Points transfers and no renters calling MS

[CarolMN]

There is one situation where the changes will have an adverse effect on some members, but as has been noted it's not really a change. It's really just a renewal of enforcement of a rule that has been there for quite some time -- the one transfer per use year rule.

The negative impact will be on members who want to do large family gatherings and would like to transfer a large number of points into their account for that purpose. They will not be able to do multiple small transfers; they'll have to do one big one. If they can't find someone with enough points to transfer, they'll have to go to Plan B.

I don't know how many members that affects, but I know if affects some.

And Plan B can be renting one or more reservation days from other members. Anyone can rent reservations and get them linked together. It may not be as convenient as getting points transferred into your account, but it is very doable.

IMHO, DVC owners as a whole (especially the owners of the smaller on site DVC resorts) are better off now than they were before the recent changes were made.

Best wishes -

Wouldn't be the first time!!

I was just wondering if anyone asked. I was under the impression that they began enforcing this in order to cut down on the sale of DVC points as a business. I have read a lot of threads on here with people discussing it, but would be interested to hear the results of someone actually requesting such a thing.

From what I know there have been requests on at least two occasions and no exception was made. I think the real question is what will happen with multiple contracts of a single owner, an area where significant latitude was present previously.

As for renting, the rules have changed a little. IMO, those still willing to rent can do better than before in terms of price and overall will have a larger group to rent to with less competition.

Oh, don't mind Diane. She's just been dying to use that "dead horse" image for months now!

Personally, I like this one better:

Or maybe this one:

How come Doc doesn't add those dead horses to our choice of smilies? Would it be used too much????
