DVC T &C Personal Use - Only Thread to Discuss.

If they try to curb rentals swapping with third parties going towards cruises, they would likely also be trying to increase the number of people who trade their points for the cruises directly through Disney. But recent resale buyers can't directly trade for cruises anymore so there really isn't a way for Disney to stop resale members from doing it. If they tried to curb it whatever they would do would likely affect direct members or grandfathered resale members as they are the ones who can actually trade for the cruises directly from Disney

What someone does with their points isn’t really relevant though

It’s all about whether the rental activity one is doing rises to the level DVC sees using membership as a commercial enterprise.

Having said that, my guess is that any owner renting to cover the cost of a cruise isn’t likely renting at levels that shift them into the commercial use bucket.

Yeah, how many pages was the nothing-burger thread about the CFW Trust that was supposed to completely transform DVC?

To be fair, no other new resort has come online yet. We have to wait to see what happens with LSL to know if this was a one time thing or the way forward.

Right, which is why I said that I don't think they would do anything to try and curb it. It's too messy and isn't really what they are trying to stop.

My first post saying how messy it would be was after someone else was saying why they didn't think they would/go after cruises as that seems like personal use to most members. I was just adding another reason why they wouldn't try to go after cruisers, whether direct swappers or third party swappers

And this just supports some of the confusion…as DVCs responsibilities are only to identify owners and enforce the rules based on the level of renting they are doing crossing the threshold from acceptable and not acceptable.

They can’t use the rental market as a whole and make rules based on that…only what an individual owner is doing.
