Has anyone use dvcreservations.com? They have incredible deals right now but I'm worried it's one of those too good to be true deals.

As an owner, I checked out their website about a year ago. At the time, they wanted access to the owner’s contract number, and sign in credentials. That alone was enough for me, as an owner, to pass them by.

There are a lot of rental agencies and owners that are offering last-minute rentals and distressed points for bargain prices. You might want to look into the more popular brokers or the Rent/Trade Board here on the disboards.

I’ve used them many times with no issues.

It looks like they’re charging like $16.50/point for fall reservations? That’s about 15% off what you’d normally pay for a DVC rental through a broker. I can’t speak to the validity of the site but it doesn’t seem like that crazy of a discount to standard DVC rentals. If you choose to go that route, Make sure you are absolutely 100% buttoned up on the terms of the agreement you’re signing though. Generally DVC rentals are nonrefundable no matter what.

If the resorts close again, you might not get a refund and might only get a voucher. Make sure you are aware of all the issues with renting a reservation through a DVC member. A lot of the brokers may have a hard time getting owners to rent their points in the future with all the garbage that happened. Most will probably just rent them on their own.

If you are looking at some of the nearer rentals, those are probably reservations that other renters decided to cancel. Now to get any money back (since both the resorts and parks are open), they have to have that reservation sold at fire sale costs. If you decide to purchase Cancel for any reason insurance, it might bring the price up to what you would pay booking directly with Disney instead of using DVC points.

I am pretty sure the Unofficial Guide recommends them.
