Howdy folks.
I have run across a situation where it seems smarter to book directly through Disney instead of renting points from a member. I feel like I am missing something obvious.
I was contemplating spending a week at Hilton Head with the family over spring break (Dream Season) in a 2BR villa. The point cost would be 277. The going rate on the Rent/Trade board for 250+ pts seems to be around $12 for a total cost of $3,324.
If I book directly through Disney, the total cost (with tax) is $3,379. And this is before applying the 20% discount coupon found in the Brinbaum's travel guide.
The price is very very close, and booking through Disney, you don't have the hassle of not controlling the reservation, communicating with a third party, etc.
Again, this doesn't "feel" right and I think I am missing something obvious.
