Yes, one can get up to 12 "getaways" a year and for the cost of a guest certificate, another member can purchase a rental for anyone. But under II rules, they couldn't even reimburse you for the direct costs. Just remember that when DVC uses the word "Member getaway", they are not referring to a rental and thus when a DVC member not familiar with II uses that term, they are also not referring to rentals. I'd love to see even one example of a DVC member who purchased a rental through DVC.Halo said:Yes. I think we'll just have to agree to differ on this. I don't doubt what you say - its just contrary to my experience.
Assuming for one moment however that you are correct - i.e. that DVC does object to its members taking out individual II membership because it does not want them to gain access to Getaways (?) - other II members can book them on their behalf, for an extra £25 cost of a "gift certificate". If any DVC members would like to checkout II Getaways I would be happy to do so on their behalf - just PM me.
I don't think DVC objects to II membership per se, just they are not going to be a party to it. And as such, one cannot trade their weeks within II but outside DVC MS. One CAN trade through Independent exchanges companies including Dial an Exchange Europe. Frankly, I wish DVC would just become a regular member of II, it would be to my and your advantage but not to the minimal user.
