My contract was accepted a couple days after I heard about the changes, and there were still some lower priced contracts out there. As I saw the prices go up, i kept getting more and more nervous! I think I was just one of the very lucky ones. Who knows what the reasoning is, it seems like it's highly variable!! When the new prices came out, I knew I would never be able to buy BLT direct.
On a different note, best of luck to those waiting, after my 27 days, I can't imagine still having to wait! I was SO on pins and needles as the ones around my date came in! Hang in there!
For those who lost their contracts, my heart breaks for you!! Looks like a lot of people are getting right back in there and finding another contract, hopefully this is an option for you!
