I know that owners who rent out points, or transfer points, or owners who make reservations for other people, often have questions. And people who use those points, have questions sometimes. But I don't see an active primary thread for questions directly pertaining to those things, so I will post one here. I hope it is in the right place. I have had other questions but I usually have not wanted to start a new thread. If other people find this thread useful, maybe they will use it, too.
My question concerns changing the Reservation over to someone else. As an owner, if I have a confirmed reservation, and I cannot use it, so I want to shift the reservation to a family member, or if I want to rent the reservation out, how can I change the name of the primary person on the reservation from myself to someone else. The modify button doesn't seem to allow this, for the FIRST listed person on the reservation. So the only option I see is to call Member Services. Is there some other way to do it? Calling Member Services is not necessarily a bad thing, but I would rather do as much as possible myself.
In my particular case right now, I am making reservations for next Fall, 11 months away, for 3 family groups. We will be staying in 3 Studios at Poly. I put all the reservations in my name, and listed some of the other family members as second, third, and fourth persons. Now I would like to shift the entire reservation to them, and take my name off as the Primary. In particular, this is important because in two of the rooms, there will be 5 people, and for them to get Magic Bands, there won't be room for me on the Reservation. Some of them are DVC Members, but in some rooms none of them are DVC Members. What is the best way to go about this? I do also understand that, as the person who made the reservation, I will still be the person who has to handle problems for them, for those who are not DVC Members.
Comments are appreciated.
