How does this work?

[melk]

We have a 1-br at VWL booked for a week in October. But we think we will switch to a 2-br because it looks like my MIL will be going. A week for a 2-BR is 282 points. We only have 264 points available, so we would have to rent 18 points from another member. Do I call Member services and book 6 days with the points I have? Then how do I make the ressie for the remaining night with my remaining points plus 18 rented points? The only thing I recall reading about is how if you rent points from another member, that member makes the reservation for you. But what in a case like this where it would be a mixture of points? Thanks! (hope this made sense!)

Can't you just borrow points from your next year? That's infinitely easier than renting/transferring points from another member.

 

[melk]

No, my 264available points include borrowing my 200 points from next year.

How about just staying the 6 days instead of 7?

but yes - you need someone who could and would transfer their points to you - but because of the rule about only once a year - this might be difficult.

but post on the rental/trade board and see.

You can have another member transfer the need points to your DVC account in exchange for the rental fee. Then you will just make the reservation like normal.

The person you rent from will just call MS have have his/her points transferred to the account you tell them. I like this method as it is safer than a rental.

I believe the one transfer a year rule has been amended to limit you to one type of transfer a year (either in or out)

If you can't find someone to transfer, you would have to rent the total number of points you need for the last night and they would have to make the reservation for you for that night and link the reservation #'s.

Couldnt you just pay cash for the 7th night and link them. If the 7th night is a Fri or Sat it might be cheaper anyway. Just another idea.

I'd pay cash for a weekend night and have the reservations linked.

 

[melk]

Anyone know how much a weekend night for a 2-br is?
