Hi, DisneyNic...
Yup, I'm still here, and Stacey & I still swap holiday cards each year (she & her family bought DVC shortly after this experience)...since this "sad story," I've had four very positive renting experiences--two on each side of the transaction (had insufficient points of my own twice, so once I rented points for a reservation, and another time did a points transfer, both with the same really wonderful owner who I found here on the Dis; and twice when someone I "knew" (in the cyber sense!) here on the Dis needed points and I had a few extras...of course, the days of having extra points are long gone--I've added on four times, and am currently half way through 2013 points (borrowing)...Disney and DVC are addictive!
I've long since gotten over this "sad tale" and have enjoyed going on 7 years now of DVC ownership and WDW trips...
Good luck to you as you explore your options...Dani
