I found out when I tried to add a wait list request for another resort for a reservation I made earlier this morning. Nothing was said until I called back and tried to add the wait list. I guess this is a good lesson on why not to rent your points. I've only rented them out 3 or 4 times since becoming a member in 1994.
Thanks

Please be sure and let us know how this is settled.
I have been told by management at DVC resorts that yes the member is responsible if they are not successful in getting the money collected from the guest.
I know some here on the DIS have had similar problems, their accounts were frozen until it was resolved, therefore ultimately since Disney got their money the member was not held responsible.
However I specifically asked during our last stay about what happens, and was told by Resort management:
That the member's account is frozen until it is resolved and that they do everything they can do get the money, be it room charges or damages, from the Guest; but if that fails then it passes to the member.
If that is not accurate per DVC, I would be interested in knowing as I am sure others would too.
DebbieB in that thread you linked to, if you will read what Doc posted in comment #45 that was exactly what I was told at OKW by management. That they have collected before from members.
Now as with Disney each case might be handled differently and hopefully for Jerry, they will help him resolve it; but I have always been told that in the end the member is responsible.
