Are SSR points really going above $95pp now?!?!?
Well I just bought the 25 points direct. I was actually very impressed with the agent.
I wouldn't have bought 25 points for benefits, I had no intention, having secured my 160 points resale at a fabulous price in January.
However, I realised based on my booking pattern of once every 2 years in a 1 bed for a week to 10 days, that I was potentially about 50 points a time light on points to open up everything with very minimal borrowing.
I looked at 25 point contracts but struggled to find any. I saw some 30 to 50 ones but even Timeshare Store were advertising at $125 a pop with sale pending.
So totally against expectations, I got 25 direct.
Very impressed with agent. Points were 145 a piece but closing only 104 (so maybe saved $400 there?) and of course I got 2017 bankable (Feb use year).
As an added benefit I'm now a blue card holder.
Whilst I'd still never buy a full contract direct unless I absolutely had to have a new resort, if you want a tiny contract add on, it seems the only way to go now. At least DVD make it a good experience.
any OKW you buy direct from Disney now expire 2057Will these OKW points expire in 2057?
Hi, I bought Saratoga points. Any OKW points you buy direct are extended I understand so 2057. So a good reason to buy a small OKW contract direct.any OKW you buy direct from Disney now expire 2057
Amazing price! If mine passes it will be pretty darn cheap! Chances are probably not good.I wish I would bought more points in 2013 when I purchased mine resale. I paid $49 per point at SSR. Prices will come down when the economy cools off or there's a stock market correction.
Saw two SSR today a 26 and 33 point both of them at $125 a point after adding closing costs it comes to $149 which is more then buying direct from disney
Yup. When I tried to make an offer on those a few weeks ago, it wasnt even countered. They only wanted full asking. I asked the broker how it made sense (hard to earn commission when I can't figure out who would pay more than direct) but no straight answer. I gave up completely on that company. Not worth the effort.
It wouldn't surprise me if Disney raise prices on SSR soon.
That wouldn't surprise me at all, either, but it still does not explain why someone would pay more than direct sales asking price for a contract right now. It's almost like there are some resale buyers unaware that they can add on small amounts direct, or something goofy like that.
One of the companies has a 75 point AKL contract for $150/pt. December use year with only 10 points coming for 2017.
