DVC Point Transfer Rules

[MyDogTink]

These are now the people that are in the market for small contracts new name for each one. I can see why DVC implemented the $500 fee.

I also just saw an ad for transferred points, comparing it renting with a broker.

I’m confused. Can you explain in more detail?

Up thread it was posted that there is a company advertising on Facebook that they you will pay you to transfer your points to them. Others said but how could this work when the rule is one transfer per membership.

Just want to clarify and I will update the main post. If I banked and borrowed points and transferred them all at once is that considered only once for the current UY or will it be considered once for this UY and once for the following UY too?

I believe it only counts as a transfer in the use year you transfer. You change the use year of points when banking/borrowing (like banking 2025 or borrowing 2027 points into the 2026 use year) then a transfer of any/all of those normal/banked/borrowed points in currently in your 2026 use year would count as your single transfer in your 2026 use year

Hey gurus. Quick Question. If I received transferred points from another member that were a June UY, and I personally own an Oct UY at a completely different resort, and I wanted to book one 5-night stay with all points combined, is this possible? Or because some of the points exist in a June UY, would I have to have Member Services book me 2-nights with the June UY, and then subsequently book 3-nights with my Oct UY?

They add them together in the same membership so they can be used together to book at 7 months. Just make a note for yourself which points it uses and when they expire since it will be using points from 2 different use years with different expiration months. Just in case plans change so you can remind yourself and not let any points expire

Nothing mentioned changes the following rules: (a) a member can do only one transfer per use year, in or out but not both; (b) a member cannot transfer points for compensation; (c) the only person or entity a member can transfer points to is another DVC member.

Thus, I cannot figure out a way that any "company" can legally, or practicably, be in the business of purchasing multiple transfers of points. That was actually an issue in the early 2,000's when a member could do an unlimited number of transfers per use year, in or out but not not both, and a number of members were actually in the business of purchasing transfered points and making reservations using them. DVC reverted back to the single transfer rule that existed when DVC was created to prevent that activity.

They own hundreds of contracts that’s how they do it. Getting money for it is against the rules yes but seems that hardly anyone takes that rule seriously especially these large entities.

I would be curious to see how their dashboards look. I wonder if they have 20-30 UY’s and maybe like 350-550 reservations they are selling

Number of contracts doesn’t matter…it’s number of memberships.

My guess is that this is a group of owners vs just one.

Doesn’t change what they are doing but remember, even if DVC looks the other way when it comes to people getting paid, they can stop someone from booking with transferred points if then deem they were gotten for a commercial reason.

I should've said memberships not contracts.

It is easy for one person to have many memberships: Title each one in a different LLC.

Except the know track that too if someone’s name is on it in someway.

But, again, if they are different LLCs I consider that different owners because they create new memberships.
