10 points short, any suggestions?

[spacemonk]

Hi, im new to dvc. Our property at the moment is still in escrow (resale) but should close by the end of the month. We know what we want but we will be 10 points short even after borrowing.

So my question is whats the best way to do this? I guess I need to rent points but should I go through a contracted agent I saw one on the web for $13 a point also I want to book 11 months in advance at AKV so im guessing that I need those transfered points to be from there.

What do I need to tell disney when I do this? What would be my first step? Im sure people do this all the time im just looking for some advice.

Thank you,

I would post it on the rent/trade board. I was 8 points short so I posted over there and was able to find someone who had 8 points they weren't able to use so they transferred them to me at $10 per point. It's very simple problem free transaction.

Good luck

I have received the similiar transaction. They work very smooth. Just completed one today. You are allowed one transfer in or out of your contract per Use Year. They cannot be banked or borrowed points.

Although I'm a big proponent of the $13 per point website you are talking about, he doesn't do transfers. So unless the 10 points you're short will pay for 1 complete night of a room, that website will do you no good.

You'll have to go for the transfer from another member. But remember as someone has already said, each member is only allowed one transfer in/out per use year.

You could also just pay for one night with a cash reservation.

I've seen on the rent/sell board where people have 300 pts to sell and then sell some to one person and some to another - does that count as two transfers? So if I have a big point total (600 pts) and I want to sell it one year do I have to find one person to buy the whole lot or can I sell it to two different people - just at the same time? Also, what if you have two seperate deed for 300 each - does that change the analysis?

Thanks
