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

Are you currently a DVC member? Because I think you can always add on small amounts if you’re already a DVC member. The discrepancy has been what’s the min to add on as a new member. Some say 125 but a few ppl said they were told different. But last time I asked my guide I can add min of 25 points at most resorts if I pay cash.

Yes, I am. I had bought resale already. I was going to add on direct but my resale contract came through so we never did it. Should I remind him that I am already a DVC member?

Ya mention you’re a current DVC member. Unless something really new just happened but I can’t imagine them making current DVC members buy large amount points direct if say they just need a few more points a year.

Great to see passes for contracts sent 3/15. I hopefully won’t be far off mine

We are already direct AKV members, but we finally got the stomach to jump on the resale rollercoaster. This one can't close until July if it does pass, so fingers crossed for a smooth ride.

Too June heavy at the cost of not completing the set with March and August UY contracts. Rookie mistake.

Right?!?
We got our closing paperwork 2 days after we passed ROFR!!

Me too! I almost thought it was an April Fool’s joke!

Addonitis is a thing, and I was warned. Clearly, I was not listening. Edited to add that I tried to add on 75 points direct and they will not even allow you to add on small amounts anymore. The minimum you can buy from Disney direct is 125. Just....wow. So I went resale again to commiserate with my fellow ROFR villains.

There were some crossed wires in that conversation. If you're already an existing member you can add on contracts as small as 25 pts at most locations. 50 pt minimum at RIV and maybe one or two others. 125 points is the amount to get perks and benefits if you don't already have them.

 

[MegMoves]

Ours went that day, too. Here's hoping we pass ROFR and get points to play with quickly!

Thank you so much. I will remind him that I am already a DVC member

So if you find out you can add 75 direct, will you keep or rescind your resale contract?

I wonder if adding on in small amounts is now a Blue Card Perk. In other words, you can't do a small add-on to a resale contract, but you can do small add-ons if you already have a blue card. Alternatively, it is a miscommunication as the others have said.

Fair point - I dont look for use year though. For me its all about the free points so I only want loaded contracts

You should be fine with that one. Wish you all the luck

 

[mollys_aunt]

We're they referencing estoppel? Not exactly a waiver but a verification.

I did a little digging and they were referencing estoppel. Thanks for that info. I forgot about all the little nuances of purchasing resale.

Our BRV just passed at $104 for 150 so you would think you would be ok. We have 119 coming in 21/ but that shouldn't matter.

Congrats on getting a full AKV contract, so few about. I saw it was quickly taken! Think you should be ok at this price.
Still waiting on our $108 160 point AKV contract.

I haven’t followed pricing since buying resale AKV in October 2019. I’ve been browsing because I would like to pick up a HH resale.

My AKV was $102 pp, 220 points. What in the world has happened with prices since, and why is Disney buying them back?? What did I miss?

Definitely a crazy SELLER'S market right now - I'm kicking myself that we didn't buy more during the shut down!
