As a DVC owner, at times I’ve needed extra points for family reunions or special occasions. Rather than renting points, I prefer transfer points, because though I never see them appear in my account, I can call MS, book the reservation I want and then that shows on my dashboard. A rented reservation never does, it stays with that owner. You’re only allowed one transfer per use year, per contract, so typically for a transfer you would pick up all of the points an owner is getting rid of, rather than when renting it’s only the exact amount of points needed for the reservation. I can cancel or modify the reservation, something I’m unable to do with rented points. Rented points are entirely controlled by the owner, not the renter.
