"Renting" directly from Disney

[TedraL00]

My family and I went to Disney World last June and I am almost sure I read something that said you could rent points from Disney for up to 20 points. Is this true? We are planning a last minute trip for April because my husband is deploying again and the 20 points would help with our stay. Thank you in advance.

You can purchase up to 24 one-time-use points at $15/point. Details from dvcmember.com:

As a Disney Vacation Club Member, occasionally you may find yourself in need of just few extra vacation points in order to book that perfect dream vacation. Previously, this required borrowing vacation points from a future use year, but very recently a new alternative was introduced. They're called "one-time-use" vacation points and are available for a fee of $15 ($13.33 plus $1.67 tax) per vacation point. Availability of one-time-use vacation points may be limited or suspended from time to time, and the fee is subject to change.

Details:

• One-time-use vacation points are vacation points available for Disney Vacation Club Members to use as an alternative to borrowing vacation points from the following use year's allotment.
  
• You can obtain a maximum of 24 one-time-use vacation points once per use year per membership.
  
• A maximum of 24 one-time-use vacation points are processed in a single transaction, not multiple transactions.
  
• The fee for one-time-use vacation points is $15 (including tax) per vacation point, and is subject to change.
  
• One-time-use vacation points expire according to the use year of the reservation booked and are non-refundable, non-transferable and cannot be banked or borrowed.
  
• One-time-use vacation points are not available for waitlist reservations.
  
• One-time-use vacation points cannot be applied retroactively to existing reservations.
  
• One-time-use vacation points are only available for Members whose contract is closed and in good standing.
  
• One-time-use vacation points are available only for Disney Vacation Club resorts, Disney Collection, Adventurer Collection and World Passport Collection reservations.
  
• One-time-use vacation points used for Disney Vacation Club resort reservations can only be used up to 7 months prior to arrival.
  
• One-time-use vacation points for Disney Collection, Adventurer Collection and World Passport reservations can be used according to the booking guidelines for each individual collection.

If you are a DVC member and short a few points for a vacation, you can get up to 24 points 7 months before the trip to use.

If you are not a DVC member, your options are to "rent" directly from Disney via DRC or from a DVC member using our Rent/Trade Board.

Enjoy!

Thank you. I looked and couldn't find it cause I was in a hurry. We are DVC members and didn't think we were going this year at all. I should know better my husband is in the army.
