Rented Points - Need Help

[starry_solo]

@jeffjacklin@yahoo.co - have you contacted your owner yet? Points are now good til end of November so give him or her a few choices for vacation dates and rebook!!!

With DVC changing its rules on expiring points, perhaps that will help renters being told "your rented points expired"

Yes, but have you looked at availability for studios (the most popular room category for rentals) pretty slim pickings out there right now.

If you are renting DVC points and don't take insurance then that's the main issue here.
If you were insured then there wouldn't be a problem.

Most insurance policies will not cover time share rentals or Air b and b rentals. I did have travel insurance, but was told it would have been refunded if I booked through Disney, but not through renting from an owner.

This is great to hear RachStu. It is difficult to give the renter back this money when it has been spent (mine on MFs)

I'm hoping the same RachStu. I have a pretty loyal following of renters. I'm hoping that this just helps for future rentals and keeps it easy for me to rent my points. Kills me to hand money over to a middleman when I don't have to.

That's great that you guys are looking after your renters like that, however I don't think you should be the only one's that take the hit in the transaction. I think the best recourse is both the owner and the renter split the loss. Not fair that one side absorbs the whole loss IMO.
