Cash reservations

I have a question - if I was short points for one night of a planned 7 night stay, could I pay for one of the nights in cash to cover it off?

DH and I weren't sure how this works, just curious.

Re: Cash reservations

I think you can, if the room is available. I don't know if you ge tany kind of discount though. Let us know how it goes -- I am interested to see what the policy is!

DVC members can book rooms at any DVC resort at a 25% discount off the rack rate, SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY.

Re: Cash reservations

Wow! I've been a member for almost 8 years now, and I didn't know that. I think I asked this question when I joined, and they said I could book the "cash" rooms, but I would have to change to a different room, because they have seperate rooms for cash and members.....maybe something changed and I didn't notice, or maybe I just didn't understand correctly. There was availability at the time, but they said that I would need to switch rooms during the trip. I'm going to look into this for future trips!! Thanks for posting this!

Re: Cash reservations

What you would do is:
ex: you have 300 pts and you want to stay for 8 nights which is 326 and so you go back 1 night or how ever aren't covered completely by pts and pay the cash for just those nights.

Re: Cash reservations

Thanks for the clarification! I'm really happy about this! We are major "borrowers" and it would be nice to let my points catch up for a while!!

Re: Cash reservations

Also, if you have another non-DVC family traveling with you, they can get a cash room with the discount if they're linked to your reservation. We've done this a couple of times with our friends. Now they rent points from fellow MB'ers.
