One always hopes! I was notified immediately by phone on my first resale. I was notified within a day by email on my second. On my third (current), I found out a week after, when I called the listing agent to inquire. So there is apparently not a repeatable protocol. (All 3 contracts were with same broker, same title company, different agents)
Thank for the explanation. Can you borrow 2021 points and keep the 2020 points banked?
No, I considered it but didn’t buy it! I thought that price was unreasonable and severely overestimated the contract’s value. Someone else on these boards mentioned this contract, and I believe the seller was also unwilling to negotiate. With the average Aulani price still surprisingly high at $120, it would have taken 13 years to pay for the additional cost and start taking advantage of the savings on the reduced dues. Too long! That said, it looks like someone did ultimately buy it.
yeah, I offered $135 thinking I was being generous but was turned down, no counter or anything. I'm glad I didn't buy it either. I was just curious how much it ended up selling for.
Me too!
I have an AKV Oct UY and 3 OKW Mar UY. I've been looking for 2 months to add on. Nothing I will buy at the moment. When I started this last July, it was full every which way!
I know! I couldn’t find any Copper Creek March UY contracts out there, so actually bought direct. Ugh!
What are the most common/least common UY (other than the months without UY)?
I too have a direct CCV contract with March UY. I didn't know it at the time, its significance. But my birthday is also in March, so getting these points is like a birthday present every year, all the way until 2068 when I'll be 91 years old!
Dec and Feb are the two most common UYs
Serious dough there. One of my OKW is a direct for the blue card last year. My favorite is my AKV. It was $100 a point. I was FINE with any use year as I didn't know what the heck that meant. I bought 4 contracts back to back and three weeks ago was my FIRST STAY in a deluxe ever! I used the pts for Grand Floridian, Bay Lake Tower, and Riviera. We did a 3 split stay every 3 nights.
I'' be 97. We can put the strobe lights on our wheelchairs and bomp our horns at people to let us pass. BAHAHA! My first trip to Disney was when I was 40. Actually, it was my first trip EVER! I fell in love with relaxation.
I will be in my 90s then too, slowly meandering the lovely grounds of WL!
They might be being a bit lenient still because sellers need to get theirs notarized and some places still require appointments for that due to the pandemic.
Ah, I didn’t think about that...
LOL you’re not kidding! I got stressed reading this. You literally got 4 months total where you can book freely of all your points without worrying about banking and cancellations. But I know you will make it work for you! More points is always a good thing!
This is from a few years ago so I'm not sure if it's still accurate. https://www.dvcnews.com/dvc-program...ear-distribution-charts-updated-february-2018
