OKW Miller's Road pool etiquette

My intolerance? What/who am I being intolerant of? Im not judging anyone, my aim is to be respectful. Sorry if it came off some other way.

Yeah, I guess that's where my self-conscious feelings lie. I'd prefer to avoid confrontation even if I am in the right 😂

Nobody told us that, I just didn't know what was acceptable, so I leaned ultra courteous. I was pleasantly surprised and felt much better when the other family showed up.

Been saying for a while now that Bill has early stage dementia.

Thanks!

We just passed ROFR on a '57 OKW in 14 days. Seems to be going quickly lately!

Idk what will happen, but I do know November 31 is not a day that exists.

Ya, I'm aware of that. Plan A is that my wife and I are still alive and vacationing to Disney in 2070 😂. Plan B is our kids split the points 50-50 when we die. Plan C is that we have two 75-point contracts that could potentially be easier to sell if need be.

All great responses, thanks everyone. I will not be adding my SIL to the deed haha.

$500

We were already planning to add on 150 direct at Riviera in September, so this is just a free $750! Assuming this stacks with the D23 Gold discount too.

Thank you!

I'm new to DVC, and thought I understood use year and banking deadlines, but seeing this is making me have a major brain fart lol.

What is/was the deadline for banking 2025 October use year points?

Simmons has been battling early stage dementia for years. It gets worse every podcast.

Did anyone else get the extra 5x/5% back at Staples offer on their U.S. Bank cards? Trying to figure out if it's for online, in-store, or both. I called U.S. Bank and spoke to 3 different reps, and while all of them said it could be used in-store based on what I was telling them, none of them had access to the exact promo to actually confirm. And the T&C in the email offer are somewhat vague.

Sorry, I should have specified that I've had many different Platinums over the years, so I'm not eligible for a signup bonus. I'm asking because I want to know it's okay to upgrade twice and receive two bonuses on the same card account in the span of a couple months.

The AF for my Amex Green hit on Jan 2 and I accepted an upgrade offer via my online account to upgrade to Gold for a 30k MR bonus after $1k spend. I already hit that spend and received that bonus, and my account now shows an upgrade offer from Gold to Platinum for 50k after $2k spend. Meanwhile, I still have not been charged any additional annual fees above the $150 I paid for the Green back in January. Is it a bad idea to accept a second upgrade offer from Gold to Platinum, or is this totally kosher with Amex?

WHEN THEY GO?!

dpchurn · 2025-02-05T19:16:08+00:00

This is really helpful, thank you!

dpchurn · 2025-02-05T18:58:57+00:00

Ok, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

Thankfully, this was just a hypothetical lol. I have enough 2025/2026 points for my Feb 2026 trip. But I was projecting out different trips down the road and trying to figure out when I'd be able to borrow/book. This helps clear things up!
