Thank you- MouseOwners is a wealth of information.
It is not a bad deal... however, it is not the best deal compared to some of the ones you see here.

But you have to look at the philosophy of purchasing...if you are buying it to consistently use it for yourself, a few dollars more per point will not make a long term difference. Then there is the time and aggravation looking for these record setting bottom of the barrel deals. Trust me.. it is not easy at all!!

For some large point holders, it is very important that we buy at the absolute bottom, partly because we enjoy the challenge of the hunt but also because we really don't care how fast we get a particular contract.

It takes a lot of time and effort... and substantial aggravation to get some of the deals mentioned here... as well as being in the right place at the right time.

Will you get a better deal if you cancel and look for something else? Probably yes.. but you will have to start the whole process over again... ultimately, how much is your time worth?

As a general rule, someone who can afford to spend $20,000+ for a vacation makes enough money not to have to go through the time and effort to do this whole thing again.

It is not an easy answer.
