Where To Inquire About Point Transfers

[Disneyhappy]

I hope I am not violating DIS policy by posting this. If so please let me know ASAP.

I know that we can't post requests soliciting for point transfers on the DIS. Are there any other places that will allow posting or advertising on the internet that I am looking for a point transfer. I just think it may be easier as my schedule doesn't allow me to constantly check here. The points are always gone by the time I have a chance to check.

You can post a request for a transfer on the DVC Rent/Trade Board in any thread where a member is offering to transfer. There are currently three such offers on the board at this time and many of the other threads offering to rent might be able/interested in making a transfer.

If you are looking for 24 or fewer points, you can purchase One-Time-Use-Points though MS at $15 per point. This may be done once each Use Year to complete a reservation being made at 7 months. If you are looking for only a small number of points many are hesitant to use their "once-per-Use Year" transfer, so you can consider getting a larger transfer and banking any you won't need into the next Use Year. I believe the Timeshare Store has been able to assist some with transfers.

Good luck!

Not looking to start a debate or hijack the thread, I'm just curious as to the reasoning behind why those who are in need of transfer points can't post such a request. Thanks.

Probably more info than you wanted, but....

It is for the protection of new/inexperienced DVC Members. A few years ago there were scammers trolling the boards replying to people wanting reservations and transfers, they'd say all the right things and have a cheaper price and took a couple people for their funds. If I remember correctly, at least one went to court.

Now we require that people seeking reservations and transfers reply directly into a thread offering those services and STRONGLY suggest that they only do business with someone whom with the renter or person receiving the the transfer made first contact. We also request that anyone receiving a PM offering points and transfers from a party that they did not contact report that PM. Another suggestion is that they check the owners posting history using the search function to get an overall impression of the person. If they are new to the boards it doesn't necessarily mean they would be bad owner to deal with at all, but renting has a comfort level, and the posting history gives many a higher comfort level.

We also made it a requirement that you have to be logged into the DIS to see the Rent/Trade Board.

And too, we felt that those owners using the board to profit from the rental should contribute to the boards. Many times we saw owners only posting on the Rent/Trade Board, but never participating in any other board threads. Thus, now owners who meet our posting criteria over the previous 6 month period may use the board for no charge, people who do not meet the criteria have the option of supporting the DIS community through a R/T Board membership fee.
