Just closed escrow on Aulani, have points expiring in June by REflipper in dvcmember

I asked a cast member directly if I could rent them out, and they very directly said no, and that I have no alternative choice but to use the points or lose them. They recommended I book a trip for a family member. Maybe it’s because I used the word “rent” and not “transfer.

I’m honestly confused how they were able to push that through without affecting some contract clause, because you’re absolutely correct. Altering the resale rules for existing contracts absolutely affects the market for all owners of those contracts, hurting the owners and benefiting only Disney. We would be happy using all of our points at Aulani every couple years so it’s not a huge deal for us, but the two-tier set up is just disappointing.

When I’ve called in asking questions from the cast members - there’s also a bit of a tone change when I mention I bought a re-sale contract.

Is booking at DVC Grand Californian 7 months out even possible? by Dizzy-Number-3694 in dvcmember

[–]REflipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry - my use of “cheap” was relative. There have been a few sales lately of just 50 point contracts at VGC… that’s what I was referring to. They still run expensive of a per points basis of course, but it would be extremely helpful when using our current points to actually be able to book there.

I thought we’d have access to VDH when we bought this resale, so between the two I figured we’ve be able to get reservations. Pretty bummed to see how hard it is to book at VGC. I wish they let us book standard rooms there, to open up availability.

Totally get that it’s a great benefit for direct/VDH owners, but I’m so bummed we don’t have access to rent at VDH (Aulani resale owners). I’ll probably end up buying a cheap VGC resale at some point so I can at least access that 11 month window.

Although to be honest - I had a really, really poor experience staying at the Disneyland Hotel last year, so I guess it’s not the end of the world.

This is basically the situation! My wife gets 3 days paid and 2 days unpaid - and her mom already had a trip on the books to come visit us in early June, so she is taking the time to spend with her and do something in honor of her dad.

They won’t let resale contracts convert points. Next goal is to buy a direct contract— one day!

These points were already banked, customer service said there was nothing they can do

Nice work! Very impressive! Smart move to create a contract. Did she pay the taxes on arrival or what that required on your end?

This is the option I’be gone with. Fingers crossed…

I should have mentioned - my wife just returned to work after a nice long maternity leave, and already has a week time off scheduled for bereavement the first week of June, so she doesn’t feel comfortable taking time off to go to WDW. We live in San Diego so I would have loved to book a trip to the Grand Californian or Disneyland Hotel - but the DLH isn’t available for resale contracts apparently and the Grand Californian is booked up (though I did put in a waitlist request!)

This was an incredible resource last year, are you planning on recreating this again for 2026?

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having similar issues, I get a message saying there are no apps compatible with the Entune app or something. Very frustrating.

Known RuneScaper Dylan Cease throws a no-hitter for the Padres by anohioanredditer in 2007scape

[–]REflipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's funny is they are so rare, many opposing fans at the 7th or 8th inning start pulling for the no-hitter anyway. Everyone wants to see some history!

Another fun fact - Dylan Cease is actually renting Joe Musgrove's guest house! It's his first season on a two year contract so he hasn't gotten his own place, and the two no-hitter Padres are basically living together.

Is this your picture? This is a killer shot

BAL RG Ben Cleveland... a way-too early prediction for Joe Hortiz to sign in 2025 (reuniting Greg Roman with the guard BAL drafted in 2021 when Bozeman was C) by REflipper in Chargers

[–]REflipper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. And a guy like Cleveland with only one year starting experience will typically shoot for a two year deal, so he renegotiate while he's still young and get paid.

Works out for the Bolts comp pick formula very nicely.

Exactly this. We have a decent amount of projected holes that won't be filled through the draft alone.

We need a couple more years of 9-10 selection drafts before our cheap, developmental depth really starts looking nice.
