How many points are you looking for? I didn't have a limit for what the asking price was, but I definitely ignored the contracts that had a combo of higher price per point and longer listing time. IMO, anyone who's had a listing for months and is sitting on a higher price point is not serious about selling, just fishing and hoping to get a bite.
Between 160-200 but I could do 150 on the low end up to 220 on the high end for a great deal.
This was our experience as well. The best priced contract we got was on a loaded BRV. We offered the day it hit the market, was listed at $100, we offered $90 & seller pays admin fee. No counter, accepted within the hour.
You should be aiming for $80 for anything close to 200 pts, and I think you'll get something fairly quickly. I also anticipate someone will break into the $70s for SSR in the next couple of months.
I have plenty of time to try. I do not need the points until January 2025 to book an August 2025 trip.
It's been done, there are a few sub $80 deals done in 2023 for sure but no one beats Jimmy Geppetto with $68 and a double loaded contract too...
Soemone can correct me if I'm wrong, but if you buy a contract with 2023 points banked into 2024, they can't be used until your UY begins for 2024. So if your UY is August or earlier in 2024, then I believe you should be able to replace your 2024 points with the banked 2023 points. This part I'm less confident in, but I think if you borrowed from 2025, those points are now exclusively in 2024 and cannot be returned to 2025, so either way the 2023 points and the borrowed 2025 points have to be used in your 2024 UY.
Oh I know, I remember that amazing contract, I just meant this year
Curious the recommendation on SSR 70-100 pointers? I would like a Jimmy Geppetto contract
Forget "red hot deals," they should start pitching "Jimmy Geppetto deals".I would like a Jimmy Geppetto contract
Definitely check out dvcrofr.com if you have time but I am thinking that on these sub 100 pt contracts you may be more in the $100 price range, thinking $90 would be a win.Curious the recommendation on SSR 70-100 pointers? I would like a Jimmy Geppetto contract
That was what I thought also but never hurts if one of the experts confirm.
Curious about this as well. We added on this week at RIV and have a reservation in January 25 that was made with Aug 24 UY points. I banked our Aug 23 UY into 24 when we added on but it won’t let me swap the points. When I try to modify, there is a lock on my original contract which says that contract must be used first. What gives?
that warrants a phone call, I’d want the banked points used for sure, it’s not like you pulled 2025 points into 2024 UY.
Thanks, I will call. First time doing this and was wondering if I was missing something or doing it wrong.
Not really but anything over $120 I didn't bother with. The one I got was listed for $107.
Thank you! got lucky. Welcome to the $80pp club
Both contracts are direct RIV and the reservation is at the RIV. Thanks for the idea though!
