Several years ago we started renting points for our trips. Being able to stay in a deluxe definitely spoils you. Be careful though. Once we started renting points I kept thinking we might as well buy into DVC rather than pay someone else to use their points. Now, I am a proud owner at BCV just waiting for Disney to et me into the system so that I can make my Christmas reservation.

As for the renting it really is easy. It requires a bit of trust on both sides as the renter has to trust the owner will make and keep the reservation. The owner has to trust that the renter will not cause damage to the room--which the owner can be held responsible for.

I usually rent from the same person each year. On my past trip I wanted to stay at AKL concierge so we used a different person to make our reservation. The reservation was not right and the person never got back to me about it. It caused the beginning of the trip to be VERY stressful but I decided that we would make it work and we did. Luckily the hotel helped as best they could given the situation.
