[luvindisneyworld]

I just recieved this email from yahoo groups.

currently have or am an associate on accounts that have 884 points
for rent. I offer a very quick and easy process to get you the
resservation you want.

Full details are available at http://www.dvcRequest.com

Under who's definition. The only indication we've had from DVC was indirect evidence where they said 20 rentals per year was the cut off. The only thing in the POS that would related to volume would be the limit of 2000 per resort and 5000 per member to encourage buying for personal use. It sounds like this is someone who is acting on behalf of several people, likely friends or family members.

 

[luvindisneyworld]

And he wants to act on behalf of other DVCERS if you read it.

I've seen that site before linked on this board. It was well before the 'crack down'. It's pretty obvious they're getting serious about renting now.

I just got the email tonight.So they are still at it.

DVC Owners
It happens to all of us. We end up with extra points. Unfortunately, Disney doesn't have a system in place to help us with our unused points, short of banking them. If you've considered renting your extra points but don't have the extra time it takes to complete a rental, or if you just don't want to take on the responsibility of the rental process, you might consider contacting me about being an associate.

As your associate, here's what I do:

Find the guests to rent your points
Check availabilities for the guest and make reservations
Collect payment for the points rented
Send you top dollar for points rented
Create the rental agreements
Follow up after the guest's stay
Provide solid references

I know I wouldn't make a complete stranger an associate on my account.

I would say he's providing a "service" for people who want to rent our points but don't want to make endless calls to MS. Wonder what his cut is?

And I have a bridge for sale.

Incredible! He thinks people are going to add him to their contracts as associates?????? Who does he think just fell off the turnip truck!

Looks like an interesting way to service the rental market. I wonder what they really mean as an "associate"? I can't imagine too many people who would add the name of a complete stranger to their contract, assuming that can even be done. I wonder if they just have people transfer them points which in turn are rented out on their behalf, thus making them an "associate".

I agree, this would scare the you-know-what out of me.

 

[Caskbill]

DVC is aware of this site.

He has no problem putting in links to enything that helps promote his 'business'.

He use to have a link to my web page also until I added a section about rentals. He then removed his link.

Don't know if the fact he's in Canada has anything to do with things or not.

That is daddio's site. I am not sure if he is on the DIS or on another board I read sometimes. I think he buys a lot of distressed points. In a way that is a service to those that were not proactive with their accounts - he is really helping those folks out. Also He rents for $14 or $15 per point- so at least he isn't underselling anyone or de-valuing DVC points. I have no problem with it.

Also- the 1 transfer rule- is that per contract? He may own several small contracts and transfer.

I just recieved this email from yahoo groups.

I am unfamiliar with this, did they actually send you an email soliciting you?

That takes some -----!

Here is the thing....

If I rent my points to Mr and Mrs Smith of Eugene Alaska and privately collect the funds how is Disney going to know if I rented to them or if they are my parents dear friends from high school. I mean really- they just cannot enforce a rule like that unless they make points for owners use only. I know they cannot do that because of the POS. There is just no way to enforce it.

It's easier to do than you might think, and for those hard cases many are of the type they are less likely to worry about.

That part I know about....just not the email aspect. Did the email come from someone in the group then? Or was it some kind of ad?

 

[Deb & Bill]

It's on the DVCRent Yahoo site. There is also a DVCTalk, WDWTalk and DCLTalk. As well as others. Several members here are also members of these groups.

I'm told it's per member, not per contract.
