Rented some points at Poly

[deeevo]

I rented some points at Poly for the first time for 2 nights and the way it is setup was 2 confirmation numbers so 2 one night
stays. One night is Standard view and the other is lake view. Question I have is can or will they put me in one room for both nights
so I don't have to move and do you think they would give me a lake view for both nights if I asked nicely? Just wondering

The chances of that happening are slim to none. DVC upgrades, in my experience, are far more rare than cash room upgrades. If both nights were the same view I could possibly see it happening but since they are different point values its less likely to happen.

Ok, moving rooms is no big deal. I don't want to give up my lake view room on my 2nd night.

Ask if you can be in Moorea for both nights. It may just be move across the hall.

Please don’t ask for an upgrade. What may happen is they charge the owner the “cost” in points by just taking them or borrowing them. Not only would you have to pay for those afterwards, but that could seriously mess up the owner’s plans for their next trip, leaving them short.

CMs shouldn’t really do that, imo, unless they are dealing with the owner - but it has been known to happen. They just assume you have the owner’s permission.

Yes, don't ask for an upgrade. It might mess with the owner's points. DVC upgrades are rare. 1 in almost 15 years for me. You never know, but don't ask and don't count on it.

I also would ask for Moorea. Though really Tokelau and Pago Pago are both really close to Moorea.

You'd have better luck downgrading to Standard both nights, though I certainly understand why you wouldn't want to do that.

 

[deeevo]

I wont ask for an upgrade. Never have and never will. Thanks for the tip on Moorea. I will ask.

How was your stay using my points Scott?

At Poly, the Standard view is fine, if you ask for Tokelau or Moorea. Also, ask for a high floor. The 'Preferred' view is the Lake View, and I really don't find it to be worth the extra points. Yes, you should ask them to downgrade you to a Standard unit for both nights, and ask them not to move you.

The OPs trip already happened.

That said the two views at Polynesian DVC are Lake View and Standard. They don't have "preferred" there. I don't think it is also possible to ask for a change of room type at check in. It likely isn't going to be possible, and if it is, it could mess with points and such.
