Dvc points gift

[RLevy29]

We want to give my sister and brother -in-law 100 points to use for a vacation. How would we go about doing thiis?

You could use some computer software and make a customized gift certificate that has a picture of the DVC properties and whatever else you want to include concerning how many points you are giving them to use etc. You could even go to your local office supply store and buy a gold seal to put on the certificate.

Your only option is to make a reservation in their name using your points. You can place any limitations on the gift you want (number of points, dates, villa type, resort) but points are useless to anyone except the member who controls them in his account.

This is a thoughtful gift - i'd just help them plan how to use the gift and then call MS to make the reservation for them.

Enjoy!

I agree with Doc. Instead of giving a flat 100 points for use in a reservation, it would be best to map out the kinds of stays they can have...ie; which resorts, how many points it would be for a studio, 1 bedroom etc each night and suggest times of the year that will get them the most use for the amount of points you are thinking of. Then tell them you will provide UP TO 100 points for that stay.

I was once given 300 points as a gift. They just told me, and then gave me a vacation planner. I studdied and discovered that I could do one week in a one bedroom for 270 or I could do two weeks in a studio. They made the reservation for me, and that was that. It was a wonderful gift! I even inspired me to buy my own points!

They also gave me access to their website, but they are family and trusting. I don't know if you would want to do that.

Thanks for all of the ideas. They are pretty aware of how DVC works because they almost bought. My sister is going through chemo and is a DW freak (like me!) I thought that this would give them something to look forward to. Would I make the reservations in their name or my name?

You would make the ressie in their name. However, the confirmation will still be sent to you...then you could forward it to them.
