I did it! I rented point from a DVC member!!

I'm excited and nervous at the same time!! I was waiting for any codes to come out for January 2008, but I decided to check out the rent/trade board on the DIS and wound up getting BW 2 bedroom villa! I really wanted AKL or WL but they are booked up. I can't wait to go!

Has anyone else rented points and tell me your experience!!

I rented points from a DVC member last year and stayed a BWV (but in a studio) you will not be disappointed!!!

We've rented points twice and both times it worked out great. I think that as long as you do a little research on the person that you are renting from (past renters, posts, etc.) and follow the guidelines on the DIS that it will work out great.

This person happens to be a Disney travel agent, sent me 3 referral e-mails and said she has repeat customers that she has to turn down.

I think it will be a great new experience and hopefully one that I can repeat in a few years for our next trip!

If you dont mind, how much was it a point, and how many points did you need for your room type/stay?

Never put much thought in to renting DVC but if i was going with out getting free dining, would love to get a great deal on a great room!

Not sure how much OP paid but usually points are about $10/point. Each resort needs different point depending on the day/time of yr/room type. Give me an example and I can look it up for you.
