Davids DVC: Rental reimbursement or rescheduling?

That doesnt fill me with much hope of using the points that are due to expire at the end of November

People are changing plans rapidly right now. I cancelled 5 nights in a BWV standard view studio yesterday because one of my brothers bailed out of a family trip scheduled for October. You might just need to be stalking constantly.

If nothing else, those cabins and bungalows are still showing a lot of open nights. Someone might be interested in splurging on a night or two in one of those if the price is right. Who knows?

Try. Another poster has reported that David’s offered them a choice of a voucher or a cash refund minus $3/point if the reservation can be rented out to someone else.

I thought I read all the posts, but suddenly I'm seeing references to a new deal from David's. Can someone explain this or lead me to the referenced post. Thanks.

The OP deleted their post on this thread but they were quoted (because...the rule!) in a subsequent post, so their comments are still visible.

Here’s the subsequent post. You can read their quoted post there. It covers the details.

I’m afraid I haven’t had a chance to read all of the comments on this thread, so apologies if this has already been asked. I am an owner working with David’s. I’ve got rentals booked for people in August (BLT and Aulani) and Sept (AKV). I haven’t had any communication from David’s in relation to these rentals. I imagine he is busy dealing with the ones that have occurred whilst the parks and hotels have been closed. I know that we agreed not to contact the renters directly when we signed the contract. However, as owner I do have the email address of the lead guest for each booking. I am tempted to contact them to see if they want to change the date of their reservation to later in the year (before the points expire on 30 November). Although it would take a bit of time on my part, I’d be more than happy to do it provided I still received the outstanding 30%. If the Renter wanted to change and we did make the change I’m assuming that David would be none the wiser and that I’d still get my 30% on the day the renter was due to check in. Is that correct? Do the renters have to do anything on the day of checking in to trigger the payment? Do they have to email David’s and confirm they have been able to check in or is it automatic?

We had two families rent points from us through David’s. My points have a bank deadline of May 31st. I approached David’s at the end of April and asked him to reach out to my Aug and sept bookings to see if they wanted to change. Both have now changed to January. David’s was quick to reply, promptly dealt with emails to the renting families. They do have an amended contract but it says if anything happens next January they get a voucher. My contract has not changed. I would email David’s asking if he can reach out to your families explaining the deadline of November. Your family from SK May have flights tied up with their booking so that may hinder it. As others have said don’t be tempted to do your own th8ng with the renters, that could make you liable.

Thanks DisneyBB. That’s useful to know.

That is awesome !! A plus plus works out for Owner and renter! Why the heck hasn’t he done this at the beginning ??

I heard from David’s today in regards to my upcoming June renter that will be cancelled - they have been offered a voucher
I was given the option of returning the 70% or renting my returned points
I responded I would rent but under terms of original contract
They replied it would be under terms of original contract and I would receive the additional $1 per point from their price increase
I will get the 30% at checkin
Since my points are 2021 and we can only borrow 50% it may be a year before I can rent them again if they are returned to their original use year
Funny how they never got back to me on my April rental I guess since the points were so small they don’t care

I guess that's a good sign that you're under the terms of the original contract plus getting an extra $1 per point. I guess that all assumes that David's is able to find you a new renter, but it looks like you have a lot of time for David's to be able to find you a renter.

I am encouraged by the various turn arounds i'm seeing reported from David's and their policies...given that they're helping renters and owners find new dates...and accommodating owners with extra money for the troubles.

I was shocked keep in mind I won a chargeback against him

Its good he has decided to take a different stance. Now, let’s wait to hear from all the owners here who did agree to re rent the points and whether they were given that extra $1!

But, it’s a good sign for him and may help turn things somewhat around for his reputation.

I think the larger problem for him..and any broker or owner renting points...is the new reservation systems. Until we see how it works, and if guests are at least guarantees a park..not park of choice...each day of the trip, you may have renters a little shy to take on non refundable contracts.

I’ve kept all my correspondence with him and only do things in writing I didn’t fall if the pumpkin truck yesterday haa haa

I'm not gonna scroll back up to directly thank the person who suggested calling Disney to inquire about getting refund on tickets but seems they have to submit a form and there are certain dates that appear to be getting refunds... If you call... I should hear in a few weeks...

I'm not sure how deciding to do refunds may play into their future park plans or they are just being understanding ??

Also has anyone been successful with a chargeback using Visa? One of our chargebacks was denied and they said visa was denying then all??

I heard from David's today also regarding my June renter. I sent an email with a few questions I need answered so I can make a decision. Hopefully they will respond today. I am not sure whether I should return the 70% or re-rent the points. Part of me wants to return the money and move on but then I will need to do something with my points as we are not planning on a trip to WDW next year.

What was the reason for the denial? They are required to give you a reason in writing why your claim as denied.

My husband called and that's what they told him. Said we could pursue civil suit? I presume they will mail something. Our other chargeback is with MasterCard via Citibank. The visa is a bank of America business card. Just curious if anyone had heard this from a visa...

I wonder if it is because it is a business card? Are there different rules for the,? Doesn’t think it matters though
