    Best Price Per Point for AKV

    Please let me know where you've had luck recently purchasing a contract with less than 150 pts at AKV for prices similar to what I'm seeing in the ROFR thread. Most of the resale sites I've been watching are much higher than the contracts passing ROFR and I'm wondering where people are finding...

    Looking at purchasing approximately 100pts at AKV and was wondering if anyone has recent info on any current CM, Disney Visa, or Military discounts. I will call direct myself but just want to have all my ducks in a row! Thanks!!!

    Splitting One Reservation into Two

    I just tried to do this with a very coveted reservation (CL @ AKV) because my vacation got pushed back by two days. I was going to let a friend use the first two nights and I'd keep the rest. Long story short when I went to modify the dates I had another browser set up to immediately grab the...

    Will MS Swap Out Points On A Reservation?

    I don't think it was a glitch as I could have had the same outcome by canceling the reservation and immediately grabbing it back up again as soon as it showed up online, or even booking a completely different resort as long as my travel dates were within 60 days.

    Will MS Swap Out Points On A Reservation?

    My countdown clock rolled over to 60 Days, I used the online option to modify my reservation and basically selected the two nights I already had reserved and once the process was complete it automatically used the points I had in holding. So happy this worked as I don't have another trip...

    Will MS Swap Out Points On A Reservation?

    I don't think they will allow it with no availability. I think the only thing I could do is modify to drop a night and hope I could quick and grab it to rebook with the points in holding. I don't think it's worth the risk though because my luck the website would go down or something and I...

    Thanks, Bobbi - That's the plan!!! All they can do is say "no", right? :)

    Will MS Swap Out Points On A Reservation?

    I'm afraid the only way it would be available is if I cancel the one night and I'm not willing to risk losing the room while on the phone w/MS - so I guess I'm out of luck! :)

    Will MS Swap Out Points On A Reservation?

    I have 14pts in holding and tomorrow will be the 60-day mark for a vacation already booked. Will MS swap points on one of the nights and let me use my points in holding instead? I really want them used, but don't want to risk messing the reservation up either...

    Buying DVC Foreclosures? Current Listings going to auction in March 2019

    Thanks for sharing your purchase details, jrbenji! You definitely don't save money going the foreclosure route and I'm just watching it because I have a certain number of points and use year I'm looking for that is rarely on the resale market - which also means DVD will probably outbid me if it...

    Just Won Bankruptcy Auction for 200 DVC Points at Animal Kingdom

    Just wondering if you had any updates on your purchase. Did it require ROFR? Where there extra charges you were not aware of?

    Buying DVC Foreclosures? Current Listings going to auction in March 2019

    Okay, I feel like I have just enough information to be dangerous...to myself! lol For anyone that was successful with this, how would you decide what to bid? Would you determine a price based on the amount of points, current "assumed" resale value, and then deduct from the total to cover...

    Buying DVC Foreclosures? Current Listings going to auction in March 2019

    I have been intrigued by this for a very long time but need a Buying Foreclosures 101 tutorial! Any suggestions? Also I found a contract I was interested in but its being offered up for sale @ MDK. So would that actually be a bankruptcy vs. foreclosure? How does one go about bidding on a...

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    I'm wondering what would happen if you bought merchandise @ Target with one of their gift cards and then tried to bring it back and exchange for Disney gift cards instead. Wonder if that's a way to circumvent the no gift cards bought with gift cards rule.

    Potentially unpopular opinion regarding point rentals

    I am guilty of making assumptions, but it's because I was shocked at how many sources have popped up offering points for rent...online businesses, multiple FB groups, craigslist, discussion boards, etc. I don't think resorts are being fully booked, but I do feel a good percentage of the guests...

    Potentially unpopular opinion regarding point rentals

    Yes, for friends and family...you get the dates and resort they want to stay at and make a reservation in their name from the get go, you don't make a reservation in your name for various random dates/resorts, sell the reservation for the highest amount you can get, then change the name on the...

    Potentially unpopular opinion regarding point rentals

    I posted similar thoughts on another thread. Thanks to social media and the internet more people are looking to rent points everyday. I have an issue with people that deliberately book highly sought after dates and resorts for the sole purpose of renting to non-members at the highest price...

    Is there a limit to frequency of renting out points?

    Yes, DVC most certainly is for me and has been for the last fourteen years. I understand people have the right to rent their points and I don't have a problem with that, what I do have a problem with is people that make a reservation *before* the points have been rented and snap up every...
