Any email I send them is sent back with a boiler plate response basically saying we'll reach out to you if your canceled...
tell David’s you want to cancel the DDP To get the refund for that
The first step would be David’s willingness to put the contract aside and ask the owner to make the changes. There’s no harm in asking but David’s is not obliged to agree. There’s nothing in it for him except the goodwill it would buy him.Leaving contracts aside for a moment.
I am pretty sure the owner could call and change the names on the reservation for Yankeesfan123. Just like the owner could cancel it. I think but did not check David will sell existing reservations. This would give dave a double dip. Assuming this is paid for and David is holding the money what is stopping the owner/renter from changing the names? Dave has all he is entitled too he doesn't deserve a double dip.
I hope you still have those gift cards. When DVC refunds the dining plan, the money should go back to the form of payment that was used. The DDP should get canceled when the reservation is canceled by DVC and the refund should be automatically triggered then.That's the part that scares me everything else I can understand it appears to be typical.. My check in date is June 21 at BRV... provided they give me a "credit" also I paid via disney gift cards for the DDP about $2800. I assume my only options are to try and get the DDP credit back first and issue a charge back.
I think the basic argument I’m hearing is that David doesn’t have to... but it would be a nice thing to do with very little effort.
I am kind of suggesting you contact the owner and think about doing it without David. David has no connection into DVC he uses the owner for thatI think the basic argument I’m hearing is that David doesn’t have to... but it would be a nice thing to do with very little effort.
Agreed. Might try that route. My owner has quite a presence on the internet due to his business that accepts donations, so I might try that option once I get a response from David.I am kind of suggesting you contact the owner and think about doing it without David.

I’ve only had my questions on Facebook to David’s deleted lol.I hope you still have those gift cards. When DVC refunds the dining plan, the money should go back to the form of payment that was used.

You can take to Facebook and pose your question directly to David’s there. I think some people are getting results quicker when they ask on social media. Or you may find someone who dealt with this already and they may have an answer for you.

To salvage their vacation they are going to have to settle for staying at a DVC resort while going to Universal and SeaWorldI'm not a renter or owner but I do feel for renters whoa re going to caught in the resort open/parks closed situation and so wish there was something that could be done for them but yeah they are most likely going to be SOL.
Unless I make up that money for him outside of David’s! But this is all hypothetical. Who knows where this will goJust be aware that an owner doing this for you could get him in hot water with his contract with Davids and he may be forfeiting the 30% he is still owed.
Obviously, that is up to him, but giving you background as to what could happen.
Without Davids approval, a contract/name change To new renters could leave him without all his money.
I would call now and see if member services will allow you to switch the banked points now to the July reservation. If you don't ask the answer no.I am a relatively new DVC owner and have a couple of questions regarding rental reservations. We did not have any plans for a Disney trip this year so we rented our points through David's to two different renters. I have not had any contact from David's and have been trying to read through the thread to update myself on the current situation.
The first rental is 6/16/23/20 - 6/23/20. Since this rental starts prior to 6/22/20 DVC should cancel it on 6/9/20 and the points will be returned to my account. I used 63 banked pints to make this rental along with current year points. I have a December use year so I know the banked points will be lost unless a new reservation can be made prior to 11/30/20.
The second rental is 7/6/20 - 7/10/20. I used current year points for this reservation. These renters are from the U.K. and I would assume that they will not be traveling with current travel restrictions in place. Since this reservation is after 6/22/20 DVC will not be canceling it and in order for my points to not go into holding I would need to cancel before 6/6/20. I know I cannot cancel the reservation without hearing from David's or I would be in violation of the contract. Do you think I should contact the renters to ask if they are still planning on taking their trip?
Once my June reservation is canceled could I contact Member Services and ask them to use my 63 banked points for the July reservation to free up 63 current year points? Would that cause a problem for the contract with David's? I know I told David's how many banked points and current year points I had but I do not think they know which reservation used the banked points. I am okay with losing the banked points but I do not want my current year points to go into holding. I would love to be able to cancel the July reservation before the 30 day mark if the renters will not be using it but it sounds like trying to get a response from David's in the next week will be next to impossible.
I do not mind trying to change the reservation dates if that works for the renters but that does not seem to be an option based on what I have read here. I am okay if I loose the 30% I am still owed if I can bank most of my current use year points. This was the first time we rented points out. Since we did not have plans for a trip this year I thought renting the points was a good way to help others have the trip they were dreaming of. I think in the future I will just use the points myself or gift them to friends and family.
Thank you for any answers.

I am shocked. David’s offered to reach out to the owner to rebook if possible OR issue a voucher.Correct, He could always have allowed it, but the contract with owners,,and the reasons owners have booked with him and paid him a decent fee...was so they didn’t have to do anything more once the reservation was made,
In this situation, with so many renters not being able to go, he has taken the hard line, even when owners have said they would reach out to a renter and get them rescheduled.
That is why your situation is so difficult because he hasn’t been very renter or owner friendly since this started.
Maybe you will get lucky and he will be in a different spot and change His current practices!
I am shocked. David’s offered to reach out to the owner to rebook if possible OR issue a voucher.
Even though my dates are in August and the resort and parks will be open.
I’ve been very critical of David’s here. And I’m aware of the downsides of the voucher. But they did not have to do this and could have just kept my money. I am shocked.
There was a report somewhere in the preceding 179 pages that someone did a chargeback and the voucher was taken away, with the mention that if the chargeback was not successful, it (the voucher) would be valid again.
The voucher is an attempt to invalidate chargebacks. They are hoping you accept it since you will forfeit your ability to do a chargeback if you do.I am shocked. David’s offered to reach out to the owner to rebook if possible OR issue a voucher.

I’d have zero chance at a chargeback. Park is open. Hotel is open. No chance.The voucher is an attempt to invalidate chargebacks. They are hoping you accept it since you will forfeit your ability to do a chargeback if you do.
I did remind him I was a frequent renter.... traveling with a nurse and school teacher..Great news! Maybe he has realized taking this approach is much better in the long run for his business. Fingers crossed for you!
