DVC Resale Market Answers: What to do with extra DVC points?

While most DVC Members use up all their points and often need even more points, some occasionally find themselves with extra DVC points that they aren’t able to use before they expire.  Whether you just bought a contract loaded with points or you simply have points leftover after planning your trips for the year, here are two great ways to get the most out of your extra DVC points.

DVC Point Rentals

With point rentals, you can make use of your extra DVC points and earn income to help cover your annual dues!  Our friends at the DVC Rental Store offer three ways for you to rent points:

Rent Out Points

Submit your info and let the DVC Rental Store know the number of points you have available to rent.  You’ll include details like the Use Year and status of those points (banked, borrowed, or current).  Their system will notify you when there’s a matching rental request for your points.  

Check the Open Listings

Search through guests’ rental requests that you can fulfill with your extra points.  

Rent a Confirmed Reservation

Rent out a resort stay that you have already booked.  This option is also helpful if you already booked a trip and are unable to travel at the last minute.

Point Swap Programs

The Disney Wish

If you have extra points and you would like to try something a little different for your next vacation, look into the DVC Rental Store’s Point Swap Programs.  With these programs, you rent out your DVC points and then use that income to put it towards another trip.  There are options for Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, Universal Orlando, and Sandals Resort!

When you participate in the Swap Programs, there are no exchange fees, no blackout dates, and even resale DVC points are eligible!

How Do Swaps Work?

To swap your points, fill out an inquiry form with your contact info, details on the points you would like to rent out, and which type of swap you are interested in.  DVC Rental Store’s Swap Specialist will provide a quote with the number of points that you’ll need to rent to cover the trip and work with you to rent your points and apply those funds to your vacation.  If you don’t have enough points to rent to cover the whole trip, you can also pay cash to make up the remaining balance.

How Many Points Do Swaps Cost?

The number of points needed will depend on the type of vacation you would like to take.  Below are some examples to illustrate the vacation costs as well as the savings compared to swapping points directly through Disney!

Disney Cruise Line

Adventures by Disney

Universal Orlando 

Sandals Resort
