No one rolls in with more pertinent information exactly when you need some reassurance than @AstroBlasters. It’s truly amazing. I was sweating some RoFR stuff the other day and Astroblasters dropped a 500 word reply completely answering all my questions and giving me much needed insight. A true legend.
Fantastic price!! I saw a good SSR contract this morning but it’d already gone. Question on fidelity, do they/can they take it from offer to getting your contract? We’re from the UK and I’m not sure how fidelity work in comparison to the full service from DVCresalemarket
This is our first experience with them, we used www.dvcstore.com for the first contract we bought, but I think all of the major brokers essentially offer the same service. The only difference is commission & fees. Fidelity charges an extra $225 fee that the buyer pays that other brokers don't, but even accounting for that fee their contract listing prices are way way below the other major brokers right now.
I would contend that many on this site would caution that you need to watch your paperwork for accuracy much more carefully if Fidelity is your broker.
This is true, I caught several mistakes in the contract I just signed that I had to have corrected.
Actually this brings up a question I've been worried about: I just finished on two separate SSR contracts, a 100 point contract and a 200 point contract. In both cases I as the buyer am payin the annual dues. On the 200 point contract, I caught that Fidelity made a mistake, they had calculated the SSR dues as 7.68 per point instead of 7.86 per point and I had them correct it. However, the 100 point contract was already sent to Disney, with the annual dues listed as $789 (I guess they mistakenly thought it was $7.89 instead of $7.86). Is the 100 point contract going to get bounced by Disney? It's going to be really aggravating to wait 30-45 days for that to happen becuase i'm going to miss a banking window then and I likely won't be able to use the points as i intended to for an October trip since I'll be well within the 7 month window at that point.
I’m the seller of a 75 point Poly contract in ROFR right now for $150 PP. We bought a direct contract and are using the sale to pay for the direct points. The difference in price per point isn’t as great for small point contracts and the interest would continue to accrue on the direct points by waiting so we just tried to fire sale it. So, I’d definitely offer the $155 and see what they say.
Wow! I wish we would have waited to buy our SSR contract. We got a 200 $123pp contract last February and at that time it was a DEAL! Maybe we should buy more while the getting is good......
No time like the present!
Spend more to save more!
Congratulations! And also, I think you are the first January person I’ve seen pass… I see that ROFR train rolling my way.
Between now and SSR expiration in 2054 you will pay ~$118k in dues using a 5% historical dues growth rate. In that context, $6k isn’t that big of a difference.
But 3850 is such an awkward number......
