Transferring points question....

[anbouk]

If one falls short of DVC points, I know there are several options. If I wish for another DVC'r to transfer points to my account,, for an agreed upon fee, of course, I understand $10 per point is the norm, must I find a member with the same UY as my contract? Just wondering TIA!

Transfered points retain their original UY and resort status. Transferring points for money is against DVC rules.

Interesting....I happened to read another thread on the board and a DVC member mentions she had done this...paid for a transfer hmmm. I just didn't want to highjack the thread and thought this just didn't sound right!
Thanks for clarifying. I'm really learning a lot!

Adding: This thread which I read is under DVC Planning "Can I buy 7-10 pts if short'.....read the replies on this. Apparently in the end Moderator CarolAnn closed the thread as it was 'old'.

Just because something is against the rules, doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.

Exactly. Like commercial renting of DVC.

Personally, I'd rather transfer points (or get a transfer of points) for $ dealing with a fellow DVC member than do any kind of rental transaction with a non-member.

NOT good!....... I like to follow rules

Don't worry about it. Until they give us two transfers per year, which would actually allow DVC'rs to TRADE points, we don't have much choice.
