DVC Point Transfer Rules

[VGCgroupie]

If you have a large chunk of points you can walk a 4 night reservation for 30 nights to ensure you get the dates you want, some commercial renters have bots but not most of them and thise that don’t need a way to beat the bots. So it’s a win win transferring points, strip contracts by transferring out the points and sell them and then you have a membership that has a ton of points to book your rentals.

Meaning book 30 nights consecutively

Why would you need to book 30 nights consecutively if you only need 4 of them? Unless you only need 4 but you don’t know which 4 nights. But I would find that unlikely, that you only know the month you are going but nothing else.

Just using an example as why some may use a huge chunk of points to walk a reservation. Competitiors walk and have bots. So the more days you can book to pad your desired dates the better. And in some case they may actually want to book 30 nights, the value rooms at AKV or the cheap studios at BWV. Since I didnt make the original comment Im sure Sandi will chime in with what she meant and if I understood what she meant correctly in this explanation.

Im just trying to understand why you would need a large chunk of points unless you need many consecutive days. For walking you doesn’t need that many points.

Not saying that there are a lot of owners who might be doing it but as someone who is in for commercial purposes, you might want to hold a large reservation and not worry about the whole running into a problem.

Let’s say you just keep adding and wait to drop later when you know the exact date you rented..or to not look like you are walking your reservation. Some of the suggestions here have suggested things like you can’t drop until you get to X days out.

The more points one has in a membership the more flexibility they have to hold lots of rooms for longer dates until the secure the rental.

For example, maybe the hold a 2 week or 3 week reservation and have to for someone looking for 10 days within that timeframe.

Limiting transfers between same owners makes it hard for those who may have used it to their advantage to rent or walk.
