Favorite Week VS Small Contract

Not to derail the thread, but what is the current thinking on renting a FW? I this a no-no?

I don’t think it would matter? I have not heard of any kind of red tape, but I am going to request the FW document so I can read through it. I doubt if there is any special renting language.

Yes, I wasn't saying against the rules per se, but I know renting out reservations is looked at differently from renting points, and renting out a FW seems like another step further into the gray zone.

It would fall under the standard rental view for Disney. For the general population however, I think some people would be grumpy about others renting out hard to get weeks (December), even if it's your FW.

As an owner, you are paying a higher point premium for the FW use, so I'm wondering how that would translate to rentals. Because the FW is (normally) 10% more points, would an owner or broker calculate the rental on the published regular point chart or the higher FW amount?

Yeah, good question

For example, one week at CCV in a 1 bed is 237 points in mid December. Or 261 points with a FW. That is a 24 point difference or possibly about $480.

I am the grumpiest of the grumpy people about renting out confirmed hard to get times. I see FW completely different and I think renting it when needed is fine. Commercial entities with bots etc dont plop down all that $$ for a FW so thats why it's rare to ever see it rented.

If using 261 points, but only getting rental payment for 237 points, that is a poor deal for the owner. I don't see myself ever renting out my FW due to that. It's for MY enjoyment and my convenience.

I think the broker just rents based off the current point value. They dont know it's a FW you are renting unless you tell them it's a FW.
