How it works
For renters
Tell us the trip
Resort, dates, party size, and the most you would pay per point. Two minutes, no card. If a listed stay already fits, you can book it directly instead.
Owners come to you
Your request goes on the board, where verified owners who hold points at that resort can see it. Offers arrive inside your budget. You compare and pick one.
Pay once, protected
Verify your ID, sign the rental agreement, and pay. Every fee is shown before you pay, and your refund schedule is on the same page. Your money is held under Booking Protection from that moment on.
Check in under your own name
The owner books your stay and we verify the Disney confirmation number is issued in your name. You can see it yourself in the My Disney Experience app. Before arrival we confirm the reservation is still in place, and you have a 24-hour window after check-in to report any problem.
Your card is charged only after the owner’s Disney reservation is verified and your 24-hour grace period has ended. The owner is paid the day after check-in. If the owner fails to deliver at any point you are refunded in full, in cash.
For owners
Verify once
Government ID through Stripe Identity, then upload your deed. Michael reads every contract by hand, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
Answer real requests
See open requests the moment they post. Offer your points at your price, from a single notification that shows the trip and exactly what you net.
One payout, the day after check-in
Once we verify your Disney reservation and the renter’s 24-hour grace period ends, your full share shows in your Stripe balance. We send it to your bank the day after check-in.
Protections
Verified on both ends
Renters and owners both pass Stripe Identity, the same verification system Shopify, DoorDash, and Lyft use. Every DVC contract is read by hand before a point can be listed.
Money moves on rails
We hold the amount on your card at booking and charge it only once the owner’s Disney reservation is verified in your name. If the owner misses a deadline, the hold is released and you pay nothing. If the owner cancels later, you get everything back, service fee included.
Deadlines and disputes
Confirmations, reservation proof, and arrival all run on clocks the platform enforces. If something goes sideways, the owner’s payout holds while we sort it out.
Questions
Is renting points allowed?
Yes. DVC members are permitted to rent their points to other people, and have been for years. What Disney does not allow is running a commercial operation off a membership. Separately, we cap every contract at 60 percent rented per use year, which is a rule we set ourselves.
How much does renting save?
Deluxe Disney resorts go for up to 50 percent below Disney’s cash rate for the same villa. Points go for roughly $20 to $35 each, while the cash price on a deluxe room can pass $600 a night.
What are the fees?
Renters pay one 12 percent service fee, already included in the total price on every listing, with nothing added at checkout. Owners pay no fee right now. Every owner who joins now is a founding owner and keeps 0 percent for good, instead of the standard 4 percent. There is no per-point commission on either side.
What is the 60 percent rule?
No contract can be more than 60 percent rented per use year, checked at listing and again at booking. It is our own platform rule, not a Disney rule, and it is not a safe harbor against Disney enforcement.
What if something goes wrong?
If the owner fails to deliver at any point, you receive a full cash refund. Cancellations you choose follow the refund schedule shown at your checkout. Report a problem within 24 hours of check-in and any remaining funds hold while we review it.
How do I start as an owner?
Sign up, verify your ID, and upload your contract. Michael reviews it himself, within 24 to 48 hours. The List Your Points page has the full walkthrough.
