Renting Points from the Timeshare Store

[DisneyStarWisher]

Has anyone rented points directly from the Timeshare Store? How does it work? I may need some extra points next year and thought it might be more economical to rent the points from TTS rather than purchase the one-time-use points from Disney. Any opinions?

I had 25 points transferred into my acct. from TSS. $12 per point.
Give them a call and tell they what you need. I needed 25 AKV points transferred. Jason @ TSS said usually people who are looking to get rid of more points, but he would see what he could do. Within 48 hrs. he was able to find someone willing to transfer 25 points. I used paypal, then I called MS to confirm they were in my acct. It was easy and painless. What's nice about the the points from TSS is that you don't have to wait until 7 month window (like you do for the extra points from Disney) and also, you can purchase more than 24, again unlike Disney!

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I really like the fact that you dont have to wait at 7 months to have additionnal points to use.

I rented points for a July stay because I didn't want to borrow. It was a rental not a transfer. I just e-mailed the timeshare store my info and gave them the dates I wanted with my top three resort choices. They e-mailed me back what wa available. They sent a contract and I faxed it back and sent in a check. it was all very simple and painless. It took only a few days to have everything set. I will definitely do it again in the future. Probably next summer. We are not financially ready to add on more points (and maintenance fees), so this is a great alternative for us.

It also helped that we got expiring points for $8 a point(!!) which I thought was a great price.

I got VB points for spring break transfered to me. With in an hour or 2 of me paying the points were in my acct. I know on the boards you can get the points for less, but I felt dealing with TTS was a safer bet.
