[DVCOwner]

Found this information on DVCNews

Beginning April 15, Disney Vacation Club is offering a new alternative to members borrowing vacation points from a future use year. Instead, members can obtain one-time-use vacation points for a fee of $15 per vacation point.

Disney Vacation Club members can obtain a maximum of 24 one-time-use vacation points once per use year, per membership. These one-time-use vacation points can be used to book stays at Disney Vacation Club Resorts, as well as vacations through the Disney Collection, Adventurer Collection and World Passport Collection.

Members interested in learning more about one-time-use vacation points can contact Disney Vacation Club Member Services or visit www.dvcmember.com.

New option offers alternative to borrowing vacation points

Disney Vacation Club® has created a convenient new solution for Members who find themselves in need of additional vacation points to book a reservation.

This new option, designed as an alternative to borrowing from next year's allotment, allows Members the option of paying for a one-time assignment of as many as 24 vacation points from Disney Vacation Development, Inc., for $15 a vacation point ($13.33 plus $1.67 tax) to complete their reservation. (A receipt is available upon request.)

Members may use these vacation points to book Disney Vacation Club Resorts, Disney Collection Resorts, Disney Cruise Line® voyages, Adventures by Disney experiences and World Passport Collection resorts.

Note that this option is available once each use year, and the transferred vacation points are assigned only for the specific use year and therefore expire when used.




Details:

• One-time-use vacation points are vacation points available for Disney Vacation Club Members to use as an alternative to borrowing vacation points from the following use year's allotment.

I know that you may want to reconsider the fact you just gotten burnt in the deal. I know how hard it is to get a check or money order for 15 bux or something like that. It appears the woman has issues when it comes to taking care of business. there are reasons why things do happen like this okay. Please do not take this lightly, I have been there and done the same thing. Except I lent the music cd, and the lady jumped up to my nose. I almost messed my pants.

The only thing that I do not understand is that if someone is willing to pay $15.00 per point, why DVC is limiting it to 25 points. At that price I think they could a large profit of any points that are used outside DVC.

The minimum add on is 25 points. Maybe they figure if you need more than 25 points you should just add on. They don't want to take away from add on sales. :shrug:

Heh, individual DVC owners aren't supposed to profit from their membership by continuously renting out points or booking rooms and then auctioning them off...maybe management of DVC decided only allowing that small number of points would make it seem like they're not profiting from it either. :shrug:

Regardless, it's a new idea, if it proves popular - but with people openly saying they'd get more points this way if they could - they'll up the maximum amount of points you can rent out.

None of his posts really make sense. It's either nonsense like this or bare-bones what-everybody-knows statements that add nothing to any discussion. He's being a yutz. As long as he's not attacking anyone, just ignore him.
