Points Transfer

[Disneyhappy]

If I am violating any board policy, please remove immidiately but I don't know where else to ask this. It appears that the rent/trade board policy has changed since the last time I needed to post that I was looking for a point transfer. Are there any other forums out there in cyberland where I can post my request since DIS no longer allows it.
Tx!

Per the How the Use in the Rent/Trade board:

DVC-Members can use this board to offer to make reservations for others (normally to non-members), transfer points to/from other DVC members, and trade reservations with members and non-members.

Per the How the Use in the Rent/Trade board:

Thank you for respoding, however, the way I read the rules, I am not allowed to post a "transfer wanted" in the rent/trade board .

Please note that we do not accept "Reservation Wanted" or "Transfer Wanted" threads on the Rent/Trade board.

I want to know if any such forum exists outside of DIS.

There is a Yahoo group called DVCrent where you can post requests. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dvcrent/

While we do not accept Reservation Wanted and Point Transfer Wanted threads, you are certainly welcome to post a reply into an existing Points for Transfer or Points for Rent/Transfer type thread on the Rent/Trade Board.

One reason we do not allow free standing threads is that often those posting them are inexperienced with the process of renting or transferring, and there were some (very few) instances of them being contacted by PM (or by email, if they listed it in the post) by less than scroupulous people. Some of them didn't even own DVC, but were simply trying to scam money from them. Now we request that the person seeking the rental or transfer be the ones to make the initial contact with an owner, via our Rent/Trade forum, and we encourage them to not do business with anyone that they did not contact first.

It is for your own protection monetarily, as well as protecting your privacy.

In fact, the entire quote from the Rent/Trade rules sticky is :

If you would like to rent a reservation at a Disney Vacation Club Resort from a DVC Member:​

Please note that we do not accept "Reservation Wanted" or "Transfer Wanted" threads on the Rent/Trade board. If you would like a rent a reservation, please reply to a DVC Member who has posted a thread offering to make a reservation ("Points for Rent") or offering an existing reservation ("Reservation for Rent"). If you are a DVC Member looking for a transfer of points into your account, please reply to a DVC Member who has posted a thread offering to transfer points ("Points for Transfer").

• If the arrival date is within 7 months, simply reply to any DVC Member who has posted a thread offering to make a reservation or offering an existing reservation. Specify the resort, villa size (Studio, 1BR, 2BR, Grand Villa) and dates of stay for your desired reservation.
  
• If the arrival date is more than 7 months away you will need to rent from someone who is an owner at your desired resort. Reply to those members offering to make a reservation at the same resort where you would like to stay. DVC Members can make reservations at their Home Resort 11 months or less prior to arrival. At 7 months or less, any DVC Member may reserve at any resort, based on availability. Again, the dates and villa size will be required.

Once a reservation is actually made, full names of all occupants will need to be provided.

If you are contacted in any way by someone with an offer to rent, transfer or an existing reservation for rent, other than the original poster of any thread to which you have replied, please contact any of the Rent/Trade Moderators as this violates the terms of use for our site.

There are no minimum posting requirements to respond to a thread in which a DVC Member is offering to rent a reservation or to a thread offering a Point Transfer. Anyone may reply to a thread already posted on the board - as long as they are requesting a reservation in a thread where a member has offered his/her 'Points for rent' . Please do NOT offer to rent your points in someone else's thread. Members may offer to rent reservations to others only in their own rental thread.

But yes, if want to post a thread that you need a transfer or rental, and then wait for multiple, random DVC Owners to contact you, you will need to go elsewhere.
