worked for us we won’t always use it as a fixed week and in that case you get all the points to use. If the charts get re allocated it might be in your favor point wise and it might not. Some weeks are already a good deal under the 2022 inflated charts

 

[ddematteo29]

Great point! Another reason why I was thinking maybe I should just add on to my current contract of 60 points at the Poly and make it 85 points. I keep going back and forth.

Amy, maybe you or someone else could correct me, but I thought you couldn't buy that small of a contract direct? Am I missing something? Maybe you have to own direct already in order to do so? We don't own anything direct currently, only resale. We would like a small contract to supplement and we're considering direct but we were under the impression that the minimum was 75 points direct. Thank you!

If you are currently an owner, you can buy points beginning at 25 points for most resort. For thr Rivi, it's 50 points minimum.

Do we have to be direct owners? Or just owners in general?

 

[Amyeliza]

Just owners in general. I emailed a Guide yesterday and told her I was buying resale and wanted to buy a direct add-on property in a few weeks (once I'm in DVC's system). She she said was happy to help me and verified my prices were correct and quoted me the closing costs. Once my property goes through, I'm going to buy direct.

Awesome! Thank you so much. Now that we know it's possible, that's the route were going to go as well. If I read correctly, they are able to match my use year?
