Can we rent our points?

[sscoggins]

I have considered renting my points in the past and have been considering again, but I see in our DVC member guidelines that "Use of your membership for commercial purposes is expressly prohibited...". I called member services and they said that the 'renters' could be denied the rental. Any comments on that?

Seems pretty clear that our points are not to be used for commercial purpsoses and I'm pretty sure 'renting' is commercial purposes.

Thoughts? Has anyone had and thing 'bad' happened renting their points?

Renting is allowed.

Commercial is somewhat nebulously defined as 20 transactions per year.

The Home Resort Rules and Regulations specifically says you can make reservations for other and you are allowed to charge them.

3. Making Reservations for Non-Club Members
1) Club Members may use their Home Resort Vacation Points to reserve Vacation Homes that will be occupied by non-Club Members.
2) When a Club Member uses his or her Home Resort Vacation Points to reserve Vacation Homes on behalf of a non-Club Member, and the Club Member does not charge any rental or other fees to the non-Club Member for the reservation, the non-Club Member is eligible for all or some of the Club Member privileges and benefits that a Club Member would normally receive during his or her stay in the reserved Vacation Home. If the non-Club Member is renting, it is the responsibility of the Member to notify Member Services when making the reservation. Member privileges and benefits cannot be extended to non-Club Members who rent Vacation Homes from Club Members.
