We were going to do this over the Easter holiday in 1997, but it turned out that it was far less expensive to book the rooms using an American Express card. We ended up renting the points that we would have used to some friends for $5/point and that money more than covered the cost of two rooms at DLP. This was the one and only time that we've rented our points, and since we used the money for a DLP vacation, I guess you could say that we did afterall use points for our trip.
