Point Morphing

[dianeschlicht]

We're relatively new to DVC and I'm glad I found this thread. We were just talking about this subject last night with a friend who owns 150 points at BCV. We have 150 at OKW. We were discussing the possibility of her transferring us BCV points to use for our Dec 2007 anniversary trip so that we could book at the 11 month window. We know that the probability of getting anything at 7 months for the week between Christmas and New Years' is very slim.

In return, she needs to book a 2BR and two studios at OKW for June (which she can't do until November with her own points). So, we would transfer her some OKW points to use to make those reservations now.

We discussed just making reservations for each other using our own points, but then she asked about the possibility of simply transferring our points to each other and then we could make our own reservations. Has anyone ever done this?

Thanks for any help!

You can't do that because, as pointed out, it would be transfering in both directions in a given year, which is not allowed. Instead, you should make your friends ressies at your resort, and they should make your ressies at their resort. Same effect, but not transfers needed.

I think the only FAIR system is to track all points and eliminate point morphing.

With point morphing, there is no reason why someone should pay the inflated annual dues at VB if they can morph lower cost OKW/SSR points and snag a 3 bedroom beachfront cottage at Christmas during the 11 month booking window.

I totally agree!!!

I can't even believe you can do this anyways!

I guess the point morphers are not DIS posters......Hmmm

Actually I suspect most, if not all, ARE DIS members.

You seriously think everybody with small 50 point contracts at 4 sites and one big contract at one site with the expressed intent of getting around the 11/7 window is now just going to step-up and wave their hand.

Come-on steamboat, that's like going to a prison and looking for an admitted felon. You just wont find one, they are all innocent.


BTW I'm just about ready to sell all my electronic devices and jump back into the cave with my flint. I think everyone who thinks accurately tracking points is a technological impossibility, without NASA type funding, is absolutely correct.

Wow....that is a pretty funny post....perhaps the abusers will not post.

Has any "honest" people experienced a morph since August 1, 2006?

Did DVC correct this problem with the new point transfer rule enforcement?
