Cruise and renting points?

[Luvdisney]

Okay, after reading these boards I've come to the conclusion that I would be better off to rent out my points and pay cash for the cruise. I'm new to renting out points. How should I go about this. I will need to use my June 04 allotments and my June 05 allotments in order to have enough cash at $10.00 ppt. What's the best way to handle this. Should I book a room during a busy time or just offer my points and have them tell me what they want. How do you handle the money transaction? Should the renter pay the total amount for the points or just a deposit and pay the full balance 30 days prior to check in? If it's a DVC member do you just transfer the points and they handle the ressie? I'm thinking this would be better. I would want the full payment prior to the transfer though or is that not the norm? Sorry for all the questions and I'm sure they've been asked before, but the search is turned off.

i would think just offering your points for rent and adding to your post that these points are transferable, you would have these rented quickly and give yourself enough time to make your own cruise ressies.



but if you make the ressies i would ask for the cash right away the whole amount up front and you will then send the conf. letter,
that has always work for me, and explain if they have to cancel after the 31 day to arrival, that you cant give a refund unless you can rent the ressies out to someone else. or if they cancel before the 31 days to arrival , offer to change the dates.



but i would try to transfer to another member you that way you wont have to worry about a cancelation of ressies.
good luck
