Renting dvc points

[coopersmom]

I have never rented points but did look into. For the resort I wanted (Bay Lake Towers), at the time we needed (value), and room category (two-bedroom), it was less expensive per night, based on all the calculators/advice offered on the Dis to use Disney's general public room-only discount to book, and that way we get to reserve with one night deposit, daily housekeeping and direct information with Disney.

Just something to check up front, since I learned that renting points isn't ALWAYS the least expensive villa option.

My experience with renting points was great. WDW treated treated my family as if we were dvc owners when we arrived at our resort. We stayed at BCV. I fell in love but my DD loved AKV most. We stayed their on a 40 percent off room reservation the year before. Renting points at 10 dollars a point was less expensive though.QUOTE]

This exactly. We just stayed at the BCV with a 40% off reservation, and it still would have been cheaper for us to pay $10 per point as a renter. The only reason we didn't was b/c we had Disney Visa dollars to use. Otherwise, I would go with renting every time!

They do now. Amazing, huh.

Serious, when did this happen.

 

[Sammie]

ah, that was true in the past.

but things change...people change...interest rates...fluctuate...

My apologies then, when did this happen. So now there will be two sponsors, David's Rentals and Timeshare Store competing against each other.

Yup and TSS is selling at $12 a point while David's remains at $13... watch for his to come down

We made arrangements to rent points for our WDW trip next May through DVCRentals.com . The cost for the points was $12./pt. We are anxiously planning.
